My Prediction
Olympiacos by 5Looking at this EuroLeague matchup between Monaco Basket and Olympiacos, it's clear to me that this is going to be a nail-biter, folks, unless you've already chewed your nails off! Monaco Basket's key players include Mike James, who has been drawing fancy numbers on the scoreboard with an average of 20.2 points per game last month. Then there's Elie Okobo, not too far behind with 15.6 points per game. Meanwhile, Olympiacos flaunts players like Sasha Vezenkov, a scoring wonder doing 18.2 points a game, and Evan Fournier, whose shots have been dipping the net consistently.
If we scroll down the history lane, these two teams have always been close competitors. But Olympiacos has a slight edge, taking 2 out of the last 3 games from Monaco Basket. Regular season records are partial to Olympiacos too, boasting 22 wins over Monaco's 19. Recent games show a mixed bag of fortunes for both, but again, Olympiacos seems to be in better shape.
Their standing position? Olympiacos is at the #1 spot in EuroLeague, while Monaco Basket is trailing behind at #4. Now, don't get me wrong, folks. Despite being the underdog, Monaco Basket is a rugged team. They would not go down without giving Olympiacos a run for their money!
And yet, if I were a betting man — which I'm not, because my last bet was on Betamax over VHS a couple decades ago — I'd put my money on Olympiacos emerging victorious.
