One chasing the equalizer and the other chasing the second step to winning the Volley League title. PAOK and Olympiacos will cross swords again tonight (9.30 p.m., ERT3, LIVE by Sportish), looking for the most favorable result for them in a fight without predictions.
The second final tonight at 21:30 (ERT3, LIVE by Sportish) between PAOK and Olympiacos increases interest in the Volley League championship. The red and white lead 1-0 and want to combine their victories. On the other hand, Dikephalos is chasing the equalizer to avoid going to Rentis with his back against the wall.
PAOK coach Josko Milenkoski said of the second final: “It’s definitely one of the most important games this season. The fight for the title continues. We lost our first game in a three-month unbeaten streak, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything because every game has its own story.
We’re playing against one of the best teams in recent years, with top-class players in their squad who have won many trophies. I think we’re on the same level. We have to stay calm and fully focused in the important moments of the game. I believe that with the dynamic support of our fans, we can perform at a high level and get a good result“.
Olympiacos coach Alberto Giuliani said: “It’s the second game of the playoff finals, it’s very important, the second game. From the start, let’s do our best, our 100%, to put pressure on PAOK. It won’t be easy to win. What is certain, however, is that we will fight for it“.
This is the 81st game between the two teams since 1998, when the new scoring system was introduced. Olympiacos leads with 61-19 wins.
