Olimpia Milano vs Partizan Prediction: the Visitors Can't Manage Second Victory

Since returning to the Euroleague, Partizan has not won in Milan. Their last victory there happened in November 2011, and it will be very difficult to improve that now because the conditions are too bad.

Milan

This double Euro week is a good one for Milan, as both games occur at home.The first one ended with a big victory – Alba was defeated with a score of 100:68. Looking at this situation, bookmakers offer good odds, starting from the Milan's total over 86.5. After their match against Alba, the Serbs are averaging 89 points. But Partizan is not anywhere like Alba. 

Partizan

The Belgraders just played in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, and surprisingly, with ease, defeated ASVEL 93:62. This is the least number of their points conceded this season. But what was it - Partizan's great defense or ASVEL's poor offense? On average, Obradovic's men concede 83.5 points on the road, while scoring exactly the same amount. Before the game against the Frenchmen, they travelled to Athens and Istanbul, getting 96 and 86 from Pao and Efes. In addition, the Serbs will have their second away game in a double-header week. They've already won one match. We think Milan will reach the total over, as they did well in Belgrade.

Stats Betting

Partizan lacks some of their best players in the back line - Ntilikina, Marinkovic, and Washington are out. That's why Iffe Lunberg played a lot in France - 28.5 minutes - and scored 18 points. Obradovic doesn't really have any other choices, so the Dane is likely to leave the court rarely and briefly in Milan, too. As an option, you can bet more on Lundberg's points.

Expert Betting Tips

The second away game in a double week is not a judgement call, but it is still extremely difficult to succeed, especially after winning the first one. We find it hard to believe that the Belgrade defense is impenetrable.
