Monaco Team News
Monaco’s basketball players have been playing with a lot of swings lately. In the last five meetings, they recorded three defeats, which is an indication of a small crisis. They won the last two games harder than expected, while they lost the last two away games.
In the last round, they failed in Belgrade. Partizan defeated them 80-100, and the main reason for the heavy defeat was the desperate play of Monaco’s players in the last quarter, in which they lost 12-31. The defensive game was especially bad in the last 10 minutes.
Mike James, the team’s best individual, has been far from an optimal form in the last few games. He makes irrational decisions in attack and his shot percentage is very bad. On the other hand, Elie Okobo has been playing very well lately and that should please the team’s coaching staff.
Olympiacos Team News
After two unexpected defeats against Asvel and Crvena Zvezda, the Olympiacos players returned to the winning track. First, in the Athens derby, they defeated fierce rival Panathinaikos on the away court with a score of 95-71. This triumph gains additional significance if you consider that the injured Sasha Vezenkov, their best player, did not play in this match.
Then in the last round in front of their fans, they easily defeated Olimpia Milano 82-66. Vezenkov returned to the roster but did not play the full minutes, and Alec Peters, Moustapha Fall, and Kostas Sloukas are the most deserving of this victory.
Olympiacos plays equally well at home and away this season and that is one of the main virtues of this team. In addition, they score an average of 86.6 points per game and are the most efficient team in the Euroleague standings so far. They play quite fast, they like to attack the opponent early in the possession and before their defense is set, so they are able to score a lot of easy baskets.
Monaco vs Olympiacos H2H
In the first part of the season, Monaco won in Piraeus 81-76. The most deserving of the victory was Mike James and Elie Okobo who scored 43 points combined.
Monaco vs Olympiacos Prediction
Both teams have pronounced attacking qualities and we believe that they will show them once again on Tuesday. We expect a fast, dynamic, and efficient match and believe that the bookmakers have set a low margin for the total number of points.
