Olympiacos Team News

During the whole season, Olympiacos has big problems with injuries, but despite that, they play great basketball and it is especially difficult to beat them in Piraeus. They were without their two best players from last season, Sloukas and Vezenkov, but that did not stop them from being one of the best teams in the league this season. The score would be even better if they didn’t have huge problems with injuries from the very beginning. And for this match, Nigel Williams-Goss will not be in the lineup, and most likely Milutinov, while McKissic is expected to return. The role of Sasha Vezenkov was taken over by Alek Peters, who plays as if in a trance, and all the actions that went to Vezenkov last season, this year go to Peters, who is in great shooting form. In addition to Peters, Fall is also playing in excellent form, he has become one of Olympiacos’ key players who, in addition to dominating the racket in terms of jumps and racket protection, increasingly assists his teammates and drops balls for easy points. He even had a triple-double a few rounds ago in the match of the Greek championship. Fall dominated the last Euroleague match against Crvena zvezda, and was a key player in the home team’s victory.

Olympiacos was reinforced a few days ago from the ranks of Zalgiris, and Naz Mitrou-Long arrived, who also has Greek genes, and will certainly be a reinforcement for Olympiacos, first of all, to expand the rotation in quality. Olympiacos should play this match without Milutinov, and Fall will be the only option in the center position, and he is expected to play a lot of minutes. Because of this, we expect Olympiacos to play a lot at a slower pace without too much running, and to force more positional attacks where Fall makes a big difference.

Zalgiris Team News

The Zalgiris team seems to have subscribed to exciting endings this season, and they play most of their matches with one ball. In the last few games, luck was not on their side, while in the last match, they beat Bayern in front of their fans, with Keenan Evans’ points in the last seconds of the match. That fighting spirit and way of playing where they never give up has been adorning the Zalgiris team for many years. Zalgiris should never be written off even when they lose by a double-digit margin, there is always someone there to jump out and pull the team back. Mostly it is Keenan Evans who is one of the best players in “clutch time”. He scored 20 points against Efes, and even 15 of those points were scored in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter.

They enter this match without Mitrou-Long, who was reinforced by Olympiacos, so their rotation will be much shorter and a large number of minutes and spending, especially Evans, is expected. Zalgiris runs a lot this season and tries to speed up the game, which would be one of the key factors in the match against Olympiacos. Also, one of the most important factors in this match will be the three-point shot of the Zalgiris team. The “Greens” are the best shooting team in the league and have a team three-point shooting percentage of 43%.
