Panathinaikos – Olympiacos: The big time to qualify for the Challenge Cup Finals
Panathinaikos welcomes Olympiakos in the second semi-final of the Challenge Cup (February 15, 7 p.m., Cosmote Sport 7HD, Match Center on Sportish). What do the two gladiators need to get the ticket to the final of the event?
A week after the first meeting, Panathinaikos and Olympiacos face off again against the background of qualifying for the Challenge Cup final (February 15, 7:00 p.m., Cosmote Sport 7HD, Match Center on Sportish).
After winning a few days ago at “Melina Merkouri”, the Greens have gained a qualification advantage over the Reds and Whites. A head start that they want to take advantage of in front of their audience, which sold out the available tickets very quickly.
But what do the two rivals need to reach the Challenge Cup final?
- Panathinaikos need a win by any score to succeed while they qualify, even if they lose 3-2 sets.
- Olympiacos will want a 3-0 or 3-1 win to take the second semi-final to the ‘golden set’ and claim their last hopes there. Overall, the red-whites in St. Thomas are bound to win four sets to have the last smile.
