While settling in for this EuroLeague matchup, we're looking at an interesting little number between Olimpia Milano and Partizan, both teams battling it out from the bottom of the standings. Let's dive into the specifics, shall we?
Starting with Partizan, they have Carlik Jones and Tyrique Jones who are keeping the stats sheet rather busy with their 12.7 and 10.7 points per game respectively, last month. There's a good deal of hustle from Gabriel Lundberg too; the lad managed to scrape together 8.9 points per game, again in the last month.
Now let's turn our attention to Olimpia Milano. I know a thing or two about basketball and Nikola Mirotic is doing a stand-up job with an impressive 18.6 points per game last month, joined by the ever-persistent Zach LeDay accounting for 15.6 points himself. Even Nenad Dimitrijevic, though not a high scorer, is clocking consistent numbers with 10.6 points last month.
Historically, the clashes between these two have been tightly contested. Our last rendezvous was graced with a nail-biter with Olimpia Milano coming out on top with only a 2-point margin.
Looking back at recent battle scars, Olimpia Milano's morale might be a bit battered due to recent losses. You might want to note that they are 3-6 this regular season. However, don't let Partizan's gleeful demeanor fool you; they are also struggling, reaching only 2 wins in 9 regular season games.
So, you ask me who's going to win this showdown? Well, my crystal ball predicts that we'll see Partizan's home court advantage shine through narrowly. But don't let that charming Italian accent from Olimpia Milano fool you, they're going to put up a ferocious fight.
