Time for it 7th “Eternal” derby of the season has arrived.
THE Panathinaikos AKTOR welcomes him to OAKA Olympic for the third matchday of her Top-6 Stoiximan Basket League (20:15, ERT3, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247), in the so far least interesting match between them.
Indeed, the “greens”, having won both matches of the regular season of the championship, maintain strong lead for winning the home advantage, as well as even with a defeat at OAKAthey would also have to lose one of the remaining games (Prometheus in, Mars out, Dove in) so that they would be in second place.
Despite the small score at stake, every derby is very important for reasons prestige only. The two Greek teams are in an excellent psychological state, having secured a place in the playoffs Euroleagueso they will be looking for the pink slip to keep their spirits high after the excellent European results.
Regarding the competitive news of the two opponents, for Panathinaikos AKTOR extremely doubtful is the Jerian Grantwho is not fully over the quadriceps discomfort in his right leg that he picked up in the Euroleague match against Alba Berlin and will probably protect yourself.
On the other hand, Mr George Bartzokas he has no injury problems to deal with. Except will be the Nikola Milutinov, Ignas Brazdeikis and Luke Sikma, who are not registered in the league. Of the remaining 7 foreigners (Petrushev, Kanaan, Wright, McKissick, Fall, Peters, Williams-Goss), the Greek coach will have to “cut” one. Questionable is Filip Petrusev, who is fine medically and it remains to be seen if he will compete.
The refereeing team of the match will be Pitsilkas, Tsimpuris, Maglogiannis.
The results of this year’s derby:
Olympiacos-Panathinaikos 75-51 (Super Cup)
Panathinaikos-Olympiakos 78-88 par. (Euroleague)
