Olimpia Milano Team News
Olimpia Milano ended a streak of five consecutive defeats in the Euroleague. Ettore Messina’s team beat Baskonia by 89:83. Shabazz Napier made his debut and Johannes Voigtmann played the best game of the season. Although they are out of the race for the Euroleague quarterfinals, they will try to win as many games as possible until the end.
Milano’s primary goal now will be to win the Italian Cup and Serie A. Their main rival will be Virtus Bologna in both competitions. Coach Messina will use games in the Euroleague to raise their form in order to be ready for the battle for trophies on both fronts. Shavon Shields and Kevin Pangos should return at the end of February, which will significantly improve their quality. Defensively, Milano looks very good, but their offense is more than problematic.
If Milano repeats the edition like against Baskonia, they can definitely beat Red Star. Brandon Davies and Kyle Hines have an advantage in the paint, but for a good result it will be necessary to hit more shots from distance than opponent.
Red Star Team News
Red Star seemed to be on the right track after a convincing win against Monaco three weeks ago. After that, they lost a big advantage in Kaunas, and then they were beaten in the “Eternal Derby” by Partizan. Third defeat in a row was experienced in Bologna, where Red Star played perhaps the weakest game of the season.
Red Star has a lot of problems in offense. Apart from Luca Vildoza and Nemanja Nedovic, no one manages to contribute. Filip Petrusev played fantastically in December, but his performance is below the expected level in the last few games. Despite all that, their defense was also very weak against Virtus, especially in the first quarter when they allowed 30 points. Head coach Dusko Ivanovic also spoke about this, citing the very beginning of the game as the main reason for defeat.
In order to achieve a better result in Milano than in Bologna, Red Star must play much smarter at the beginning of the game. If they allow the opponent to go to a double-digit lead, comeback will be an almost impossible mission.

Olimpia Milano vs Red Star Prediction
Red Star left a better impression than Milano this season in the Euroleague. This game is much more important for them because they can still qualify for the quarterfinals. 1,000 fans from Serbia traveled to Italy, which means that visitors will also have great support from the stands. At worst, we expect them not to lose by more than one possession.
