Olympiakos vs Barcelona Prediction: the Greeks Lost Half of Their Men to Injuries

Prediction for the Euroleague game between Olympiakos vs Barcelona, which will take place on October 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Greeks performed well in the first round, defeating the newcomers from Athens in a hard-fought match. Alas, this victory came at a great cost - Mckissic and Sikma are definitely out for the second round. The participation of Williams-Goss, Brazdeikis, and Fall is questionable. By the way, the latter two did not play against Pao either. Williams-Goss, who scored 16 points last week, will play with a hand injury if he is out.

Despite these losses, bookmakers consider Olympiakos the favorite. In addition, they believe that the team will be more efficient than in Athens. There, they scored 74 points in 40 minutes.

The Catalans beat Efes last week by 17 points, allowing the Turks to play on equal footing in only one quarter. That quarter was the third when both scored 59 points.

Bookmakers don't believe Barça will earn 91 points or so in Piraeus either. Perhaps because under Jasikevicius, the Catalans have never scored more than 76 against Olympiakos. The Greeks haven't let anyone gain more than 74 in regulation time this season, while Barcelona's average away performance, even in the domestic league, is 75 and a half on average.

In Piraeus, both teams' matches end with a TU. Barça once managed to win in such a low-scoring game two years ago.

Barça's roster looks way more powerful. We don't see how Bartsokas can defeat the visitors with a roster of seven and a half men.
