Virtus Bologna Team News
The form of Virtus has been at a deficient level lately. They were defeated in five consecutive games in all competitions, and the failures in the domestic championship, where Napoli and Trieste defeated them, were especially painful.
Their bad results in the Euroleague are even longer compared to the domestic championship. They have been defeated in the last five games, that is, in seven of the previous eight. In this period, they only beat Alba.
Each of the last five defeats was by double digits, which is unacceptable for a team of experienced players. Some losses were unpleasant, so Anadolu Efes defeated them 67-86, Maccabi humiliated them 80-111, while they lost to Real Madrid 79-96.
In addition, there are some essential players on the injured list, so Milos Teodosic, Alessandro Pajola, Isaiah Cordinier, and Awudu Abass will miss the match on Thursday.
Olimpia Milano Team News
Olimpia’s basketball players also suffered several close defeats on both fronts but have been consolidating lately. First, they defeated Barcelona 84-76 in the Euroleague and then outclassed Pesaro 102-70 in the Italian championship. Therefore, they travel to Bologna with much greater confidence.
Although coach Ettore Messina has a handful of quality players and a very long rotation, injuries have significantly slowed down this team’s progress in the Euroleague. The experienced Italian strategist rarely has all the players healthy, so he and his assistants had to improvise constantly.
Even before visiting Virtus, the team’s health could have been better. Billy Baron, Johannes Voigtmann, Stefano Tonut, and Davide Alviti are questionable, while Paul Biligha will surely miss this clash.

Virtus Bologna vs Olimpia Milano Prediction
The rivalry between these two teams is enormous, so their duels are always tricky and full of charge, and both teams keep the defensive intensity at the upper limit for all 40 minutes. We expect we will not enjoy an effective clash. The average number of points scored in games between these two teams in the current competitive year is 143.2 points.
