Euroleague predictions

Olympiacos vs Real Madrid

Olympiacos and Real Madrid will compete in the Championship game of the Euroleague 2023 when they meet at Zalgirio Arena on Sunday evening. The Reds have been named champions three times while Los Blancos twelve.

Olympiacos being headed by in-form Kostas Sloukas, a three-time winner, and newly crowned Euroleague MVP Sasha Vezenkov.

Real Madrid has a lot of veterans with massive experience, but also players like Musa and Tavares, both members of the All-EuroLeague First Team and the league’s best defenders.

Olympiacos won both of their regular-season games with Real Madrid this season—a 73-60 victory in Greece despite Real’s lowest scoring output of the year and an 87-89 victory in the Spanish capital in Round 3.

Both of these clubs are fortunate to have seasoned players who have overcome challenges. In Friday’s opening semifinal game against Monaco, Olympiacos came back from a 12-point deficit at the break with a record-setting third quarter (27-2).

After being the first team in competition history to come back from a 0-2 hole in the playoffs (vs Partizan) and trailing by nine late in the second quarter of the ‘el clasico’ semifinal against Barcelona, Real has now won four straight elimination games.

Despite both of them having fantastic seasons, only one will be celebrating on Sunday night.

Olympiacos is the favorite for the win at prices of 1.50. However, our Final 4 prediction goes to the number of points scored. Given the defence’s importance in these two clubs, we expect a low number of field goals scored. Only if the amount of fouls is uncontrollable and many free throws taken, the final might end up with more than 154.5 being scored. For that scenario, you may consider betting on the… draw too, where the total will reach higher levels. But here we’ve picked Under 154.5 points as our main Euroleague final pick.

Under 154.5 at 1.90
