Command Analysis
Banco di Sardegna Sassari
ItalyCurrent form
Nenad Markovic's club is going through a difficult period of the season and cannot stabilize the results in any way. The team is in 11th place in the standings. The setback in the last match against Scafati (82:98) was especially painful, where the Sassari defense failed and the attack could not compensate for this disadvantage.
Justin Bibbins was one of his team's best players, but his 20 points didn't help avoid defeat. The main problem of Sassari remains the defensive game – the team too often allows opponents to score 80+ points, which makes it vulnerable in matches against top clubs.
There is a difficult meeting ahead against Olimpia Milan, which is gradually gaining momentum. The hosts will have to show their best in order to keep their playoff chances alive.

Ettore Messina's club remains one of the favorites of the season, but so far it is only in fifth place. The team is fighting for the leadership in the Serie A, as well as competing in the Euroleague in parallel, which puts an additional burden on the players.
In recent matches, Olimpija has shown its strength, winning two landslide victories over Pallacanestro (87:74) and Varese (119:92). I was particularly impressed with the performance of Zack Leday, who scored 26 points in the last meeting. The team demonstrates high performance, and rotation allows the coach to distribute his forces competently.
The away match against Sassari is a great opportunity to extend the winning streak and strengthen our position in the standings. The guests approach the game in optimal shape and are clearly aiming for another success.

Sassari is experiencing serious defensive problems and has not yet been able to return to the winning path. The team retains its chances of making the playoffs, but instability in the game can be a decisive factor in the fight for a place in the top eight.
Olimpia Milan is approaching the match in a great mood after a series of successful games. The club continues to fight for the leadership in Serie A and cannot afford losses in matches with the average players. High performance and a deep squad allow the Milanese to feel confident even on the road. In our opinion, Olimpia will take advantage of Sassari's weaknesses in defense and get another victory.
Our forecast is for Olimpia Milan to win, taking into account the handicap (-5) points in 1.72
Bet on the total
Sassari understands that it will be difficult to win in defensive basketball against Olimpia, so the team will try to play in the open. The guests, in turn, have scored 90+ points in recent matches and are sure to continue the attacking model of the game. We assume that the match will be productive, and the overall total will be broken.
Forecast - total more than 166 points in 1.66
Betting on statistics
"Milan" demonstrate a confident game in attack, steadily gaining high scores. In the last two matches, the team scored 87 and 119 points, which indicates the good form of the players. The weak defense of Sassari gives Olimpia an excellent chance to continue its productive streak. We believe that the guests will break through the individual total.
Prediction – Olimpia Milan's individual total is over 86.5 points per 1.77
