by

In a game that has the character of a… final for both, o Olympic confronts her They were partisans (28/3, 9:30 p.m., www.sportfm.gr, News Bulletin 247, Novasports Prime), in the packed “Stark Arena, for its 32nd matchday Euroleague.

This is an extremely important match for both of them. On the one hand, for the “red and white”, who are in 19-12 and they want to ensure their direct participation in the playoffs and at the same time maintain any hopes they have for the top four. On the other hand, the Serbs are at 14-17 and they are “burning” for the result, so that they can catch up with the top ten and not even be left out of the play-ins.

In the first round match, his team Giorgos Bartzokas had prevailed 98-94 in overtime, at CHEF.

Last week in the double match, Olympiakos’ tally was one loss and one win. Initially, the Piraeus were defeated 85-72 in Istanbul from Anatolou Efes. Then they welcomed her Villerbanwhich they defeated 80-64. A few days later, the “red and white” had a very comfortable time 93-63 from Patras and the confrontation with the tail Apollofor the Stoiximan Basket League.

From here on, in one more game for this year, Olympiacos will have absences. The “red and white” traveled to Belgrade without them Nikola Milutinov, Philip Petrusev and Michalis Luntzis. On the contrary, he is normally expected to compete Thomas Walkupwho did not play in the recent championship game.

On the contrary, Partizan had the same results as Olympiakos in the “devil’s week” in the two home games it played. At first, it was hard to prevail 87-83 her Baskonia and was subsequently defeated 88-76 from the Real Madrid. Some 24 hours later, the “black and white” returned to positive results, winning away from home 84-78 her Studentskyfor the Adriatic league.

As far as the competitive part is concerned, Partizan is very likely to have a significant absence. His Jacques LeDay. The American forward and formerly of Olympiakos, had taken leave to go to the USA as his father “passed away”, but still he is not reported to have returned. So, his participation in the match is judged by extremely doubtfulto improbable.

The referees of the match will be Juan Carlos Garcia (Spain), Mendy Difalla (France) and Carlos Cortes (Spain).
