My Prediction
Olimpia Milano by 3Bayern Munich, globetrotting in from Germany, will be visiting Olimpia Milano on their home turf. Munich is sitting pretty at #5 in the Euroleague, while Milano, though trailing, is not too far behind at #10.
For the visitors, the key players to watch would certainly be Carsen Edwards, who's been raining down a storm with his 20.4 points average this season, followed closely by Devon Booker, who has been putting in solid performances with a 15.3 season points average. And let's not forget Andreas Obst, who's been on a personal quest to improve his numbers.
Over to Milano, who will be banking heavily on Nikola Mirotic and his stellar 18.6 points average per game this season, while Zach LeDay is not to be discounted, with his 16.1 points per game. Interestingly, Nico Mannion has been consistently adding 10 points per game, providing a steady input to the scoreboard.
Looking back at history, there's been a bit of a tug-of-war between these teams, with Bayern winning one and Olimpia the other. Still, the most recent face-off ended in favor of Milano.
The current form of teams also tells an intriguing tale. Bayern Munich, though having a winning streak, has floundered in their last game, while Milano, despite a rough hit in their latest game, did manage a win against Barcelona.
Bringing all this together, with Olimpia's upper-hand based on the historical and recent pattern, despite Bayern's better positioning and player stats, it's poised to be an interesting contest.
