The match between Panionios and Kymi may be the first time of the BasketLeague but it is of paramount importance as the two Gladiators are among the candidates for relegation to Axminx and eventual win of the guests will count as double. Panionios experienced another summer of riots with potential investors coming and going, leaving Alevroyannis to leave until he returns again, Skourtopoulos taking over as a coach the team building, making transfers and then leaving and as a result of all the above rosters appears to be particularly weakened, particularly with regard to the Greek element. The confrontation against the PAKO for the cup can not be considered a safe conclusion as the difference in capacity between the two teams is very high. Kymi, on the other hand, continued on the same pattern as last year with confidence in the face of talented coach Kastritsi, with administrative confidence and the qualification in the next phase of the cup after the great double in Rethymno to show that something good is being created in Evia. It is definitely going to be a very tough match as both teams want the victory but I think that Kimi is one step ahead and can go with the double from New Smyrna. Win the score with more than 2 points.
