Real Madrid - BC Olympiakos Piraeus: Form Analysis
Real Madrid are the defending EuroLeague champions and have advanced to the championship game in each of the last two seasons. They are the favourites to progress here given that they are also unbeaten in three meetings with Olympiacos. Madrid won a record-extending 11th EuroLeague crown thanks to a slim 79-78 victory over Olympiacos in last year’s final. The Spanish heavyweights have recorded three of their titles against Olympiacos. They have also won the previous two times they have battled in the playoffs. Chus Mateo’s men, who topped the regular season, are yet to lose in these playoffs. They swept fellow Spanish rivals Baskonia in the quarter-finals. Madrid are averaging a playoff-leading 97.7 points a game and shooting an impeccable 54.2% from the field.
Olympiacos have advanced to the final four for the third successive time. They will now seek to make it to a 10th final and possibly win a fourth European title. The Greek side won back-to-back EuroLeague titles in 2012 and 2013 with their last triumph coming at the expense of Madrid. This was also the last time they won a playoff tie against their soon-to-be hosts. The Reds lost to Madrid in five games in the 2013/14 quarter-finals which is the last time they met outside the Final Four. Olympiacos, who finished fifth in the regular season with a 22-12 record, eliminated Barcelona in the quarters. They won the series in five games, overcoming a 2-1 deficit. Georgios Bartzokas’ men, who have won their last five games across all competitions, are averaging 76.2 points in the postseason. This is the lowest return of the teams left in the playoffs. The Legend however have more than made up for their lackluster offence with an almost impregnable defence. They are allowing 70.2 points which is the best record in the playoffs.
