POITIERS, France (Interstat) — Koroivos will visit Poitiers on Friday at Les Arenes in a matchup between teams separated in the standings. Poitiers enters at 5-2, while Koroivos is 1-10. The home side has won four of its past five games, including a 79-74 victory at Caen in its most recent outing. Poitiers also has posted wins over Fos-sur-Mer, Chalons-Reims and Nantes during that stretch, with its lone recent setback coming at Blois. Koroivos has dropped its past five games and 10 of 11 overall. Its most recent result was a 96-91 loss to Peira Machites. The visiting side also has recent losses to Evreux, Amyntas BC, Rouen, Panionios and Blois. Koroivos’s schedule has also included a win over Kronos Agiou Dimitriou and a one-point loss to Amyntas BC. Koroivos has scored at least 80 points in seven games this season and will look to E. Gilyard for production. Gilyard had 13 points and six assists in his latest game, 21 points and one assist before that, and seven points with four assists in the prior contest. He has carried a heavy playmaking role for a Koroivos team seeking consistency on both ends. Poitiers will counter with Isaac Guedegbe, who has been among the team’s most productive players. Guedegbe scored 18 points with three assists in the win at Caen, following an 11-point, six-assist effort at Fos-sur-Mer and a seven-point, four-assist showing against Chalons-Reims. He also had two points, two rebounds and two assists in a win over Nantes earlier in the schedule and has given Poitiers scoring and distribution from the backcourt. Poitiers’ recent form has been powered by balanced contributions. In the win at Caen, Ivan Ramljak added 10 points, six rebounds, one assist and three blocks, while Noel Brown had seven points and six rebounds. Poitiers opened the season with a one-point win at Bordeaux and has reached 90 points in three games. That support has helped Poitiers build momentum at home, where it will try to protect its home-court advantage. Koroivos has allowed 95 or more points in five games this season and will try to improve defensively. Poitiers will aim to use its home court and depth to control tempo, while Koroivos will rely on Gilyard. Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Poitiers 94, Koroivos 89. Interstat’s ELO system gives Poitiers a 94.3 percent probability to win. Poitiers is installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -9, and the over/under is 169.5.
