IALYSOS, Greece (Interstat) — The Batumi-RSU team visits Iverioni on Friday, May 1, 2026, in a Georgian Super Liga matchup at Olympic Palace, with both teams seeking momentum after a four-game head-to-head series that has seesawed back and forth.

Batumi-RSU (17-7) enters the game coming off a 110-87 road win against Iverioni on Wednesday, April 29, its third victory in the last four meetings. Iverioni (10-13) dropped that contest but won the previous matchup, 95-94 at Batumi-RSU on April 26, and will look to defend home court in the neutral-site game in Greece.

Guard Giorgi Ochkhikidze has been the engine for Batumi-RSU. In the April 29 win, he played 32 minutes and recorded 34 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Over his past six games, Ochkhikidze has averaged 18.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists, including a 21-assist performance against Iverioni on April 4. His ability to create offense and control tempo will be critical against an Iverioni squad that has struggled with consistency.

Iverioni counter with guard Brandon Miller, who exploded for 40 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in the April 26 win over Batumi-RSU, playing 38 minutes. However, Miller has been inconsistent: he followed that performance with a 16-point, 9-assist outing in the loss April 29, and scored just 7 points in a loss April 24. When Miller is on, Iverioni can hang with the league’s top teams; when he struggles, the offense stagnates.

The recent head-to-head history shows a rivalry marked by blowouts and nail-biters. Batumi-RSU won 115-68 on April 4, and 90-79 on April 24, while Iverioni took the 95-94 thriller. In the most recent April 29 meeting, Batumi-RSU also got strong contributions from forward Miryne Thomas (22 points, 13 rebounds) and center Carson Basham (10 points, 4 blocks). Iverioni’s supporting cast — Isaiah Addo-Ankrah (17 points April 29) and Michael Ugrekhelidze (16 points) — must step up to match Batumi-RSU’s depth.

Batumi-RSU has won four of its last five games overall, with the only loss coming by one point to Iverioni. Iverioni has split its last four, beating Kavkasia 82-72 on April 18 but losing to Batumi-RSU twice in that span.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. local time. The game will be played at Olympic Palace, which has a capacity of about 2,500. Both teams are vying for playoff positioning in the Super Liga standings.
