Panathinaikos AKTOR wants to extend his good time in a very demanding home. His team Ergin Ataman hosted by Red Star at “Pionir Hall” for its 7th matchday Euroleague (21:00, NovaSports Prime, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247), wanting to take advantage of his own form but also the opponent’s deformation.
The “greens” are in an excellent “moon”. After the two defeats against Paris and Real, followed four straight wins against AEK Betsson, Fenerbahce, Olympiacos and Villerban. In the Euroleague, Panathinaikos is at 4-2 and seems to be slowly finding his good self, wanting to build on these results with a “double” in a very difficult venue.
The positive news for the “clover” is that Red Star is not at its best. After a surprising start with 3X3, the team of Yannis Sfeiropoulos counts three consecutive defeats from Barcelona in Belgrade, Real in Madrid and Zalgiris in Lithuania. Especially the last result, with a buzzer beater by Bryant Dunston, was a strong blow for the psychology of the “red and whites”.
Of course, this does not mean anything, as the Pioneer Hall is an extremely noisy venue and can “transform” the Red Star. It will take a lot of composure from the players of Ergin Ataman, similar to the one they showed in Polis and SEF, so that they can get this precious “double” that will take them even higher in the standings.
Regarding the competitive news, he did not travel to Belgrade for Panathinaikos Marius Grigoniswho has missed the team’s last three games due to back problems. For Red Star, he will definitely be left out Joel Boloboi with a problem in his right knee, while his presence is doubtful Milos Teodosicwho has a right ankle injury and was absent against Zalgiris two days ago.
It is recalled that the reason for the move of the “red and white” from the imposing “Beogradska Arena” to the “Hala Pionir” is a tennis tournament that will be held on those days (from November 1 to 9) on the court normally used by Red Starwhich forces his team Yannis Sfeiropoulou to change seat.
The game was appointed to be conducted by Juan Carlos Garcia (Spain), Shefi Shemes (Israel) and Robert Wiklitsky (Czech Republic).
