Panathinaikos at Kavala
KAVALA, Greece (Interstat) — Kavala will host Panathinaikos on Sunday in a women’s professional basketball game, with the home team seeking its first win of the season and the visitors looking to build on a lopsided victory.
Panathinaikos enters with a 1-1 record. Its most recent result was a 91-52 home win over PAOK. Earlier this season, Panathinaikos fell 91-68 to Emlak at home. The visitors will aim to carry the momentum from that PAOK victory into the road matchup and move above .500.
Kavala is 0-1 after a 94-55 loss at Athinaikos. The home side will try to rebound in front of its own crowd and secure its first victory of the campaign. Kavala will face a Panathinaikos team that has shown the ability to score at a high level, though it has also been held in check once this season. The home team will need a complete effort to stay with the visitors.
This will be Panathinaikos’ first road game of its listed schedule after opening with two home contests. Kavala played its first game on the road and will now make its home debut in the listed schedule.
