In the EuroLeague on November 12, Olympiacos will face ASVEL, and I’ve prepared my prediction for this matchup. Will the Greek team deliver a dominant victory?
Olympiacos
The experienced Greek club has won five of its eight EuroLeague games this season, placing them fifth in the standings, with three other teams close behind due to tiebreakers. In their latest game, Olympiacos secured a crucial road victory over their rivals, Panathinaikos, with a 94-89 score. This marked their third consecutive EuroLeague win and fifth in a row across all competitions. In the Greek domestic league, they currently sit second, having won five out of six matches.
ASVEL
The French team continues to struggle in EuroLeague, winning only two of their eight games so far, leaving them among the lower-ranked teams. In their last game, ASVEL lost to Fenerbahce at home, 73-77, with the decisive blow coming in the final quarter, where they were outscored by five points. ASVEL is performing reasonably well in the French league, with six wins in eight games, keeping them near the top of the standings. However, their EuroLeague performance shows they struggle against tougher competition.
Match Facts
- Olympiacos is unbeaten at home this EuroLeague season, winning all four home games.
- ASVEL has lost all four of their away games, although only one of those losses was by more than 10 points.
- Odds: Olympiacos - 1.04, ASVEL - 11.
Key Player
Evan Fournier, who spent over a decade in the NBA, could play a pivotal role for Olympiacos in this matchup.
Head-to-Head
Olympiacos has a clear upper hand in recent head-to-head meetings, winning both games last season, each by a margin of more than 10 points.
Prediction
Bookmakers strongly favor Olympiacos, and I agree with this outlook. The quality and home-court advantage of Olympiacos should give them a commanding edge, especially with strong crowd support. I anticipate a one-sided game, so I’m placing a bet on Olympiacos to win with a -16.5 point spread.
