FIBA Europe Cup: Crucial match for Maroussi – For PAOK to maintain the absolute

Their obligations to FIBA Europe Cup they continue it Maroussi and PAOK, who are looking for victories for different reasons.

Initially, the northern suburbs team hosts the Sambah of Rimas Kurtinaitis (20:15, ERT3) for the fifth matchday of the competition, with the pink card being one-way. In the first game of the two opponents, the “yellow and black” did the “double” in Baku and since then they have not won another victory.

The Maroussiwith Ilias Zouros now on the bench, is on a five-game losing streak in all competitions, has a 2-2 record in European Cup and he definitely wants a win so that he stays alive for the first place, but also becomes favorite for the second place, which will probably give him a ticket to the next phase.

Despite the positive start to the season, the “yellow and black” are running a very negative streak with consecutive defeats by Peristeri, Charleroi, Panionio, Norrköping and PAOK. Now, Maroussi is invited to leave behind this difficult period, to get the first victory of the season Zouro and get back on track by staying alive to qualify.

His team Massimo Cancellieri has 4 consecutive wins in all competitions, is unbeaten in European Cup with a record of 4-0 and will secure first place in the group (and therefore qualification to the “16”) if they beat Porto at Dragao Arena (22:00, Youtube FIBA).
