Olimpia Milano Team News
After the impressive results of the previous few seasons, many expected that Olimpia’s players would continue with good performances in the current competitive year. But their form is far from optimal and they are the biggest disappointment in the Euroleague so far.
Injuries to key players, Shavon Shields and Kevin Pangos, have slowed this team down a lot, but they still have a strong and very experienced roster. However, the quality of their attack is below the average for the whole season, they are the most ineffective team in the entire competition. They have been scoring only 69.1 points per match, which is unacceptable by Euroleague standards.
However, Olimpia players play an aggressive and disciplined defense. Believe it or not, they allow opponents to score the fewest points on average, 74.5, and are considered the best defensive team in the Euroleague. If they keep their aggressiveness at the same level, they can hope for better results for the rest of the season.
Asvel Team News
On the other hand, Asvel basketball players have been in a serious result crisis lately. They did not win in the last five games in the Euroleague, and they began to record bad results in the French championship. They have been defeated there in the last two meetings, so their streak of negative results lasts six games.
Frankly, the quality of Asvel’s roster is low by the standards of this competition. Apart from Nando De Colo, they do not have top players, so they simply cannot cope with experienced and strong teams in this competition.
The team management tried to strengthen the roster for the continuation of the season. Dee Bost has signed a contract through the end of this competitive year. This experienced playmaker previously played in the Euroleague, and he comes to Asvel from Galatasaray. He is a good scorer and is capable of scoring several three-pointers per game, but it is questionable whether his arrival will be enough for Asvel to win more often in this European competition.

Olimpia Milano vs Asvel Prediction
