Maccabi vs Milano Prediction 8 October 2026
🏀 In this EuroLeague regular season clash, Maccabi Tel Aviv are set to take on Olimpia Milan. The Israeli side come into the game on the back of a losing streak, which only adds extra motivation for their players. In terms of roster quality and individual talent, the hosts appear to have the upper hand. It promises to be a tough challenge for the Italian club.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last meeting between these sides took place in mid-March, with Milan securing a 96-87 home victory. Looking at their previous five head-to-head clashes, Olimpia hold the upper hand with four wins to just one for the Israeli powerhouse.
Head-to-head statistics Maccabi - Milano
Maccabi Tel Aviv: potential for progress
The Israeli side haven’t had the best start to their season - at least in EuroLeague play, where they’ve lost all three of their opening games. Last round, they fell to Panathinaikos (67-90), and before that suffered a 93-109 defeat against Besiktas. This is despite having a roster packed with quality, featuring both NBA veterans and players with strong continental pedigrees. Recent matches have made it clear that the team are struggling mightily to convert their chances. They’re creating good looks, but just can’t seem to finish. Facing Milan, however, could be the opportunity they need to find some offensive rhythm. After a run of official games, shooting percentages should start to trend upward. It’s not worth putting too much stock in Maccabi’s current average of 78 points per game - there’s every reason to believe they can push past the 90-point mark in this matchup.

Olimpia Milan: Plenty of Issues Early in the Season
The Milan side have been inconsistent so far, both in European competition and domestically. They recently suffered a setback against Tezenis Verona, falling 72-75. Their last EuroLeague outing also ended in defeat, as they lost 76-86 to Baskonia. Playing away from home could pose a significant challenge for this team. Moreover, their roster doesn’t quite match the quality of their opponents. While the visitors are built to shoot from beyond the arc, their accuracy drops considerably on the road - just 29.2% from three-point range in that aforementioned clash with the Basques. It’s likely they’ll face similar offensive struggles in this matchup. Defensively, the problems are persistent: Milan are conceding an average of around 88 points per EuroLeague game. Sometimes it’s a lack of skill, sometimes poor form, and sometimes it’s simply the difficulty of playing away.

Total Points Prediction
At home in this EuroLeague campaign, Maccabi are averaging an impressive 93 points per game, while Olimpia have been limited to around 76 points on their travels. Over their last 10 outings, Maccabi have maintained an average of 88.7 points (with that number rising to 93.5 on their own court), whereas Olimpia Milano are posting roughly 84.3 points per game (slightly lower on the road, at about 83.5). It's also worth highlighting Maccabi’s remarkable streak: the Tel Aviv side have scored more than 84.5 points in eight consecutive EuroLeague home games. The well-founded prediction here is to back Maccabi Tel Aviv’s individual total over 84.5 points at odds of 1.62.Match Outcome Prediction
Both teams have recorded six wins and four losses in their last ten outings. At home, Maccabi have claimed victory four times, while Milan have managed two away wins. It's also worth noting Milan's ongoing struggles on the road - Olimpia Milano have suffered eight consecutive away defeats in the EuroLeague. Given this, backing a Maccabi Tel Aviv win at odds of 1.76 looks like a well-founded prediction.⭐ Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers have installed the Israeli giants as favourites for this clash. Although the game is being played on neutral ground, the Tel Aviv club are already used to such conditions - and their fans are turning up in numbers. The nominal hosts are expected to show steady improvement, and as previously mentioned, their creativity in attack is not in doubt. Their shooters bring plenty of experience as well, so it's only a matter of time before they find their rhythm and start hitting consistently. Given Milan’s significant struggles at the start of the season, it’s reasonable to anticipate more problems for them - both defensively and offensively. Our editorial team believes Maccabi are poised to claim their first international victory of the campaign. We’re backing Maccabi Tel Aviv to win.
