A challenging week ahead in Delasport Balkan League

Another challenging week lies ahead of us in Delasport Balkan League. A total of four games will be played between today and Wednesday as all of them have an importance for the standings. Stage 1 is getting to its middle point and each contest has significanse for the standings and the battle for Stage 2.

We start today in Stara Zagora where BC Beroe will host Ironi Rain Nahariya. The tip-off is at 19.00 local time and the match will be broadcast LIVE on RING Tv in Bulgaria, Sport 5 in Israel and the competition's YouTube channel. The hosts are having injury problems so that would be a problem for that as the visitors are coming with full roster and will be looking for a revenge. So far the Israeli have played all of their three games at home and the only defeat came in the first round against Beroe.

Then on Tuesday we have the important clash between KK Navico Akademija FMP and BC Levski. Both sides are winless in Group A and are expected to fight for the fourth position and a place in Stage 2. That's why the matches between the two teams are really important and the contest on Tuesday night is one to watch. The visitors will have problems as they will be without their best player in Chavdar Kostov so others will have to step up.

On Wednesday there will be two more games. KK TFT and KK Ibar will meet in Skopje with the home side looking to take revenge for the defeat in Skopje and will try to win also to get in a good position to qualify for Stage 2. Ibar is also in the mix for the next stage so the team will come to North Macedonia ready to fight.

On the same day Akademik Plovdiv will host Ironi Rain Nahariya for the visitors' second game in Bulgaria. Currently the Plovdiv side is the lead in the group with 5-2 record so it should be an interesting game as the visitors will be looking to get one over the hosts in their quest for the first place in the group.
