Command Analysis
Barcelona
SpainCurrent form
The Spanish club cannot boast consistently high results in the Euroleague, but it remains in the playoff zone. Barcelona is in eighth place and has a chance to compete for the top 6. In the last round, the team confidently beat Maccabi Tel Aviv (100:71), having played a great match on the home court. Kevin Panter especially stood out, scoring 28 points, which helped the hosts secure a crushing victory.
Despite the victory, Barca has one of the most difficult challenges ahead – a meeting with Olympiacos. The Greek club is leading in the Euroleague, and this will be an important test of strength for the Catalans. The team will try to take advantage of the factor of home parquet and the support of the stands.

Nicolas Laprovittola and Jan Vesely will not play in the next match due to injuries.

Olympiacos B.C.
GreeceCurrent form
The Greeks continue to hold the first place in the Euroleague, but the competitors do not let them relax. Fenerbahce is under particularly serious pressure. Georgios Bartzokas' team demonstrates a high level of play and successfully copes with most of their opponents. In the last two matches, Olympiacos defeated Anadolu Efes (92:89) and Paris (90:73), confirming their leadership status. However, the team is facing personnel problems – several players are in the infirmary, which may affect the depth of the squad.
The upcoming trip to Barcelona will be an important challenge for the Greeks. Barca have gained a good momentum, and they always act with renewed vigor on the home court.
