Returns to CHEF and Olympiacos wants to return to winning ways. His team Giorgos Bartzokas welcomes her Virtus Bologna (21:15, NovaSports Prime, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247) for its 16th matchday Euroleague.
The “red and whites” start with this match a new “devil’s week” of the top European competition, having a record of 9-6 (6-1 at home). In fact, they were defeated in three of the last four gamescounting two straight defeats from Paris in SEF and Red Star in Belgrade. Now, they are looking for a reaction in order not to lose touch with the top of the standings.
An important part where the Olympic that of the headquarters prevails, since only the pioneer Paris has managed to pass from the SEF to the Euroleague this year. More generally, this is a “must-win” game for the Piraeus, as the Virtues is (in theory) one of the most “passable” teams in the tournament, and a possible defeat will have a significant rating cost, especially if combined with the previous ones.
The Italian team recently hired the experienced technician Dusko Ivanovic after his resignation Luca Banki. They have a 3-12 record and are second to last in the standings, but they are coming off a home win Baskonia with a three-pointer and his foul Clyburn almost finished. More generally, the presence of the experienced technician guarantees, if nothing else, more rational basketball for the Italians.
Regarding the racing news of Olympiakos, Mustafa Fal he overcame the discomfort in the adductors and trained normally the day before the match, so the “red and white” after several games will again have two centers available. On the contrary, out of battle are the Moses Wright (until the end of the season), Keenan Evans (he is expected to slowly enter the races from January) and Nathan Mensah (not yet integrated). For Virtus, he was out of action with gastroenteritis Tornik Sengelia.
The game was appointed to be conducted by Damir Javor (Croatia), Luka Kardum (Croatia) and Jurgis Laurinavicius (Lithuania).
