Olimpia’s actions could put the Catalans at a deadlock. It’s not easy to penetrate the Italian defence, though. It’s possible that Messina’s men won’t be able to overcome them with confidence.
The Italians are not likely to change anything. Their defensive model has brought them success so far. It’s likely that Messina’s men will once again try to play carefully under the basket. That tactic will not allow their opponents to show good play on offence.
Messina’s men have scored more than 72 points in 3 of their last 4 games.
Barcelona did not start the current season in the best possible way. The Catalans lost the Spanish Super Cup before losing to Gran Canaria and Olympiacos. However, Sarunas Jasikevicius’s side managed to emerge from the crisis. The meeting with Real Madrid, which the Blaugranas won by a score of 75-73, proved a turning point.
Lately, Barcelona’s play has been excellent. Occasionally, Barcelona has misfired, but they correct them quickly. In the last three weeks, the Blaugranas have won five of their six games.
Barcelona is averaging 19.3 assists per game this season.
Olimpia Milano is not as spectacular a team as the rest of the EuroLeague. Messina’s men focus too much on defence. That kind of tactic, however, has allowed the Italians to win. In the current Euroleague season, they’ve won 3 of their 4 games.
Their most recent victories came on the road. First, they defeated Partizan (80-75), then dealt with Bayern (83-81). Messina’s men won’t mind continuing their streak.
Olimpia players are averaging 16.8 assists per game this season.
In 3 of Barcelona’s last 5 matches, more than 38.5 points were scored in the first quarter.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Barcelona Basquet: Tomáš Satoranský – Nicolás Laprovíttola – Nikola Kalinić – Sertac Sanli – Mike Tobey.
Olimpia Milano: Kevin Pangos – Shavon Shields – Deshaun Thomas – Nicolò Melli – Kyle Hines.
The fixture will be played at Palau Blaugrana (7.585) in Barcelona, Spain.
This starting whistle will sound on the 28th of October, 2022, at 19:30 UK Time.
