Prediction published on 24/01/2024, 12:03  by Kennedy Kechula in EuroLeague Predictions

Real Madrid will be at home to welcome Olympiacos for their next EuroLeague regular season assignment. Madrid currently top the standings and sit 14 points clear of sixth-placed Olympiacos. Real Madrid have an eight-point lead atop of the table and will be eager to at least have it remain so. They have won 19 of 22 games and have won all 10 matches they have played at home. Chus Mateo’s men have also won the last two meetings with Olympiacos and will therefore be highly confident of a win here. They won the first matchup of the season 77-71 back in December away in Greece. Madrid, who are averaging a league-leading 89.0 points, are coming off a 95-80 victory over Bilbao in the Spanish domestic league. The victory halted a two-game skid. Madrid, who will be without Guerschon Yabusele for this match, lost last time out in the EuroLeague away in Monaco.

Olympiacos have stuttered recently and have lost three times in five outings. They were defeated last time out in a top-of-the-table Greek Basketball League clash with Panathinaikos. Georgios Bartzokas’ men fell 85-80 away to their eternal rivals who moved two points clear at the top of the standings. The loss ended a two-match winning run. Olympiacos, who have won 12 of 22 matches in the EuroLeague, defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv at home last time out in the competition. The Reds have struggled playing away from home in the continent and have so far compiled a 4-6 record on the road. Nikola Milutinov is set to miss this match. The centre is likely to be sidelined for two months due to a fractured foot. Olympiacos are averaging 77.5 points which has them ranked 16th in this regard.
