The last playing week of 2022 will give us important answers

The last playing week of 2022 in Delasport Balkan League offers us four games in Bulgaria and they could very well decide a lot of things in both groups.

We start tonight with Beroe hosting Sigal Prishtina. In Stara Zagora the teams will be looking to make an important step towards qualifying for Stage 2 with the match being especially important for the local team. They are currently with a 2-5 record and one more defeat will make things really hard for them. Sigal is at 3-2 and still has five games to go but surely will be looking to get one in Stara Zagora to make things easier afterwards.

The other match in Group B also involves Sigal. On Wednesday the team will be in Plovdiv to meek Akademik. The runners-up from last season have 5-3 record and are practically qualified for Stage 2 but nevertheless will be trying to win in order to be able finish higher in the group. A lot of course will depend on how Sigal performed in the match on Monday as it will influence their performance in Plovdiv.

The leader in Group A - Hapoel Nufar Energy Galil Elion is visiting Bulgaria this week to play Balkan and Levski. The first match will be on Tuesday in Botevgrad where the hosts will be looking for revenge. They lost the first game of the season in Israel but showed a good fighting spirit so hopefully for them that will be repeated. Hapoel in the meantime will try to continue being the only unbeaten team in the competition and will try to return home with two wins.

The second game is on Thursday when the Israelis visit Levski in Sofia. The Blues have problems with the roster as their most important player Chavdar Kostov is injured and joined Hristo Zahariev on the sidelines. That however hopefully for the hosts will motivate the others to give even more and they'll try to do it from the first minute in order to have a chance.
