Virtus vs Olympiacos Prediction: the Greeks Continue to Win and Concede A Lot On the Road

Virtus has only beaten the Greeks once in the entire history of their encounters, and they have played few more top-flight matches. We can't say about a second win, but a rare TO can happen

Virtus

Virtus won their last victory on 17 January. Since then, they have lost four games in a row, three of them on their home court. In those games, the Italian team wasn't very efficient, scoring 80 points only once, against Monaco. Virtus managed to score 77 and 71 points against Paris and Partizan, respectively. On average, Dusko Ivanovic's men score 78 and a half points at home, while conceding 80.5

Olympiacos

On 13 December last year, the Piraeans lost in Belgrade to the Star, got 87 points from it and haven't lost away since. The team has now won six away games in a row. In only one of those six games have they conceded less than 83 points (73 in Paris), while Olympiacos is averaging the same 85 points on the road, scoring a point more. That's why the oddsmakers believe that Virtus will at least confirm their performance.In the first round in Piraeus, the Italians scored only 77 points. Clyburn and Morgan, who are currently not playing, were in the squad for that game. But Justin Holiday has played. Under Luca Banchi, Virtus never scored even 70 against the Greeks. With Ivanovic, things are getting better. Perhaps, Friday will not be boring either.

We've said that Oli's defence is much better in away games than in Piraeus. All the teams except Paris has played well against the Greeks, and the total score of 163.5 was not reached in only one game out of six. We'll try out this one.
