18-02-2014 | 09:37
Another four important and interesting games are awaiting us this week in EUROHOLD Balkan League. Perhaps the most interesting of them is in Sofia where Levski will host Galil Gilboa in a repeat of the last two finals in the competition.
First in Botevgrad Balkan is hosting Kumanovo 2009 and is looking to make it five home wins in a row. On the other side the visitors are coming with three straight defeat and another one will move them down in the standings. Balkan is having a slight advantage as the team has no injury problems while the Macedonians will miss Nemanja Vranjes and Uros Lukovic who are out.
Later today KK Teodo will welcome KB Sigal Prishtina in Tivat. The host have two straight win and still haven′t lost hope to advance to the next round. Of course this goes through a victory tonight over one of the league leaders and they will hope to repeat the play against Levski last week.
The first game on Wednesday sees Levski hosting Galil Gilboa in a repeat of the last two final games in the competition. The Blues won in Israel earlier in the season but now are in a very difficult moment and have two straight defeat in the league. Galil on the other side lost their last away game to Sigal but now will try to get the victory which will be a big step towards one of the top two positions and place in the Final 4.
The last game of the week is SCM U Craiova against KB Peja. The hosts need to win in order to preserve their chances of a Top 6 finish and place in the 1/4 finals. The Romanians though are meeting the hottest team in the league at the moment. The visitors from Kosovo have four wins in a row and suddenly they are in the fighting for the top positions in the standings. They have a new coach in the face of Slobodan Savovic and it remains to be seen how the players will react on that.News
