Action continuity at Stoiximan GBL, with Olympic to host tonight (20:15, ERT3, sport-fm.gr) Prometheus of Patras at the Peace and Friendship Stadium, as part of the 6th matchday of the championship.
The “red and white” come to tonight’s game with acquired speed and with the psychology at the height, after Friday’s great double over the “eternal” opponent in OAKA with a score of 94-89 for the 8th matchday of the Euroleague. With forwards Evan Fournier and Sasha Vezenkov who had 22 and 20 points respectively, but also with the excellent circulation of the ball as an ally (28 assists for 11 errors), they managed to win against Panathinaikos AKTOR and reach four consecutive victories in all competitions, performing beautiful and aggressive basketball. At the league level, Giorgos Bartzokas’ total comes from the double over AEK Betsson BC (77-96), with which he climbed to 4-1 and second place, behind only the “greens”.
On the other hand now, Prometheus suffered the midweek away defeat in Turkey by Galatasaray (91-74) for the 4th matchday of the BCL, as a result of which it remains at 1-3 and now makes it dangerously difficult to qualify for the next round of the institution. A score that does injustice to the effort of Patrina, who two 24 hours after the demanding championship match with Panathinaikos (defeated 92-67) fought until the final for the double in Polis, however, in the final they collapsed and the difference escaped. At the Stoiximan GBL level, they are at 7th in the standings with a 3-2 record.
Sta competitively now, Olympiacos have no injury problems – apart from that of Keenan Evans since the start of the season, of course – and it remains to be seen which foreigner will be cut from the roster for tonight’s game. On the contrary, Ilias Papatheodorou will have all the available weapons in his quiver.
Finally, regarding the prehistory of the two teams, Olympiacos has the absolute number of victories in their 19 meetings, with 11 of them coming in SEF.

Saturday 09/11
