Olympiacos-Panionios: To maintain the unbeaten streak, the “red and whites” against the renewed Historic

With an interesting encounter with… an aroma from the past, the competitive action continues today in Stoiximan GBL.



At 13:00, Mr Olympic welcomes him to the Stadium of Peace and Friendship Panionio (ERT2, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247) for the third matchday of the championship.

Diametrically opposite the courses of the two teams at the beginning of this season, with the “red and whites” counting two victories in the same number of first matches against Marousi (81-100) and Panathinaikos (90-86)the time when Neosmyrnios have met heavy defeats by Peristeri (61-87) and AEK (93-73).

His team Giorgos Bartzokas comes from difficult “devil’s week” in the Euroleague, where it was defeated by a score of 82-78 by Efes in Faliro and last Thursday defeated Maccabi in Belgrade with an epic reversal from -14. The Historian also had a European obligation, which lost 66-56 to Burg in Glyfada for the 3rd matchday of the EuroCup, again presenting a bad image.

This particular game it was also the … swan song of Luka Pavicevicwho left the technical leadership of the club paying the “marble” of very bad appearances. Debts of officials Chris Hougaz and Nikos Karagiannis took over as technicians, who will be on the sidelines in tonight’s match.

In the competition, Olympiacos is expected to have at his disposal Evan Fournierwhile chances to return to competitive action also have Thomas Walkup and Shaquille McKissick. Keenan Evans and Mustafa Fal are permanently out. Panionios does not deal with racing issues.

Olympiacos and Panionios will face each other for the 110th time from A’ Ethniki’s payment and the “red and white” have the first reason with 78 victories against 31 of Neosmyrnios (48-7 at home). In the professional Championship years their dominance is even stronger while they count 16 consecutive home wins. The last time Panionios passed through Olympiacos was in the 2006-07 season (79-81).
