Weekly preview: Two important matches for first place in both groups

This week we are going to have two games in EUROHOLD Balkan League and both are very very important.

We start on Tuesday in Craiova where the local team is hosting KK Kumanovo 2009. This game will be the last one for both teams in the Second Stage and they both know that are through. A win for Craiova means that they will finish first in the group while a win for Kumanovo will give them chance and they will have to hope that Peja will be losing to Mornar next week. Those teams played an interesting game in Kumanovo a few weeks ago and we should expect the game this night as well. Craiova is playing very well recently while the Macedonians are on a run of three straight wins so we are in for a great battle.

On Wednesday we are having BC Rilski Sportist against KK Kozuv. If the visitors win this match they′ll be first and will qualify directly for the semifinal. Rilski on the other side need two wins in the last two games to be first but still both teams have at least a spot in the 1/4 finals. Kozuv will come with high confidence to this game as they reached the Macedonian cup final a few days ago. Rilski finished third in Bulgarian cup so the team will also be eager to play better and prove themselves. Aleksej Nesovic will be a big miss for Kozuv as his injury won′t let him play.

Both games will be LIVE on Romanian and Bulgarian National TV respectively and on Sportmedia.tv.
