THE Aris Betsson confronts her Hapoel Jerusalem in Belgrade (9:00 p.m., NovaSports 4), where it plays due to the war-torn state of Israel. The Thessalonians have an elevated psychology after the breath-taking victory against the Panionioand will be looking to return to the European pink sheets.

On the other hand, Mr Panionios will remain on Greek soil, since it welcomes the Trento (19:30, NovaSports 5). The “cyan and red” are in a much more difficult situation, since they count seven consecutive defeats in all competitions, they have a record of 1-3 in the Eurocup and are definitely looking for a win.
