Cypriot basketball teams face crucial away games in FIBA Europe Cup

Cypriot basketball teams are undertaking three away fixtures this week as part of the FIBA Europe Cup. Petrolina AEK and Tria Eka AEL traveled for matches on Wednesday, November 11, against Fitness First Würzburg Baskets and Donar Groningen, respectively. Keravnos Strovolou is scheduled to play against BC Pärnu in Estonia on Thursday, November 12.

In Group E, Petrolina AEK faces Würzburg with both teams holding a 3-2 record. This match is critical for qualification prospects, as the group remains tightly contested behind leader Dziki Warszawa (4-1). AEK previously defeated Würzburg 73-65 in their first encounter at Kitio, but recently suffered an 81-64 loss to Iraklis. Meanwhile, in Group D, Keravnos Strovolou currently sits third with a 3-2 record, trailing King Szczecin and SLUC Nancy. Their match against BC Pärnu, who hold a 1-4 record, is vital for the team to maintain its momentum toward qualifying for the next stage of the tournament.
