Olimpia Milano - Olympiacos

Internationa - Euroleague, round 26

Olimpia Milano has three consecutive wins in the Euroleague, but that doesn’t mean that they are in particularly good form. They suffered a shocking defeat in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals by Brescia. On top of all that, Devon Hall got injured and that's another player that head coach Ettore Messina can't count on. Kevin Pangos and Shavon Shields are still out of action and it seems that everyone inside the club can't wait for this gloomy season to end. During next summer, there will certainly be changes in the roster, and these games in the Euroleague can help Messina to see who he can count on in the future.

Olympiacos are the best team in the Euroleague this season. According to the offensive rating, only Partizan are ahead of them in the entire competition. When it comes to the defensive rating, only Real Madrid plays a better defense than Olympiacos. How dominant Gergios Bartzokas' team, it’s best shown by the fact that they beat Barcelona, Fenerbahce, Real Madrid and Baskonia at road this season. Sasha Vezenkov will certainly be the regular season MVP, Thomas Walkup is the first favorite to be the defender of the year, and it won’t be a sensation if Georgios Bartzokas receives the award for the best coach again.

Simply, Olympiacos are too powerful. They have 14 consecutive wins in all competitions. They suffered their last defeat on January 10 against Monaco. This will be a clash between the best and one of the worst teams in the Euroleague. There is not a single segment in which Milano are better than Olympiacos. Therefore, it will be a sensation if the visitors don’t achieve another easy win in this competition.
