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.

SIENA @ 1.25
stake 4/100

RESULT: Siena – Olympiacos 75-82

Bologna – Siena preview

 

Serie A
Matchday 16

Canadian Bologna – Montepaschi Siena
For my third, and last, bet on this Serie A matchday, I choose Virtus Bologna (9-5) against Mens Sana Siena. Statistics indicate that Bologna has 7 wins in 7 home games this season, so I expect another Bologna win or, at least,  a defeat for few points.

Siena (11-3) is still without Kaukenas and Lavrinovic. Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport don’t write anything about McCalebb, but anyway, I am not sure the Macedonian play maker is ok. In my opinion he is out of form.

Bologna (+5.5) @ 1.87
Stake 10/100

Siena – Pesaro preview

Serie A
Matchday 14

Montepaschi Siena – Scavolini Pesaro

Siena (10-2) have finally Bob McCalebb at his best. He is the most important player for the green & white team and I am confident he is set to get the win for Siena tonight. 

Pesaro (6-6) have a lot of problems with their supporters as the president Franco Del Moro has asked the police to protect the team. Some days ago a pig’s head was sent to the club, it’s a typical mafia messagge. Pesaro travel to Siena without the center Marco Cusin, iniured. I bet my money on Siena win.

Siena @ 1.10
