It is unlikely that the outsider will be able to put up much resistance to the tournament leader. The class of the opponents differs significantly. We think the Greek team will get another convincing win.
We expect the upcoming game to be a high-scoring affair. In the first leg, the teams scored 162 points, but Alba was an away team at the time. The Germans are much better at home. It’s likely that this time they will be more aggressive offensively.
The Germans have scored more than 79 points in their last five games.
Alba Berlin lost its last games in the Euroleague. This time Gonzalez’s men failed to overcome Monaco (84:102) and Fenerbahce (86:101). Those results dropped the Berlin team to last place in the standings. The Germans only have six wins under their belt. Alba has two fewer wins than the 17th ASVEL.
We’d like to add that Alba has won the majority of their victories this season on the home court. In the Euroleague, for example, the Berliners won four of their six games at Mercedes-Benz Arena.
In the game against Fenerbahce, Johannes Thiemann scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
Alba Berlin has lost 74% of its games this season.
The home team’s games have an average score of 165 points.
Olympiacos remains the Euroleague leader. The Greek team has 16 wins under its belt. The same number is held by Real Madrid, but the Spaniards are outclassed by the team from Piraeus in terms of the best additional points.
In their last matches, Olympiacos have been victorious. Giorgis Bartsokas’s men outplayed Fenerbahce (93-73) and Anadolu Efes (76-70). The Greeks approached their encounter with Alba Berlin on a streak of eight straight victories.
Olympiacos has won 69% of the season’s meetings.
The away team’s games have an average score of 162 points.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Alba Berlin: Jaleen Smith – Jonas Mattisseck – Louis Olinde – Luke Sikma – Yanni Wetzell.
Olympiacos: Thomas Walkup – Isaiah Canaan – Kostas Papanikolaou – Sasha Vezenkov – Moustapha Fall.
The fixture will be played at Mercedes-Benz Arena (14.500) in Berlin, Germany.
This starting whistle will sound on the 8th of February 2023, at 19:00 UK Time.
