Its rich action Euroleague continues tonight with a total five matches for the 14th matchday of the top interclub competition.
After a satisfying first two days in which the Panathinaikos AKTOR and the Olympic are back to winning ways, the fourth “devil’s week” of the season enters its second leg!
Today, we have the… main course of the 14th “turn”, as, apart from the away game of the “greens” against Partizan in Belgrade, four more games will be played.
It starts at 20:00 in Kaunas, where the Zalgiris welcomes her Anatolou Efes at “Zalgirio Arena”. Andrea Trinkeri’s team is coming off a narrow 84-78 road loss to Partizan, making it two straight losses and five in the last six matches. On the other hand, the Turks, on Tuesday night, returned to winning and good performances in the competition, winning with an impressive 101-90 against Bayern Munich in Istanbul, as a result of which they went up to 7-6.
At 21:05, the Maccabi Tel Aviv will host at “Alexander Nikolic Hall” in Belgrade Barcelonawith both teams looking for a “restart” in the competition. The Israelis, who are 16th in the standings with a 4-9 record, are coming off a 93-81 home loss to league leaders Paris. For their part, the Blaugrana have been without a pink card for four matches, with Penaroja’s side losing on Tuesday to Panathinaikos AKTOR (90-89) and to drop to 8th place and 7-6.
Almost half an hour later, specifically at 21:30, h Bayern Munich will face the formed Baskonia at the Audi Dome. The Bavarians fortunately have two consecutive defeats in the tournament, having fallen to 8-5 and 6th place, while the Basques are coming from two consecutive victories, with the last one coming against the previous champion, Fenerbahce!
Finally, a quarter of an hour later, the big derby of the day will be held, with Real Madrid to welcome her Fenerbahce in the “WiZink Center”. The Merengues are coming off the road…cazoo against Villeurbanne, coming off an 80-78 loss on Paris Lee’s buzzer beater two-pointer. This was also the 7th defeat of Chus Mateo’s team in this year’s Euroleague, as a result of which they are in 12th place and 2 wins away from the top six.
On the other hand, Sarunas Jasikevicius’ team was “knocked down” from the top, as, after losing at home to Armani Milano last week, they also lost to Baskonia the day before yesterday, thus falling to 9-4. Both of them need a win tonight and then a good performance to improve their psychology ahead of the next game.
