Prediction and betting tips

Barcelona have won five of the six matches and head the 2022-23 ACB with four victories in five matches, but they have problems playing in the 2022-23 EuroLeague. Barcelona have lost two out of four matches and both these matches were lost against underdogs.

Olimpia Milano have won 10 of the last 13 matches. Besides, two out of three lost matches were finished in overtime. They have won the last two H2H matches against Barcelona and have won the first halves in four of the last six H2H games. In the last game against Venezia, they attacked well, but had a low accuracy, which made them lose this match. I believe they will play much better against Barcelona and will be able to win the first half, but they are unlikely to win the match.

Betting prediction: HT/FT – 2/1

Odds: 6.00 (+500 American; 5/1 Fractional)
