Olympiacos Team News
Last week, Olympiacos ended a streak of two consecutive defeats in the Euroleague in a fantastic way. They demolished Panathinaikos in OAKA 95:71 and it is surely the favorite win for all fans in the season so far. Red and whites are at 10-6 in this competition and their goal is to finish inside top 4.
After 16 rounds played, Olympiacos stood out as the best offense in the Euroleague. Their offensive rating is 123.1 and that’s no surprise if you know that they recently scored 117 points against Virtus. Their best player Sasha Vezenkov didn’t play against Panathinaikos, but even without him, Georgios Bartzokas’ team was phenomenal. They simply have too many good solutions. Defensively, they are also very good and only three teams are better than them in terms of defensive rating.
Completely unexpectedly, Olympiacos lost to Red Star at home 90:86 two weeks ago. This will be an additional motivation for them not to be defeated twice in a row in front of their fans in the Euroleague.
Olimpia Milano Team News
Olimpia Milano achieved three consecutive wins in the Euroleague. In this way, they returned to the hunt for top 8 and a place in the quarterfinals of this competition. They defeated Red Star, Monaco and Valencia, but now they will have an extremely difficult task in Piraeus.
Although projected to be one of four best clubs in the Euroleague, Milano are only in 14th place. The main reason is absence of Shavon Shields and Kevin Pangos. Both were injured two months ago and without them their offense become dysfunctional. Although Milano have the best defensive rating in the entire competition with just 108.9 points conceded per 100 possessions, they are terrible offensively. They are by far the worst offense with an offensive rating of 102.1.
For any chance in Greece, Milano will have to shoot exceptionally well. The good thing for them is that Olympiacos is bad at defending three-point shots this season. Unless they are able to hit double-digit three-pointers with good percentages, their chances are non-existent.
Olympiacos vs Olimpia Milano H2H
23 times so far Olympiacos and Olimpia Milano played against each other in the Euroleague and H2H is 16-7 in favor of the Greek team. Olympiacos won four of their last five games, as well as their last three H2H matches in Piraeus.
Injuries and Suspensions
Sasha Vezenkov is questionable, while all other players are available for Olympiacos. Kevin Pangos, Luigi Datome and Shavon Shields won’t play for Olimpia Milano due to injuries.
Olympiacos vs Olimpia Milano Prediction
As previously noted, Olympiacos’ offense scores 20 more points than Olimpia Milano’s offense per 100 possessions. It’s just a huge difference. Milano’s defense is outstanding, but Olympiacos defense is also at too good a level for visitors to gain any advantage in that way.
