LiontipsOlympiacos vs. Olimpia Milan. Euroleague match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Olympiacos did not perform well last season, so the team was strengthened by several players in the off-season. First of all, I would like to mention Alexander Vezenkov, who was once the team leader. He did not succeed in the NBA, so Sasha returned to his native team.
Olympiacos lost the first match to Fenerbahce (72:82), but won the second. On their home court, the Greeks left no chance for Zalgiris (74:68).
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikola Milutinov and Kenan Evans will not play.
Interesting facts for betting
In the new season, Olympiacos pays a lot of attention to defense. For example, in the last three matches, Geogris Bartzokas team did not allow their opponents to score more than 75 points.
Estimated lineup : Wright – Wildosa, Walkup – Vezenkov, Fournier.
Current form
In the previous round, the Milanese won their first victory in the Euroleague of the current season. On their home court, the Italians left no chance for Paris. 21 points by Shevon Shields allowed Olimpia to win with a score of 79:74.
The Italians are approaching the match against Olympiacos in excellent shape, as they also beat Brescia (88:85) after that.
Disqualifications and injuries
Olimpia has no personnel losses.
Interesting facts for betting
In Piraeus, Olimpia have lost 6 of their last 7 matches. This time, the Italians probably shouldn't count on success.
Probable line-up : McCormack – Shields, Dimitrijevic – Mirotic, Ricci.
Trends
Bet 1st quarter. Olympiakos win
In 2 of the last 3 head-to-head meetings, the Greeks won the opening segment
1.58Bet 1st quarter: total under 40.5 points
In the last three head-to-head meetings between the teams, no more than 40 points were scored in the opening quarter.
1.78Tip and bets
Olympiacos is considered a slow team. The Greeks are careful under their own basket and do not give their opponents many opportunities. Most likely, Bartzokas team will choose a similar tactic in the next match. In this regard, we believe that the match will not be productive.
Our prediction is total under 154.5 points at 1.85
Bet on the outcome
The Italians are still too unconvincing and we don't see how they can count on success in Piraeus. Most likely, Olympiacos won't have any problems.
Prediction: Olympiacos with a handicap of (-7.5) points for 1.85
Bet on statistics
Since Olympiacos hasn't conceded many points in recent matches, we doubt that this will happen now. Most likely, the Milan team won't succeed in attack.
Forecast - "Olimpia": total under 77.5 points for 1.75
