ASVEL vs Olimpia Milano prediction, H2H & betting tips – January 2, 2025
ASVEL
Olimpia Milano
On January 2, ASVEL will host Olimpia Milano in a EuroLeague showdown. Here’s an analysis and prediction: can the hosts secure a victory?
ASVEL
The French team has played 18 games in the EuroLeague regular season, winning 8 and currently sitting in 15th place. Despite the modest standing, the competition is tight, with just one win separating ASVEL from the top 10.
In their last match, ASVEL lost 69-83 on the road to Virtus Bologna, ending a three-game winning streak. Domestically, they are performing well, sitting second in the French league with 10 wins from 13 games, just one victory behind the leader with a game in hand. Reaching the EuroLeague top 10 will be challenging, but ASVEL must fight to the end.
Olimpia Milano
Olimpia Milano is also struggling to find consistency. The Italian club has won 9 of its 18 EuroLeague games, placing them in 12th, tied on points with several teams but behind due to tiebreakers.
Their most recent game was a narrow 83-84 home loss to Olympiacos, marking their third consecutive defeat. Milano is also underwhelming in the Italian league, sitting seventh with 8 wins in 13 games. While the EuroLeague playoffs are within reach, the team needs to halt its losing streak quickly.
