Olimpia Milano Team News
Olimpia Milano are coming to the Italian Cup in a very good momentum. They won five games in a row in all competitions, which is the first time this season. In the domestic championship, they defeated Varese, Trieste and Trento, while in the Euroleague they were better than Red Star and Baskonia.
Shabazz Napier signing played a big role in all of that. Since Kevin Pangos and Shavon Shields got injured, Milano has been without solid ball handlers. This led to an extremely slow and ineffective offense, which is the main reason for bad results in the Euroleague. Napier changed that and Ettore Messina’s team now find it easier to get into open shooting positions. With Brandon Davies, Kyle Hines, Johannes Voigtmann and Nicolo Melli, Milano can create an advantage under the rim against any opponent.
There is no doubt that Milano are big favorites against Brescia in the quarterfinals. Considering that games will be played day after day, they will do everything they can not to spend too much energy already in the first clash. Winning the Italian Cup would be a great boost for them.
Brescia Team News
Brescia have been in terrible form lately. They lost six consecutive games in Serie A, which doesn’t give them the right to hope for a good result in Turin. On the other hand, they defeated Cluj and Bourg in the Eurocup and thus showed that they still possess a certain quality.
After the triumph against Cluj in the Eurocup, head coach Alessandro Magro said that his team is alive regardless of the bad results in 2023. Poor defense and ineffective offense are the main reason why they are currently in 12th place in Serie A. They have just one win more than Verona who are in the relegation zone. Amedeo Della Valle and Kenny Gabriel are two most important players along with John Petrucelli, who returned after a two-month absence. It was from his injury that everything started going badly for Brescia.
The good thing for Brescia is that absolutely no one expects them to surprise Milano. They can play without any pressure. If Della Valle and Petrucelli are at their best, it is possible that they will cause a lot of problems for an objectively better opponent.
Olimpia Milano vs Brescia H2H

Injuries and Suspensions
Shavon Shields, Kevin Pangos and Tommaso Baldasso won’t play for Olimpia Milano. Troy Caupain and Michael Cobbins are out at Brescia.
Olimpia Milano vs Brescia Prediction
It’s clear that it will be a big surprise if Olimpia Milano are defeated by Brescia. This doesn’t mean that we won’t see an interesting game. We expect the winner to be decided late in the fourth quarter. With Petrucelli return, Brescia has enough quality not to lose by double digits.
