As a reminder, Olympiacos leads 2-0 in the final series against the “Greens” and will have the opportunity to “sweep” their major rivals from Athens tonight. On the day of the game, the red-and-whites from Piraeus received the fine for the behavior of their fans at the “Peace and Friendship” arena during the second game of the Greek league finals.
Recently, sharp criticisms towards the referees were voiced by Dimitris Giannakopoulos and Ergin Ataman, which fully ignited the tensions.
The Turkish coach, after the first game played at the OAKA arena, demanded that foreign referees officiate the finals, for which he was duly punished. The red and whites can win their 15th domestic championship tonight.
