The program in the Balkan League offers us two matches tonight. Both will start at 18:30 (17:30 CET) hrs local time in Bulgaria and will be broadcast LIVE on YouTube and SportMedia.tv. The games will be playedin a distance of around 200 km and will see Beroe taking on Blokotehna in Stara Zagora and Academic Bultex 99 hosting Bashkimi in Plovdiv.

 

Without doubt the derby of the week is in Stara Zagora. The hosts are currently unbeaten while the Macedonians lost their only game so far when they visited Academic in Plovdiv. Beroe is in a great run of wins between Bulgarian league and BIBL and the team will look to continue that trend. In the last week the team missed Dallin Bachynski and Tihomir Zhelev due to illness and few days ago the team′s top performer so far - Conner Frankamp got injured during a game. The condition of those three players will be really crucial for the team′s chances. Blokotehna on the other side will hope to once again be able to use Danilo Mijatovic′s power under the basket. The team of course counts a lot also the perimeter players like Glavchev, Mladenovikj and Nikolikj who together with Gaydis need to step up in order for their team to have a chance of winning. Blokotehna is a really good offensive team but to get the win in Stara Zagora it will need to step it up on defense as well.

 

The other game sees Academic Bultex 99 going for another win in BIBL. The team started slow but after the coaching change is looking better and is in a very good position to reach the Final Four. A win tonight will almost certainly guarantee that and of course Bachev and Knight will try to carry their team to another one. On the other side we have Bashkimi trying to improve game after game. They have the league′s top scorer in Jordan Capps who will hope to do damage in offense and the likes of Steven Haney, Michael Martin and Lamar Wofford-Humphrey. For Bashkimi to have a chance in this match the team needs to be at 100% and to give it all both in defense and offense.
