After a long hiatus, the action in BCL returns for the Greek teams with AEK Betsson and Prometheus of Patras to enter the “battle” first.
The Patrinoi, initially, welcome at “Dimitris Tofalos” the Murthy (19:00, COSMOTE SPORT 5), having in front of them a very strong test. Ilias Papatheodorou’s team occupies 2nd place in the group with a 2-1 record, having won Hapoel and AEK Betssonbut suffered defeat (90-81) by the Spanish club in the first game between them.
With eventual predominance, o Prometheus will take a very strong step towards qualifying for the quarter-finals, but even in the event of a defeat, the Patrinos are not… lost, since the next two matches are enough for them to secure the ticket for the eight. It is worth noting that the team of Patras comes from a great victory (70-57) against him Marswhile Murcia did a “double” in Manresa with a score of 88-83.
A race with much higher stakes is given by AEK Betssonwhich hosts the Hapoel Holon (20:45, COSMOTE SPORT 4, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247) in the empty Klisto of Ano Liosion, with victory being the only way for Elias Zouro’s team if they want to stay “alive” for qualification.
The Union did… sea in the first round of the “16” stage, when it scored 3 losses in as many games. In this way, it stayed on 0-3 and in last place, so in the event of a loss, he will be looking for a… miracle so that he can continue to the quarterfinals. On the contrary, with a victory, the “yellow and black” will again enter the “cave” of qualification, although obviously other results will be needed afterwards.
“We have a difficult match ahead of us because of Hapoel’s dynamics, but also because we will not have our world. Obviously, winning is the only way if we want to stay on track to qualify for the next phase of the BCL.”Elias Zouros said about this match, which he will not have at his disposal Justin Tillman and Dimitris Flionis for the match.
