The two Greek teams in the Euroleague are facing serious obstacles tonight, in the first of two games of the “devil’s week”.

OUR Olympic (8-4) hosts at 20.00 at SEF Pioneer (10-2) Fenerbahce Itoudis and Kalatis, while about Panathinaikos will play in Valencia (21.45), three days before his next game on Spanish soil against rivals Barcelona on Friday.

The Red-Whites will play their second game the day before against Villeurbanne in France. The rest of today’s Euroleague games (round 13): 20.00 Red Star – Zalgiris, 21.00 Villeurbann – Partizan, 21.30 Armani Milano – Maccabi, 21.30 Bayern – Real Madrid.

Olympiacos showed against Virtus Bologna and PAOK that they have found themselves again and are waiting for Fenerbahce to establish themselves with a victory in the top four. His fans actually stood up, and everything suggests that after the match with Panathinaikos there will be a second full house, as only 1,550 tickets remained unsold yesterday. The Turkish team comes out without injured Wilbekin, Motley and injured from their first defeat in the Turkish league, but they are still a formidable opponent.

“The fact that Fener is number one is saying something. He has the most wins because he had a good schedule early on and played well away from home. There are many games and it is difficult for players to follow this process. If we play well, we will be very lucky to win,” said Giorgos Bartzokas, while Dimitris Itoudis emphasized: “We are playing with a Final Four-level team that plays very good basketball, has the right chemistry, and all of its players are healthy. . We are going through hardships, but we will fight.”

Panathinaikos went to Valencia with a 6-6 record and no problems in the final minutes, while Grigonis stayed in Athens.

In contrast, Valencia (5-7) is certainly not counting on injured Van Rossum, Hermansson and Gimenez, while top scorer Chris Jones is treating knee problems that will probably not leave him out.

“Two games this week, the first against Valencia, a good team with good players. Dublievich is one of the best central defenders in Europe. We have to be ready and play well. We have improved our performance in previous matches. The season is long and there are many games. The program is complex. We must go step by step,” Dejan Radonich said for his part.
