KOROIVOS, Greece (Interstat) — Koroivos will host Panerythraikos on Saturday at D.K.G Elis in Koroivos, Greece, in a matchup that pits a home team seeking momentum against a visitor holding a .500 record. Panerythraikos enters at 3-3, while Koroivos is 2-12.

Panerythraikos will be the visiting team in a game that could test its recent form. The visitors most recently beat Kronos Agiou Dimitriou 86-83. Earlier this season, Panerythraikos lost at NE Megaridas 105-81, lost to Sofadon 96-85, won at Chalkida 89-83, fell to Gavrio 86-85 and won at Papagou 111-92. Panerythraikos has scored at least 85 points in five of its six games and has posted two wins in which it reached 100 points or more, including a 111-point effort at Papagou. The team has also been tested in narrow games, with a one-point loss to Gavrio standing among its early setbacks. Panerythraikos has three wins and three losses, with its defeats coming by margins of 24, 11 and one point.

Koroivos, meanwhile, has struggled through much of its schedule. The home side most recently beat Denain 85-73, but it has dropped 12 of 14 games overall. Koroivos also has had close setbacks, including one-point losses at Amyntas and at Rouen, a three-point home loss to St. Chamond and a four-point loss at Poitiers. The team has won twice this season, with the Denain result and a home victory over Kronos Agiou Dimitriou. Koroivos will need a stronger defensive effort against Panerythraikos after allowing several high point totals during its difficult start. Koroivos’ losses have included margins of 18, 13, six and five points in addition to its one-point defeats.

E. Gilyard is the player to watch for Koroivos. Gilyard scored 24 points with five assists in a loss to Poitiers, finished with 13 points and six assists against Evreux, scored 21 at Rouen and added seven at Ada Blois. His scoring and playmaking will be central to Koroivos’ chances at home.

Panerythraikos will look to build on its most recent result and take advantage of a Koroivos side that has had difficulty stringing together wins.
