Action continues heading towards the “final stretch” of the regular season in this year’s Euroleague, with four matches included in tonight’s program 32nd matchday!
The action will start on 20:00when we will have jambol in Kaunas and in its match Zalgiris with the Armani Milan. Final game for the two teams in the battle to complete the regular season by being in the top ten that participates in the play-ins. 13-18 the home team’s record, last week they celebrated two consecutive and important victories at the “Zalgirio Arena”, against Virtus Bologna (96-81) and Baskonia (94-76), teams that are in the first half of the standings. On the other hand, promoted Armani have won three of their last four games in the Euroleague, having improved their record to 14-17 and are now 10th.
An hour and a half later (21:30), we will have the start of an equally important match, this one Baskonia with the Effects! Coming from the two consecutive victories of the last “devil’s week” against Olympiakos (85-72) and Alba (85-84), Efes wants to continue its… counterattack, looking for a double that will logically put it in the top ten. On the other hand, the Basques are looking for the reaction they need, after the painful defeats by Partizan (87-83) and Zalgiris (94-76).
She also lost important ground to find herself in the playin Bayern Munichwhich tonight at 21:30 will host her Barcelona, looking to bounce back from back-to-back defeats against Valencia and Maccabi Tel Aviv. In 15th place with a 13-18 record, the Bavarians may be just one win away from 10th-placed Armani, but they have a lot of teams to overcome in the “final stretch.” As for the “blaugrana”, they left defeated by Istanbul (88-74 by Fener) and Athens (89-81 by Panathinaikos), now tied for second place with the “greens” and Monaco.
Finally, the evening’s curtain will fall (22:00) with the French derby in between Villerban and Monaco. Without a score motivation in the finale of the regular season, Pierik Poupé’s team remains in the penultimate position of the standings with 7-24, above only Alba. As for Monaco, they are vying for a spot that will give them home-court advantage in the playoffs, having troubled their friends last week with a 98-80 home loss to Armani Milano and a narrow 79-78 win against in Valencia.
