PREVIEW & TIPS CSKA Moscow VS Olympiakos

CSKA Moscow – Olympiacos – Derby The 27th round of the Euroleague is played in Moscow, where the leading CSKA (21-5) is welcomed by the second-placed Olympiacos (18-8), who only with the Feberbahce have secured the play-off.

“Armed players” in the double doubles have twice more victories than Olympiacos, but in the last six years they lost all four duels at the final tournaments (F4), the last one in May last year in Istanbul. In the same city they lost the only final match on F4, this was in 2012, while in 2013, 2015 and 2017, they lost semi-final matches. Now they have the opportunity to at least get some refinement, but they definitely confirm the first place at the end of the regular part.

They made a big step in confirming the first positions last week, when the De Cola with the sound of the siren defeated the current Fenerbahce champion 81:79 and they re-defeated them for defeat in the first half of Moscow. Vorontsevich with 17 and Higgins and Hines with 15 points were the most effective. Rudd, who played less than five minutes and scored only one jump, won the contract by the end of the season after his one-month expiry. Korbkov is hurt.

The likely starting line-up of CSKA: Higgins, De Colo, Clyburn, Vorontsevich, Hines

Olympiacos was unexpectedly and highly defeated in the field last week by already eliminated, but also weakened Barcelona by 63:90, while they also played without injured Agravanis and Papanikolauos. The best with 14 points and 12 rebounds was McLean, who with 25 points and 12 rebounds was the best in the December triumph against CSKA in Piraeus. Printezis also scored 14 points, but the only two-figure against Barça was Spanoulis with 10 points, while Tillie, Wilther and Thompson did not even enter the archers.

In order to celebrate eventual celebration in Moscow, where in this century they celebrated only once, in April 2008, they will have to have a lot more friendly players in the attack, but also again “tighten” their famous defense. Olympiacos, despite receiving 90 points on its field from Barça, scored 75.3 points in the second best defense of Euroleague. Spanoulis with 12,3 points and 5,3 assists is the team’s leader, the only two-figure is Printezis with 12,1 points.

The likely initial composition of Olympiacos: Mantzaris, Spanoulis, Papapetrou, Printezis, Milutinov
