Today (10/25) marks the end of the fourth round of the Stoiximan GBL, with Olympiacos traveling to Patras to face Promitheas at 1:00 p.m.
The “Red-and-Whites” have started their domestic campaign in the Greek league with a perfect record, having defeated Heraklis, Kolossos, and Vikos Ioannina in the first three rounds. The Piraeus-based team, however, is coming off its first home loss in the EuroLeague and its second overall, as on Friday (10/23) they were hampered by absences against Fenerbahçe, losing 61-64 and dropping to 5-2. Giorgos Bartzokas’s team will face the Patras squad with a long list of absences.
