After a short break, the action at FIBA Europe Cup returns for Maroussi and PAOKwith the round of 16, which is also conducted in group format.
The northern suburbs team is initially in Bursa and will face Tofas (19:00). The team of Ilias Zouros passed… marginally in the second phase of the competition, as one of the best second teams in the group phase. More generally, the Maroussi has shown significant volatility this season, has 2-6 record in the championship and is invited to face away from home one of the favorites of the competition.
As incredible as it sounds, the Tofa they still don’t have a single defeat this season. Orhun Ene’s team went 6/6 in the first phase of the FIBA ​​Europe Cup, while leading the Turkish league, having a record of 8-0 and leaving behind teams such as Fenerbahce and Anadolu Efes. It is, therefore, a very difficult game, in which Marousi is looking for a big advantage.
On the other hand, he has a much more passable work PAOK. Massimo Cancellieri’s team is hosted in Tallinn by Kalev/Kramos (19:30), also looking for his first victory in the second phase of the event. In the first round, the “two-headed man of the north” passed as second but with an excellent record (5-1).
In general, however, things are not going very well for the “black and white” recently, as they have 4 defeats in the last 5 matches, the most recent of which was in the Thessaloniki derby with Mars. The positive news for PAOK is that the Estonian side Kalev/Kramos is not a formidable opponent, although they qualified first from their group with a 5-1 record.
