After a brief but necessary 48-hour break following their qualification to the FIBA Europe Cup Finals, PAOK returned to practice and now enters a crucial and demanding stretch of games in both Greece and Europe.
While the European finals and upcoming league fixtures are on the horizon, the immediate focus is on Wednesday’s game (April 15, 18:00) against Aris Betsson at PAOK Sports Arena.
This matchup carries significant importance in the standings, as it will largely determine the position of both teams heading into the Playoffs, in addition to the traditional rivalry that always defines these encounters.
Today’s schedule began with video analysis of the opponent and continued with a team practice focused on tactics, involving all players except the injured Nikos Chougaz.
PAOK head coach Pantelis Boutskos, speaking about the upcoming game against Aris Betsson, said:
“We continue our very demanding schedule with a game of special importance, both in terms of prestige and for the position that will serve as our starting point in the Playoff race. We want to show up with the highest level of energy and concentration, and with the push from our fans, to achieve an important victory and strengthen the momentum we have built in both Greece and Europe.”
