Greek A1 Basketball - Olympiakos BC vs PAOK BC Basketball betting preview

Ok third game between Olympiakos and Paok for the greek quarterfinals.The current score of the series is 1-1.The Reds beat easily Paok at the first game by 9 points and three days later Salonica team took the game with 84-80 final score.Olympiakos is the heavy favorite here by 9 points

For the home team the only questionable player is Sofoclis Schortsanitis.Coach Pini Gerson will probably let him out of the game because of his bad behaviour last week.For Paok Vlado Scepanovic will at sure be out this time because of a knee injury.

In general i do not like to bet against my favorite team but i think Paok has not many chances for this game.Without the first scorer Scepanovic only Kalampokis seems capable to threaten Olympiakos.I see Panagiotis Vasilopoulos,the best defender of the Reds, stay close to the greek guard and do not let him make his usual game.

Under the basket the home team has an obvious advantage and even without Baby-Shaq(Schortsanitis) in its roster Olympiakos will not have a problem.Paoks big men Ostoic,Pasalic and Agadakos are not such good players like Stak,Zizic and Bourousis so i see the Reds to control the rebounds today.

In the first game Olympiakos won just by nine points but the truth is that they were leading by 18 points just one minute before the end of the game.I expect an even easier victory for the home team today as Paok away from home loses most of his power.

Pick : Olympiakos -9 points
