Command Analysis

ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne

Current form
The French team is at the bottom of the Euroleague standings, ahead of only a few outsiders. The start of the season was disastrous, but the club has recently started to show signs of progress.
After a series of three victories, the team could not cope with Virtus (69:83). The away game turned out to be difficult, especially due to weak implementation in attack. Returning to the home court gives hope, but they will have to face a strong opponent who is determined to break their own losing streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
Charles Caudi and Mbaye Ndaye will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The French have won four of their last five matches.
Probable lineup: Roberson - Ajinsa, Sako - Lee, Maledon.

AX Armani Exchange Milano

Current form
The Italian club is going through a nasty slump, which has cast doubt on its chances of reaching the play-in. The team has lost three games in a row, losing to Panathinaikos (74:103), Bayern (78:79) and Olympiacos (83:84). In the last two games, Ettore Messina men were close to victory, but they lacked a little luck.
The upcoming match will be an important test for Olimpia. Despite the status of the guests, the team has a strong lineup and is ready to fight for the necessary result.
Disqualifications and injuries
Joshua Nebo will be out due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
In 3 of the last 5 head-to-head matches, the club won three victories.

Olimpia Milan are in a difficult situation after three defeats in a row, which only increases their motivation. The Italian club is trying to improve their results and has every chance of doing so, especially considering the experience of their players. In our opinion, the visitors are capable of winning this match.
Our prediction is Olimpia Milan victory with overtime in 2.05

The game will likely focus on the battle in the center of the field rather than on open attack. Neither team is showing high scoring, so we do not expect the total to be broken.
Forecast - total under 171.5 points for 1.71
Bet on statistics
The French club will face a motivated opponent who will try to slow down the pace of the game. ASVEL will have to adapt to the opponent style, which will affect their performance. We assume that the hosts will not be able to exceed their individual total.
Forecast - ASVEL individual total under 85.5 points for 1.90
