H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Real Madrid Team Overview
Real Madrid are delivering commendable performances this season. In their last ten games, they have secured seven wins and suffered three losses. Their average scoring in the EuroLeague stands at a respectable 84.2 points per game, thanks to the league's best two-point shooting percentage at 59.4%. However, they occasionally lack focus when defending against opponents' three-point shots. An interesting fact: Real Madrid almost always triumph at home, with 15 wins in their last 16 home games.
Mateo Chus' squad found themselves under pressure after two defeats in Greece but handled the mental strain impressively by defeating Olympiacos in the third game of the series (80-72). The match was once again challenging. Madrid trailed 38-44 at halftime, but one of the most significant factors for success in the knockout stages emerged-their deep bench. Real's nominal bench players Llull, Ibaka, Abalde, Garuba, and Felis orchestrated a crucial 9-2 run, disrupting the Greeks' rhythm. Meanwhile, leaders Hezonja, Tavares, and Musa played at a high level, contributing 42 of the team's 80 points.

Olympiacos Team Overview
Olympiacos secured the top spot in the regular season with confidence and started their series against Real Madrid strongly, claiming two home victories. They are renowned for their dominance under the basket (averaging 32.9 rebounds per game, ranking 4th in the league) and their effective use of fast offensive plays. However, they sometimes struggle to defend against opponents' fast breaks. Interestingly, Olympiacos have covered a +9.5 spread against Real Madrid on the road six times in their last seven visits.
Despite coach Georgios Bartzokas warning his Piraeus squad after their home games that nothing was decided yet, Olympiacos were unprepared for the energy brought by the opponent's bench players in the second half, allowing several open three-pointers. This was the main reason for their setback, as they matched up well in key statistical areas, with leader Sasha Vezenkov delivering another stellar performance (21 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists). It will be intriguing to see how the Olympiacos coach adjusts to the increased activity from the opponent's role players in the upcoming match.
