A difficult mission awaits him Panathinaikos AKTOR in Belgrade, for the return to victories in Euroleague.
After the defeat in the “eternal” derby by Olympicin SEF, the “greens” face him Red Star (20/3, 21:30, www.sportfm.gr, News Bulletin 247, Novasports Prime) at “Stark Arena”, for the 30th matchday.
His team Ergin Ataman is in 18-11 and “fights” for entry into the foursome, while on the other hand it is his Yannis Sfeiropoulou it is at 10-19 and her participation until the end of this year’s event is a bit… procedural. In the game of the first round, the “clover” had prevailed comfortably 82-65 in OAKA.
The previous matchday, Panathinaikos faced Olympiakos in the Faliro derby. The many mistakes and failure didn’t allow the “clover” to get anything from SEF and so it suffered a defeat with a score 71-65losing the tie, as the Piraeus had also won the first round match in Marousi.
A few days later, Ergin Ataman’s team had an away match against PAOK, for the Stoiximan Basket League. There, the Greens were superior from start to finish, taking a comfortable victory by a score 89-73. From here on, the problems are not lacking for Panathinaikos AKTOR. Except remain the Kostas Antetokounmpo and Luka Vildosawho did not follow the mission to the capital of Serbia.
On the other hand, Red Star is in a mini… slump in the Euroleague. At this moment, the team of Yannis Sfairopoulos counts five consecutive defeats. The previous matchday hosted the Maccabi Tel Aviv. Although it held the lead for three quarters, in the fourth it allowed the “people’s team” to make individual scores 19-31 and walk away with the victory by a score 84-80. Some 24 hours later, the “red and white” of Belgrade seized the opportunity they had in Adriatic league and they broke out. Specifically, they faced away from home Chimbonawhich they crushed 82-59.
However, Red Star also has significant racing problems. Doubtful is the involvement of its leader Milos Teodosicwhile there will still be three regional ones, namely Jago dos Santos, Branko Lazic and Nikola Topic. In fact, the Brazilian guard will undergo surgery and it is unknown when he will return to action.
The referees of the match will be Juan Carlos Garcia (Spain), Piotr Pastusiak (Poland) and Kristaps Konstantinovs (Latvia).
