And finally we reached Game 5! Olympiacos and Monaco are facing each other in the last game of the series, which leads to Belgrade and the F4!
A big game that will give the winner the ticket to “Stark Arena”, bringing them closer to winning the Euroleague!
Olympiacos, the hosts, are ready for a big night in Piraeus and the “Peace and Friendship Stadium”. They have the experience and the know-how of such games, along with their fans’ support.
After all, that’s why they “fought” during the regular season. To play this game in their home court.
On the other hand, the Monegasques know they have nothing to lose and they’ll try to qualify and surprise the European basketball world! Is there really anyone that believes they can’t?
We expect a tough Game 5, a derby. For sure, Olympiacos is the favorite. They’ve played such games several times, having won them all. That’s the reason I believe they have a better chance to advance.
But, I don’ think they”ll have an easy job. My opinion is that the Greeks will be in Belgrade, but in a hard way. Monaco will fight till the end. So, I could pick a handicap +11.5 for the French side. We can find this option in a good odd (1.50).
Vezenkov can be crucial here. The option to score over 13.5 points (1.75) and take over 5.5 rebounds (1.60) looks good to me. I also like over 1.5 assists for Papanikolaou (1.75).
