Preview: Koroivos Seeks Revenge Against League-Leading NE Megaridas

MEGARA, Greece (Interstat) — A quick rematch with playoff implications is set for Wednesday as Koroivos visits NE Megaridas in a Greek HEBA A2 league contest.

The teams just met this past Saturday, with host NE Megaridas escaping with an 88-83 victory. Wednesday’s game at Megara Indoor Hall offers Koroivos (15-14) an immediate chance for redemption and to improve its positioning for the postseason. NE Megaridas (21-8), sitting near the top of the league standings, aims to complete a regular-season series sweep on its home court.

The matchup features two of the league’s most dynamic scorers. Koroivos guard R.J. Glasper is coming off a 27-point, 5-assist performance in the loss and has been on a tear, averaging 25.2 points over his last five games. His scoring burst will be crucial for the visitors.

He will be countered by NE Megaridas forward Nic Pozoglou, a consistent force who posted 16 points and 7 rebounds in the first meeting. Pozoglou has been a standout all season, recording a double-double in two of his last five outings and providing versatile production.

The season series is split 1-1. Koroivos won handily, 92-76, when the teams met in January, but NE Megaridas evened the score four days ago. In that recent clash, Koroivos received strong support from Charilaos Paraskevopoulos (22 points, 8 rebounds) and Alexandros Kokorelis (10 points, 7 rebounds), while NE Megaridas saw key contributions from Aris Sotiriou (16 points) and Kostas Dendrinos (14 points, 5 assists).

Form favors the hosts. NE Megaridas has won five consecutive games and nine of its last ten. Koroivos has been inconsistent, alternating wins and losses over its past six contests.

Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. local time. A Koroivos victory would solidify its playoff credentials, while an NE Megaridas win would strengthen its hold on a top-tier league position.
