Valencia vs Olympiacos Prediction 13 October 2026
🏀 Valencia Basket host Olympiacos in one of the marquee matchups of the latest EuroLeague round. The hosts are off to a flying start, winning all four games and averaging over 100 points per contest. The Greeks, after suffering an early defeat, have steadied the ship and now look extremely dangerous. Expect a high-intensity, high-scoring encounter.
Head-to-Head
📊Interestingly, last season Valencia managed to defeat future EuroLeague champions Olympiacos in both of their head-to-head clashes. First, they secured an impressive 99-92 win on the road, before edging out a narrow 85-84 victory at home.
Head-to-head statistics Valencia - Olympiacos
Valencia have silenced all their doubters.
Valencia currently sit atop the EuroLeague standings alongside Panathinaikos, boasting a perfect 4-0 record - one of the best starts in club history. The team averages 101.3 points per game and converts 46.1% of their three-point attempts. These aren’t just impressive stats - they reflect a distinct identity. Valencia play with aggression and fearlessness, maintaining their high-octane, attacking style despite a summer overhaul and a change at the helm, as Albert, formerly Martinez’s assistant, has stepped up as head coach.
The key figures for Valencia are Shorts and Taylor, who shoulder much of the creative and scoring load. Add to that the invaluable experience of star signing Mirotic, who has seamlessly slotted into the team. The “Oranges” push the tempo, take plenty of shots from beyond the arc, and thrive in transition. Their latest victim was Hapoel Tel Aviv (93-82), outgunned by Valencia’s trademark offensive basketball.

Olympiacos maintain their high standards
Olympiacos are the reigning EuroLeague champions, boasting a 3-1 record so far this season. Their sole defeat came in painful fashion, falling to Virtus on the road. Despite that setback, the Piraeus side remain a powerhouse with remarkable depth and resilience, often grinding out wins even on nights when their overall performance might not fully warrant it. Discipline, stifling defense, and the ability to take control in key moments are hallmarks of this team. In recent outings, the Greeks have displayed consistency across all facets of the game.
Vezhenkov continues to be the marquee star, averaging 17.3 points and 5.5 rebounds - a truly elite standard for EuroLeague play. Dorsey and Fournier provide perimeter firepower, while Milutinov is a dominant presence in the paint. Yet even this juggernaut has its vulnerabilities - namely, pace. Bartzokas builds his system around half-court offense and tough defense. Valencia, meanwhile, push the tempo, averaging 101 points per game. If Olympiacos fail to slow things down, Vezhenkov and Milutinov will be forced to defend in transition - an area that doesn't play to their strengths. Last season, the Greeks lost both head-to-head clashes against the Spanish side for precisely this reason: they couldn't cope with Valencia's relentless pace.

Total Points Prediction
In head-to-head matchups, the hosts average 76.7 points per game, while the visitors post 81.3. Over their last ten outings, Valencia have put up an even 97 points per contest, compared to Olympiacos’ 93.4. One trend worth noting: Olympiacos have failed to surpass the 92.5-point mark in fifteen of their last sixteen meetings with this opponent. With that in mind, the smart play here is on Olympiacos under 92.5 points at odds of 1.79.
Match Outcome Prediction
These sides have faced off 16 times in their history, with Valencia Basket claiming 5 wins and Olympiacos coming out on top in 11 encounters. There are some notable trends: Valencia have lost seven of their last eight home games against Olympiacos in the EuroLeague. Meanwhile, the Greek club have emerged victorious in 11 of their previous 12 games in the competition. Given these factors, backing an away win at odds of 1.7 looks like a well-founded prediction.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
The match promises to be a fast-paced, attack-minded contest, with both teams consistently finding the basket whether at home or on the road. Valencia Basket’s recent form highlights their ability to dictate a trademark high tempo on their own court. In seven of their last eight EuroLeague home games, the hosts have topped the 89.5-point mark. Valencia push the pace relentlessly, while Olympiacos often struggle to get back on defense when playing away. With Shorts and Mirotic orchestrating the offense, Valencia should have plenty of opportunities to break the 90-point barrier - and the Greeks are more than capable of matching that output. The smart play here is over 179.5 total points.
