He welcomes him for the 15th Greek Basketball League match, in a match that can largely judge the ultimate home advantage until the championship finals. PATHENAIC AND OLYMPIAKE ADVERSE are fighting in OAKA, in their fourth year’s “fight”. In the first round of the league, the “seventh” was the winner of the match that took place on October 27 at the SEF (78-71). The other two derbys of this season had Olympiacos winner, who won 86–85 in the Super Cup final in Rhodes and 94–89 in OAKA for Euroleague. The “greens” have a 14-0 record, while the Pirates follow 13-1. This game will probably judge the ultimate home advantage in the league playoffs. Panathinaikos will secure it with victory, while he will remain in first place even if he is defeated with less than 7 points. CORVERSE Tonight is the 218th derby between the two “eternal” opponents from paying the first National (since 1963-64) and Panathinaikos has the lead in all these games but especially in the years of the professional league (since 1992-93). Olympiacos on his part seeks his 100th victory in these derbys. On the race track, Erkin Ataman cannot count on Dino Mitoglou, Marius Grigonis, Matias Lesor and Costas Antetokounbo, while “cut off” and Brown (i.e., one of the seven foreigners). On the other hand, Olympiacos does not have Chinan Evans, Moses Wright, Nathan Mensa, but also Sakil McKishik who is off the league list. The two teams have completely opposite psychology right now. The “greens” come from two consecutive defeats in the Euroleague “devil week”, as they failed in Barcelona and Victoria. The “reds”, for their part, triumphed in Vitoria and Madrid, remaining at the top of the score. Referees of the contest were appointed Papapetrou, Cholakos and Katrachuras.
