LiontipsMaccabi Tel Aviv vs. Olimpia Milan. Euroleague match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
The Israeli club is going through hard times. After a series of disastrous matches, the team dropped to the last but one place in the Euroleague standings, which puts a lot of pressure on the players and coaching staff. The recent victory over Zalgiris (95:78) was a breath of fresh air for the team, but not for long. In the next round, Maccabi suffered a big defeat to Partizan (75:98).
Oded Kattash's men are struggling against strong opponents. Problems in defense and an unstable attack prevent the Israeli club from showing decent results. The team is trying to find its optimal game, but so far this has not happened. The upcoming match against Olimpia Milan will be an important test for Maccabi, especially given their position and motivation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hasel Rivero will not be able to help his team due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last five matches, the Israeli club has won only one victory.
Tentative cast: Hord - Randolph, Sorkin - Blatt, Yokubaitis.
Current form
The Italian team is also going through a period that is not the most stable. The team is outside the top ten and is trying to get back into the fight for high positions. The latest results are not encouraging, because three defeats in a row have seriously affected the team's mood.
However, in the recent match against ASVEL (75:66), Olimpia managed to gain an important victory. This success became a salvation for the club, which almost found itself in a deep crisis. Key players such as Nikola Mirotic and Zach LeDay showed their best side. Ettore Messina's charges leave with a clear goal - to build on their success and continue their journey to the top ten.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fabien Causeur and Joshua Nebo will not play in the next match due to injuries.
