Olimpia Milano Team News
Olimpia Milano’s players had won five in a row in all competitions before the start of the Italian Cup final tournament the previous week. There, they were already defeated by Brescia 72-75 in the quarter-finals and disappointed their fans again. Brescia later triumphed in this tournament, and the Olimpia basketball players were left without their first trophy of the season.
As far as the EuroLeague is concerned, they occupy the 15th position with a win-loss record of 8-15. Olimpia players did not play their match in the last round because the match against Fenerbahce was postponed due to the devastating earthquakes in Turkey.
Coach Ettore Messina’s team won two games in the previous two games in this competition. They defeated Baskonia 89-83 and Crvena Zvezda 74-68, which can be a big boost in the upcoming matches. They have little chance of making the playoffs, but this roster is very experienced and dangerous, so they won’t give up as long as they have a mathematical chance.
Panathinaikos Team News
Panathinaikos basketball players will travel to Milan without coach Dejan Radonjic, whose contract was terminated by mutual agreement on Monday. Another heavy defeat against fierce rivals Olympiacos 65-81 in the semi-finals of the Greek Cup was decisive for such a decision of the team’s management. It is still unknown who will be the new coach of PAO, and it is speculated that it could be Gianmarco Pozzecco, the current coach of Italy.
This season’s results of Panathinaikos are below all expectations. In the Euroleague, they experienced three consecutive defeats, and with a win-loss ratio of 8-16, they are in 16th place. The failure against Valencia 91-92 in the last round in Athens was especially painful when Chris Jones silenced OAKA Arena with a three-pointer in the last seconds.
The individual quality of this team is much higher than the results show. This team recently signed Matt Thomas, a first-class shooter, and Dimitris Agravanis, a versatile power forward. Whether the new coach will record better results with this team remains to be seen.
Olimpia Milano vs Panathinaikos H2H
In the first match of the season between these two teams, Panathinaikos won 90-77 after overtime.
Olimpia Milano vs Panathinaikos Prediction
We think that Olimpia Milano will triumph in this match. Defensively, they are a much more responsible team than Panathinaikos and we believe that the atmosphere in this Italian club is much better than in the Greek team. We expect Olimpija to register its third consecutive victory in this competition.
