Continuing the “devil’s week”… finals, o Panathinaikos ACTOR welcomes her Barcelona at OAKA (22/03, 21:15, NovaSports Prime, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247) for its 31st matchday Euroleague.
The “greens” come from the easy and important victory over him Red Star with a score of 89-76 in Belgrade. Having a very good day Kostas Sloukas, Matias Lessor, Dino Mitoglou and Kendrick NunnErgin Ataman’s team did not face particular problems, in a home where it traditionally struggles, climbing to the 19-11 and in the third place of the event.
Now, with 4 matches left in the regular season, the “clover” is looking for every possible victory so that it can reach the coveted goal, which is the home advantage. In fact, the match against Barcelonawhich is a direct competitor with a 20-10 record, is one of the most critical, since with a pink sheet the Panathinaikos AKTOR will press even harder on the quad, looking even… higher. Especially if the “greens” go overboard and cover the 8-point loss (80-72) in the first game.
On the other hand, Barcelona comes from a very negative appearance. The “Blaugrana” were seduced by the… ultrasonic Fenerbahce in Polis and were defeated by a score of 88-74, as a result of which they now see even second place, which they held for the longest period of the season, under threat. Given that, Roger Grimmow’s formidable side will be looking for a response, armed with the widest rotation from Panathinaikos AKTORwho again played in Belgrade with… 6.5 players who “carried” the whole load.
As far as racing problems are concerned, Mr Ergin Ataman saw him Luka Vildosa to return to training on Thursday (21/03). The Argentinian guard might be in the 12, which is not certain, and it remains to be seen if he will get playing time from the Turkish coach. Outside will be again Costas Antetokounmpo. On the other hand, it is expected to line up in full Barcelona.
The match was appointed to be directed by Mendy Difala (France), Gitis Vilius (Lithuania) and Michele Rossi (Italy).
