Another chapter in the budding rivalry between Tau Ceramica and Olympiacos Piraeus will take place on Wednesday in Vitoria, Spain, when the two sides clash in a big Group A encounter. The two teams are currently tied for third place in the group with 4-3 records and know that a loss will make it quite difficult to climb back to one of the top spots as teams jockey for position ahead of the Top 16. This game promises to be a real thriller, pitting the league’s top scoring team – Olympiacos with 91.3 points per game – against the no. 3 scoring side – Tau with 86.6 ppg. The game will be the teams’ sixth meeting in the last two seasons – including a Tau sweep in last season’s Quarterfinal Playofss – and their 11th since 2000. Tau has held the upper hand, winning eight so far, including all five at home. But Olympiacos won their last meeting on opening night this season, 95-90, as Arvydas Macijauskas and Marc Jackson scored 21 points apiece. Macijauskas is familiar with the rims at the Fernando Buesa Arena, having played two seasons with Tau, helping the team to make it to the 2005 Euroleague final. Tau has been in a rough spot lately, losing its last two Euroleague games, including a home defeat to CSKA that snapped the club’s 30-game home-court winning run. On the other hand, the Reds are winless away from home this season and have lost six straight Euroleague games on the road.
