MONTEPASCHI – OLYMPIACOS PREVIEW

EUROLEAGUE
Playoff  – Game 1
Wednesday, March 21, 2012 – 20:45 cet

MONTEPASCHI SIENA – OLYMPIACOS PIREAUS

Siena (12-4) is a strong team with great experience. The italian team is still without Rimantas Kaukenas, but the coach Simone Pianigiani has already shown he is ready to solve this problem.
Probable starters: McCalebb, Thornton, Moss, Stonerook, Andersen.

Olympiacos (9-7) is the underdog in this playoff series. In my opinion they can get a win when they will play in Athens, but I don’t see any chance for the Greek team in Siena. As you live in Italy, you can watch the game live on TV channel Sportitalia.
Probable starters: Mantzaris, Spanoulis, Papanikolau, Antic, Dorsey.

stake 4/100

RESULT: Siena – Olympiacos 75-82

Olympiacos – CSKA preview

Euroleague
Top 16, Matchday 1
Wednesday, Juanuary 18, 2012 – 20:45 cet

Olympiacos Pireaus – CSKA Moscow
Olympiacos (6-4) are taking on CSKA, one month later both teams secured a  place in Euroleague Top 16. Unfortunatley the Greeks are without Panos Vasilopoulos, injured. Anyway the coach Dusan Ivkovic is quite optimistic: “I believe that our fans will help us a lot in this game and we will try hard to do something good.”

CSKA  (10-0) is probably the best European team, as they won all the games in Euroleague regular season. Soon or later they are set to lose. Today it could be that day!

Olympiakos (+5.5) @ 1.92
Stake 10/100
