A decisive battle for many different goals in Group A is scheduled in the Pireaus, Greece, where Olympiacos hosts Bennet Cantu on Thursday. Olympiacos (4-4) will qualify to the Top 16 if it wins and both Caja Laboral (5-3) and Fenerbahce Ulker (5-3) qualify to the next round. 

Cantu will become the Group A champion if it wins its two remaining games. The guests have already sealed its ticket to the Top 16 - and did it in spectacular fashion with a nine-meter, game-winning bomb by Gianluca Basile in Bilbao last week. Despite averaging just 73.4 points per night, Cantu ranks sixth in assists (15.9 apg.). Olympiacos is first in foul drawns at 194. Expect a intense, decisive battle.

INJURIES

Other than long-time injured Marko Scekic, Cantu has a full team ready to go in Athens. Lazaros Papadopoulos returned to action last week. Olympiacos, however, has 15 players registered, so three of them will be discarded.

THE TAKE

Cantu will need to stop Olympiacos superstar Vassilis Spanoulis if it wants to improve its chances to win the game, as his driving skills and high basketball IQ are essential to the Reds. Nicolas Mazzarino and especially Basile, in very good shape recently, will be ready to stop him. 

Olympiacos has to control the game tempo and be aggressive against tall playmaker Andrea Cinciarini. Dimitrios Katsivelis and Kalin Lucas will see playing time against him and recently signed point guard Nico Gianella. An intriguing matchup is set at small forward, as up-and-coming talent Kostas Papanikolaou faces a tough test against Vladimir Micov. 

Olympiacos will try to win the battle in the paint with Pero Antic, Papadopoulos and Andreas Glyniadakis ready to deliver. Papadopoulos faces another well-rounded veteran like Denis Marconato, but Cantu also relies on Giorgi Shermadini and Maarten Leunen to make the difference under the rims.
