The 3rd place derby stands out in today's program of the Stoiximan.gr Basket League, with AEK hosting Aris. The team of Athens is in 3rd place in the standings with a record of 9-3 while Aris follows a position lower with 8-4.
AEK comes from three consecutive unsuccessful results with the fire concentrating on the team's coach, Zdovch, whose behavior often becomes aggressive towards the players. Williams suffers from gastroenteritis and his participation in the game will be judged at the last minute.
Mars, on the other hand, started the year sluggishly but slowly seems to find its footing and is constantly rising. Dimitris Priftis's team came from 7 consecutive victories before losing 95-94 in midweek in Turkey to Banvit in overtime. The carnage refereeing that Aris faced was the reason for this defeat but, usually, such moments bind the players and motivate them for a better continuation.
I am waiting for a warrior Aris who will sell his tomar very expensive against AEK.
