My Prediction
Olympiacos by 17Oh, what do we have here? Alba Berlin visiting Olympiacos, a veritable David and Goliath matchup if ever there was one. First things first, fans of Alba Berlin, I hope you're all ready for a night of extended prayer because you're going to need divine intervention if Alba is to come out on top of this one.
Alba Berlin's been like a sinking ship, their dismal regular season record of 3-13 says it all. The recent results haven't added any charm either. A string of losses with the only bright spot being a narrow victory over Virtus Bologna. On the flipside, the steady run of 10-6 for Olympiacos has been a little shaky lately, but folks, let's not get too fussy over minor issues.
Let's take a tour of Alba Berlin's roster. We have David McCormack, who seems to be trying to make magic happen with his 14.8 points per game from last month. Matteo Spagnolo and Gabriele Procida aren't far behind, putting up decent numbers lately. But really, who am I kidding here? We all know a single tree doesn't make a forest.
Now let's say hello to Olympiacos' homeboys, Sasha Vezenkov and Evan Fournier with their solid performances of 19.5 and 16.2 points per game, respectively. They're backed by Nikola Milutinov and Alec Peters who aren't just standing there looking pretty, they're doing their bit too.
Shedding light on the past, Olympiacos has been spanking Alba Berlin quite synonymously with their 101-87 and 94-67 victories. Adding to that, positioning speaks volumes, with Olympiacos sitting pretty at #3 in EuroLeague while Alba Berlin is stuck in the cellar at #18.
Honestly, the only contest here is just how much Olympiacos is going to win by.
