Greece – Ukraine. Prediction and announcement for EuroBasket match
The Greece-Ukraine meeting will be held in Milan on Tuesday, September 6th. The fight begins at 18:00 Kyiv time. The match will be broadcast live on Xsport TV channel.
Less than a day after the tough match against Italy, our national team will have to pass an even more difficult test in the current EuroBasket. Today the blue-yellows will face the Greek national team, which is seen by the vast majority of fans and experts as one of the main candidates for victory in the tournament.
The Greek team has a solid track record of performance in continental forums. Already in 1949 at the first European Championship for themselves, the Hellenes won a bronze medal, but the next success had to wait for a very long time. They came in the late 80’s, when Nikos Gallis’ star shone all over Europe. One of the continent’s best basketball players of his generation led Greece to the 1987 EuroBasket gold and silver medals at the tournament two years later. Greek fans had to wait for the next successes before the emergence of a new and very strong generation of players. And it was founded in the mid-2000s. Then the Greek national team with such masters as Dimitrios Diamantidis, Vassilis Spanoulis, Theodoras Papaloukas and others won EuroBasket 2005 and finished second in the next World Championship 2006 knocking out the USA team in the semifinals with LeBron James, Chris Paul, Duane Wade, Chris Bosh and other NBA stars are on the roster. This generation of players also brought bronze medals to their countries in EuroBasket 2009.
And now Greece has created a new team, serious and hungry for victories, which may be inferior to its predecessors in terms of overall skill level, but has a true megastar of world basketball in the person of Giannis Antetokounmpo. will be supported by a galaxy of talented artists.
The full roster of the Greek national team in the tournament is as follows:
advocates: Kostas Sloukas, Michalis Luntzis, Yannulis Larentzakis (all – Olympiakos), Nick Calathes (Fenerbahce, Turkey), Tyler Dorsey (Dallas Mavericks, NBA)
Striker: Giannis Mendeokunmpo, Thanasis Perakendeokunmpo (both Milwaukee Bucks, NBA), Dimitrios Agravanis (Promiteas), Kostas Perakendeokunmpo (Asvel, France), Giannis Papapetrou (Partizan, Serbia), Kostas Papapicolaou (Olympiacos )
Centre: Georgios Papayannis (Panathinaikos)
Giannis, whose talents and achievements are known to all basketball fans, as well as European stars Nick Calathes, Kostas Sloukas, Kostas Papanikolaou and Georgios Papayannis pose a real threat to the opponents. The first EuroBasket matches showed that Dimitrios Agravanis fit in very well and is the most important link of the team. And I would like to dwell separately on the person of the naturalized American Tyler Dorsey. The former Olympiakos player did so well last season that he was promoted to the NBA this summer and will now play for the Dallas Mavericks. In the Greek national team, Dorsey is one of the key players, second only to Giannis in his role in the team. The presence of three Antetokounbo brothers simultaneously in the composition is also noteworthy.
Greece started their current European Championship with a tough match against Croatia. After a very successful first half, the Greeks performed much worse in the second part of the game, but with the help of Giannis’ skill and his partners they finally did their job. The Greeks opened the tournament with a win – 89:85. The second match against Italy was also difficult. Again, a tense ending, and the key word in it was uttered by Tyler Dorsey, who hit the hardest and most important three-pointer into the clutch. Another victory for the wards of Dimitris Itoudis by four points – 85:81. In the third game against Great Britain, the Hellenes were obviously not nervous. Giannis never entered the court, but this did not prevent them from achieving a confident victory – 93:77.
At EuroBasket 2022, Greece’s most prolific player is quite logically Giannis Antetokounmpo. He averaged 26 points + 11 rebounds per game in his first two games against Croatia and Italy. Next up are Tyler Dorsey (18.3 points in three games) and Kostas Sloukas (11.3 points in three games).
Fans in Ukraine were waiting for today’s match long before the tournament started. It’s very interesting to see how our team will fare against one of the main contenders for the medal in general and a major NBA star in particular. Ainars Bagatskis’ team will definitely fail in the next meeting, but it was the same in the match against Italy yesterday. It will be tough, but the blue-and-yellow team in this tournament has not been disappointed yet.

PLEKHANOV: “There are also a few points I would like to point out”
Head coach of “Kharkov Falcons” Valery Plekhanov He summarized the team’s 2025 results and talked about the preparations for the continuation of the season:
“Summing up the results of the calendar year, I want to congratulate all our fans on the upcoming New Year and Merry Christmas, wish our favorite team peace and good victories! “Kharkov Falcons” are the first players of this Super League season, so second place at the moment is a good result.
There are a few points we would like to emphasize separately. First of all, seven players from last season’s active squad won the Premier League together, but five of them never played in the Super League. Therefore, the experience they gained in the first half of this season is almost priceless. Secondly, Kharkiv Falcons are one of the two champion teams that did not play a single match at home. It’s very difficult when you’re not playing for your fans, you’re training in one gym, and you’re playing in a different gym every time, even on home tours. In these conditions, 4 defeats in 13 matches is a good result.
One of the most negative moments of this year was not being able to participate in the last four of the Ukrainian Cup. Unfortunately, we were a little unlucky in the draw. After an emotionally difficult and physically exhausting match with Krivbass, we did not have enough strength for the next match against Kiev-Basket in the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, our performances in the cup are over, but now we will be able to focus all our efforts on the championship.
Our main problem now is injuries. We have five injured players, three of whom have serious injuries that require a long recovery period. We’re about to get off to a very tough start to the new calendar season because the Falcons will be playing basketball six weekends in a row, which means six road trips with no rest time. If we could count on all twelve players in the squad at the beginning of the season, there will no longer be such a rotation. Therefore, all the responsibility and burden will fall on the players in the rankings. I hope they get over their injuries in the new year, recover from their injuries as soon as possible, return to work and help their beloved club properly represent Kharkiv in the Super League.
Despite the holidays, we have training scheduled almost seven days a week. “I really hope that by January 10 we will be a combat-ready team that can solve serious problems.”
