My Prediction
Olympiacos by 3As we pencil in the details for this second game showdown, we feast our eyes on Olympiacos, who come in as the top seed and hold the current edge in the series, leading Real Madrid BC 1-0. If we tumble down memory lane, Olympiacos have had an upper hand in the recent outings, chalking up three victories in the last five face-offs, including the game 1 playoff win.
Olympiacos brings some real fire-crackers to the party. Sasha Vezenkov continues his dazzling station as the top performer with 23 points per game in the playoffs, while Evan Fournier's 13 points per game aren't just there for window dressing.
For Real Madrid BC, Mario Hezonja leads the pack with an average of 13.3 points per game in the playoffs. Facundo Campazzo's stats aren't too shabby either with a neat 12.0 points per game. But they did take a stumble in game 1, and their recent form has been as wobbly as a three-legged race with a mixed bag of results - nothing inspiring to write home about, really.
Bottom line, both teams pack a punch harder than my mother-in-law on Black Friday, but Olympiacos seems to have that little extra swagger, especially given this season's commanding presence that propelled them to the top of the standings.
Ah heck, let's not beat around the bush. If this were a horse race, I'd bet on Olympiacos to jockey in for the win, in a close one though.
