Milano vs Real Madrid Prediction 13 October 2026
π Olimpia Milan host Real Madrid in this EuroLeague regular season clash. Both teams have struggled out of the gate, each holding a 1-3 record. For the Italians, itβs a crucial home opportunity to bounce back after their defeat to Maccabi, while Madrid will look to climb the standings and start living up to their billing as one of the preseason favourites.
Head-to-Head
πIn their last five head-to-head encounters, the Madrid giants have not been particularly convincing, picking up just two wins. However, their most recent clash in January 2026 was a dominant display, with Real cruising to a 106-77 victory.

Olimpia Milan: Pressure Mounts on the Head Coach
Much like last season, Olimpia are struggling to keep pace in the EuroLeague. After four rounds, they have managed just a single win - against their city rivals Virtus - and even that came courtesy of a last-second shot. As is often the case in Italy, head coach Poeta is already feeling the heat, despite public backing from the clubβs hierarchy. In reality, doubts are mounting, especially after Milanβs lacklustre showing in the previous round, where they were outclassed by Maccabi (79-97). Offensively, Olimpia were toothless: they converted just 7 of 26 attempts from beyond the arc and committed seven more turnovers than their opponents. The lone bright spot was Wrightβs impressive performance, as he posted 23 points and 8 rebounds.
Milan are eager to play at a higher tempo, but their defensive frailties continue to be exposed. A string of poor results underlines how tough it is for this franchise to contain opposing offenses. One of the main issues is the lack of consistent playmaking. Brown missed part of preseason and the start of the campaign, and without him, Olimpiaβs offense becomes predictable. Nebo and Lidey have also dealt with injury concerns, further limiting the teamβs frontcourt depth.

Real Madrid: too many stumbles
Real Madrid have suffered three consecutive away defeats - falling to Dubai, Anadolu Efes, and Hapoel. However, in Round 4, they finally bounced back with a home win over Partizan (89-80), a result that should restore confidence among their star-studded roster. Under new head coach Martinez, the team continues to search for the right combinations, and against the Belgrade side, Madrid looked far more cohesive.
Madridβs progress might be swifter if not for their injury woes. Deck is sidelined for 4-5 months - a devastating blow to their frontcourt. Garuba remains in recovery after an Achilles tear. Llull and Shulga didnβt even make the EuroLeague roster for the opening rounds due to poor fitness. But Real boast what Olimpia lack - depth and experience. Maledon has emerged as their primary scoring threat, leading the team in points in five of the last six games. Campazzo orchestrates the offense, dictating tempo and creating open looks for his teammates. And in the paint, Tavares remains the dominant force.

Total Points Prediction
In their head-to-head meetings, the hosts average 78.4 points per game, while the visitors post 83.8. Looking at the last ten matches: Olimpia put up an average of 89 points per home game this season, whereas Real are producing 94.2 points on the road. However, Milan have failed to surpass the 85.5-point mark at home against Madrid in eight of their last nine EuroLeague encounters. The smart play here is to back the hostsβ individual total under 85.5 points at odds of 1.82.
Match Outcome Prediction
Both sides have claimed six wins and suffered four defeats in their last ten outings. Notably, Olimpiaβs four victories all came on home court, while Madrid have secured two of their wins on the road. Itβs also worth highlighting that the Italian club havenβt lost a EuroLeague home game by more than six points in their last eight head-to-head meetings in the competition. The smart play here is to back the hosts with a +6.5 handicap at odds of 1.61.
β Editorβs Prediction
Olimpia have what it takes to put up a real fight on their home court, but Madridβs dominance in the paint and Campazzoβs composure in clutch moments give the visitors a slight edge. That said, if Shields goes off for 25 points or more and Realβs road struggles continue, all bets are off in this matchup. Such a scenario isnβt out of the question, especially with Martinez still searching for answers to Realβs away-day woes - a problem that plagued the Spanish giants throughout last season. With that in mind, backing the hosts with a +6.5 handicap looks like a solid play.
