17:00 Khimky - Maroussi -9.5/+9.5 1 1.90 Sportingbet 5/10
Khimky is in must win situation, both teams have 2-2 records and they are fighting for 2nd place in group. First match Khimky lost for 13 points with very bad shoting procent (for 2 points 39%, for 3 points 13%), Maroussi had almost 50% for 2 and 3 points. Today I expect different story. Khimky is full prepared on this match, they won against Enisey only for 6 points, but they were preparing on Maroussi. This game is game of the season for them. If they lost, they are out from Europe, if they will win under 13 points difference, they will have to win against Dynamo last round in away match. So the easiest way is: win tonight for 14 points difference or more. Maroussi played some good matches, they won Panellinios "away" (Panellinios didn't play in their own hall), other games they easilly lost, exception is Roanne is last round (Roanne was without any chance to promote). Last game in Russia Maroussi was destroyed, difference at the end was 21 for Dynamo. What to say about Khimky: They will be probably without Delfino, but that is very good thing for a team, he is not motivated to play for a team and without him, they playing better. They will be without Lampe, but his substitution is Varda, his problems is stupid fouls, in offence he is very good, he can score outside rocket. Other thing: Garbajosa is better prepared now, in first game he was after injury and he is out of form. Khimky plays very nice with good inside game, outside they have some very good 3 point shoters. In defence they are very agressive, in away games they have many problems because they get many fouls. At home they can play more rough. Khimky is motivated and they will going on 15 points difference.
