Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroLeague match.
In their last EuroLeague outing, Olimpia Milano secured a crucial victory over Virtus Bologna (99:90), only to suffer a heavy defeat to Trento (91:57) a few days later. The hosts will certainly want to redeem themselves in front of their fans, but they face one of the toughest opponents in the upcoming round—Real Madrid.
Olimpia Milano
Olimpia Milano have established themselves as a very challenging opponent. They play well offensively, allowing them to compete against any opponent. The players average 82.1 points per game. However, their defence is much weaker, with opponents averaging 87.8 points against them per match.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid have been struggling. They have won only three of their first seven EuroLeague games. As always, Real Madrid are strong in attack, scoring 83.7 points per game, but much more is expected from them. They have had a terrible time in away games this season: Real Madrid have not won any of their four matches on the road, conceding 76 points or more in the last three.
Olimpia Milano vs Real Madrid Prediction
It's worth noting that all of Real Madrid's previous opponents have tried to keep the game tight, but it's unlikely the Italians will succeed in doing the same. Therefore, we personally expect an open game with a high scoring tally. We suggest betting on just that.
