Tonight (21), Olympiakos basketball players welcome Barcelona in the third match of the quarter-final series of the Euroleague.

The result in the series is 1:1, Olympiacos won in the first match in Barcelona, ​​and then "Blaugrana" managed to equalize. There were two matches in which the focus was on defensive tasks, so no team managed to transfer 77 points in those matches. Something similar is expected tonight in the "Hall of Peace and Friendship".

"I believe that we will have great support from the fans. Everyone talks about how important home field advantage is, and we fought for it during the regular season. Unfortunately, we did not succeed then, but with the triumph in Barcelona we secured two games in our hall. We are focused on the upcoming match, we have a plan and we are following it," Olympiakos coach Jorgos Barcokas said in the announcement of the match.

Barcokas points out that he will count on Kostas Papanikolaou, who missed the games in Barcelona.

"Kostas has joined the team's training. He won't have a lot of minutes, he won't be on the field for 30 minutes, but I think he will be able to help us," explained the coach of Olympiakos.

Maccabi and Panathinaikos (19) play tonight, and Fenerbahce - Monaco (19:45) and Baskonia - Real Madrid (20:30) meet tomorrow.
