Match Predict – Handicap (+5.5) for Olympiacos
This season, Olympiacos beat Barcelona in the second game at home. Before that, they lost to Barcelona by a single point. Nothing is likely to change significantly now.
Total Points – Under 163
Barcelona is a team with an excellent defensive line. In the regular season, they conceded an average of 75 points. Olympiacos averaged about the same number of points. With that in mind, we don’t think we’ll have a productive encounter.
Away Side Points – Under 78.5
In 3 of their last 5 Euroleague games, Olympiacos has scored less than 78.5 points.

Barcelona was considered one of the main contenders to win the Euroleague. However, the Catalans did not make it to the final. One step from the final, they lost to Real Madrid (83-86). Jasikуvicius’ team had everything in their hands, but they fell in the third quarter. Barcelona lost by 15 points in that quarter. Of course, that had a big impact on the game.
Nikola Mirotic’s play in the last game was spectacular for Barca. In 32 minutes on the court, he scored 27 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. However, it wasn’t enough for Barcelona’s final victory.

Olympiacos were not considered favourites to face Anadolu Efes in their semi-final clash. In principle, it was as the bookmakers had predicted. Olympiacos put up a good fight against Anadolu Efes, but they couldn’t reach the final. Bartzoukas’s men lost by a score of 74-77.
Perhaps Olympiacos’ loss was influenced by the awful play of Kostas Sloukas and Sasha Vezenkov. The team’s leaders combined for only 16 points. That wasn’t the result anyone was expecting from them.
