Action continues tonight at Stoiximan Basket League and in the third round of the competition, with two interesting matches for the Top-6 and the playouts.
Let us recall that after the completion of the regular season, the twelve teams of the league were divided based on ranking into two groups of six, for the Phase II applied for the first time in history, naturally transferring their results. The first six participate in the Top 6 and the rest in the playouts, from where the one team that will be relegated will emerge, but both will make up this year’s playoffs with the first six.
Tonight, Mr Olympic will welcome him Mars on SEF (17:15, ERT3), in the premiere of the two teams in the Top-6. The “red and white” enter this process with the second best record (20-2), at the same time, the Thessalonians count 12-10.
His team Giorgos Bartzokas it comes from the great double with an upset over Partizan in Belgrade (69-74), thus remaining on track for the 4th place. With just one defeat in their last 19 games in all competitions, Piraeus want to get out of tonight’s game without blood so they can focus on the next game against Red Star in Serbia. Apart from the absence of Nikola Milutinov, Olympiacos will probably have Filip Petrusev available again.
On the other hand now, Mars broke out last week against Lavrio (84-60), thus ending a negative streak of five games without a win in the league and Europe. The entirety of it Yannis Kastritis came down to Athens for the best possible, wanting to repeat the historic double months ago in the capital against Panathinaikos AKTOR. In the competition, Sanogo was left out of the squad as the player is weakened from fasting since Ramadan.
Three hours later, specifically at 20:15, the Laurel hosts her Carditsa for the playouts. The hosts are one win away from 7th PAOK and 8th AEK, wanting to enter a “wedge” in the battle for the 8th place and entry into the playoffs. On the other hand, Karditsa, which ignores a victory away from home this year (11 defeats in as many matches), has a record of 7-15, which is at a safe distance from the bottom, Apollon Patrons (3-20).
