Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroLeague match.
In their last game, two players from Milano got into a scuffle during a timeout. Has Ettore Messina managed to restore harmony among the players and set a winning tone for his team? We'll find out in their upcoming match against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Olimpia Milano
Despite the locker room tensions, there's noticeable progress in the Italian side's offence. Milano rank among the top five highest-scoring teams in the EuroLeague, averaging 84.9 points per game, with their leader Nikola Mirotić posting 17.3 points and 7.5 rebounds. However, defensive issues persist, as even ALBA Berlin managed to score 105 against them last week.
Maccabi Tel Aviv
In their last outing, the Israeli team put up a commendable fight against Olympiacos, narrowly losing in the final moments (91:94). Jaylen Hoard was particularly impressive, scoring 20 points. On average, Maccabi score around 82 points per game. Meanwhile, Oded Kattash struggles to organise effective defensive cooperation, allowing even less formidable opponents like Virtus Bologna or Partizan to score 80 points or more.
Olimpia Milano vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction
Both teams lack consistency, so we wouldn't recommend trying to pick a winner for this encounter. We believe wagering on the total points is a much better option, as both teams heavily emphasise their offensive play.
