Olympiacos vs Monaco Prediction: the Visitors Might Score More Than Bookies Expect

Prediction for the Euroleague game between Olympiacos vs Monaco, which will take place on January 4th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The hosts beat Milan 79-74 at home, not very convincingly. They were luckier in the end - the score was 74-74. As it should be, Olympiacos failed the first quarter - Milan loses them all. In addition, they earned 18 points, and the quarter ended with 37 points - it's the third consecutive opening ten minutes with 37 points. In general, Olympiacos has not become more efficient at home - on average, they score 76 points per game while conceding 73. Bookmakers are almost convinced that Bartsokas' men will shoot more than their average this time around.

Monaco played with Maccabi Belgrade in the previous round. They only woke up in the second quarter, scoring only 12 points in the first quarter. It's not the first time this has happened to them at the start of a match. Since both teams need time to adjust, we can go with a first-quarter total under 39.5 for decent odds. Another interesting option: Monaco is averaging more than 77 points away. The Monegasques only earned 62 points in their last game against the Greeks. But before that, they scored between 81 and 96 points thrice in a row in Piraeus.

Of course, every team has bad days - something can go wrong on offense, defense, or anywhere else. That's how one gets 62 points in 40 minutes. But overall, we think Monaco's total is underrated.
