LiontipsOlympiacos vs Bayern. Euroleague match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
After the defeat to Crvena Zvezda, Olympiacos no longer makes mistakes. Georgis Bartzokas's team has gone on an 8-game winning streak. They managed to win four games in the Euroleague. In their last matches, the team from Piraeus defeated Milan's Olimpia (84:83) and Zalgiris (92:85).
Olympiacos now have 13 victories. Monaco has the same number of victories, but the Greeks are inferior to this opponent on additional indicators. Because of this, Bartzokas's team occupies the second line in the tournament table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out: Moses Wright, Naz Mitrou-Long, Keenan Evans.
Interesting facts for betting
Olympiacos is the best home team in the Euroleague. This season, the Greeks have won 8 out of 9 matches on their home court. Their only failure was in the confrontation with Paris.
Estimated line-up: Fall-Walcup, Fournier-Papanicolaou, Vezenkov.
Current form
Bayern have been playing with varying success lately, alternating victories with defeats. At the end of December, they managed to beat Milan's Olimpia (79:78), but after that the Germans lost to Panathinaikos (69:80) and Real Madrid (76:88).
Despite all the difficulties, the team from Munich is still within the playoff zone. Gordon Herbert's charges are in seventh place. They have won 11 matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Will not play: Vladimir Lucic.
Interesting facts for betting
Bayern regularly suffer defeats in Piraeus. On the road, the Germans have lost their last seven matches to the Greeks. It will be difficult for them to count on success now.

Trends

In the last three head-to-head meetings, no more than 40 points were scored in the opening quarter.
1.77Tip and bets
The Germans are not playing well away from home. They recently lost to Monaco and Real Madrid with a big difference in score. This time the team will face another difficult opponent, to whom it regularly loses.
It is unlikely that Bayern will be able to hold out in Piraeus. Given Olympiacos' recent results, we believe that Bartzokas' men will have no problems.
Our prediction is Olympiacos with a handicap of (-8.5) points for 1.75
Bet on total
In away matches, Herbert's charges do not perform as brightly as at home. For example, in the confrontation with Real, they scored 76 points. In this regard, we assume that the match will be low-scoring.
Betting Tip - total under 169.5 points for 1.72
Bet on statistics
Vezenkov has once again become the leader of Olympiacos and is showing excellent play. In 3 of the last 4 matches he has not scored less than 22 points. We expect the Bulgarian to perform at his level.
Betting Tip - Alexander Vezenkov: total over 21.5 points for 1.78
