Two games from Top 6 in EUROHOLD Balkan League are about to be played later today. First at 18.00 hrs local time BC Rilski Sportist will host BC Levski in the local derby of the competition while two hours later KK Kumanovo 2009 welcomes KK Teodo in a game that may decide the last team in the Final 4.
Both Rilski and Levski are already through to the Final 4 and this match cannot change anything. It′s clear that these teams will meet once again in the semifinal of the competitions which means that this match will be like a warm up for that. Terry Smith from Rilski is the top scorer in the competition with 19.9 points but he is doubtful for the game having missed the last one of the team due to injury. Branko Mirkovic is averaging 16.6 points and 6.5 assists while Hristo Zahariev is with 13.2 points but also may miss the game due to unjury.
The top scorer of Levski Chavdar Kostov will not play in the game as the same goes for the center Nikolay Varbanov who are both injured. Mladen Pantic will replace Varbanov but it′s unclear yet if Nemanja Protic will play because he missed the last match of the team. Marko Marinovic will once again be given the keys to run the offense as he is averaging 12.4 points and 6.0 assists in the competition. Pavel Ivanov will also have to step up in the absence of Kostov as so far he is with 8.1 points per game so far.
In the second game of the night Kumanovo 2009 may qualify for the Final 4 with a win. The team is hosting Teodo and a victory will assure them of qualification. To have a chance of reaching the Final 4 the visitors must win by at least 16 points, then win their last match and hope that Kumanovo 2009 will lose in the final round as well.
For the home team Aleksandar Kostoski is averaging 18.8 points while Uros Lukovic is with 16.8 points and 11.4 rebounds. For the visitors Aleksandar Radulovic is averaging 15.3 points and 7.9 rebounds while Marko Mijovic is with 14.9 points and 7.1 assists.
