Olympiacos Team News
Last week, Olympiacos’ streak of positive results ended in an unusual way. They were leading against Asvel in Vileurbanne by +21 points but were defeated 75-77 in a dramatic ending. They lost the last quarter 27-14.
Despite the defeat, the current part of Olympiacos’ Euroleague season must be considered a success. They play very well on both sides of the court, especially in attack. Georgios Bartzokas’ team is the most efficient team of the entire competition and scores 86.4 points per game.
Recently, they have been playing impressively in front of home fans. They have not been defeated in their hall for four consecutive games, and they were particularly dominant in the last two. First, they demolished Virtus 117-71, and then routinely defeated Fenerbahce 94-67.
Crvena zvezda Team News
In the last round of the Euroleague, the series of positive results of Crvena zvezda ended. After 10 consecutive victories in all competitions, Olimpia Milano defeated the Red and Whites in Belgrade 71-67. It is the first failure of the Belgrade team since Dusko Ivanovic was appointed as the new coach.
The Montenegrin strategist significantly modified Crvena zvezda’s playing style in a short time. The Serbian team became one of the best defensive teams in the Euroleague. They allow an average of 76.6 points to opponents, and only two teams are better than them in this statistical parameter in the entire competition.
In the meantime, sound reinforcement arrived in Belgrade. Facundo Campazzo, one of the best playmakers in the Euroleague in the last 10 years, became a new basketball player in this club. There is no doubt that his contribution will be huge both in attack and defense, and there is a chance that he will make his debut as early as Thursday against Olympiacos.

Olympiacos vs. Crvena zvezda Prediction
