Looking for a reaction against Barcelona Panathinaikos!
Tonight (9:15 p.m., Novasports Prime, News Bulletin 247, sport-fm.gr) the “greens” host the “blaugrana” at OAKA for 13th matchday of the Euroleague, wanting to get back to positive results after their two consecutive defeats against Zalgiris and Monaco.
In 6th place in the standings with a record 7-5 Ergin Ataman’s team last week paid for its poor defensive operation and many mistakes, losing 91-88 to the Monaco. In a match that was… a rodeo throughout its duration, the Monegasques were more accurate in the big shots of the last period and left OAKA victorious, in the debut of Vassilis Spanoulis in their technical leadership. On Sunday (1/12), Panathinaikos “broke out” in Maroussi, which won comfortably 100-74 for the 8th matchday of the Stoiximan Basket League.
As far as the matches are concerned, Ergin Ataman will not have the injured players at his disposal again Grigonis and Antetokounmpowhile Papapetrou will remain out, with the Turkish coach declaring that he is out of the team for the next period, following a decision by the club. On the other hand, Mr Nanwho was absent from the game against Maroussi due to a sudden feeling of unwellness, will be available even though he is not at 100%, since the tests he underwent were “clean”.
As for her Barcelonashe also comes from a negative streak, now “counting” three consecutive negative results for her in the Euroleague. After their defeats against Paris and Bayern Munich, last week they didn’t even make it in the Clasico with Real Madridlosing 97-90 at home in a thrilling contest that went to the second overtime. In fact, last Sunday (1/12) he confirmed that he is not in a good condition, losing with the heavy 85-72 to Manresa for the Spanish championship.
At 7-5 now its record in the Euroleague, it is now two wins away from the top of the standings and, like Panathinaikos, it is also looking for a reaction in tonight’s match. In the competitions, Peniaroja has to manage several absences, since he cannot count on the services of the injured, Laprovitola, Brithuela, Netto and Metowhile his participation is doubtful Jabari Parker.
Regarding the previous meetings between the two teams, last season Panathinaikos defeated Barcelona for the first time, after ten consecutive defeats that “counted” since 2018.
The referees of tonight’s match will be Damir Yavor (Croatian), Carmelo Paterniko (Italy) and Luka Kardum (Croatian).
