Can't agree with 1.95-1.95 line here because Olympiacos was looking good in Game 1. Pao used help of referees to win first game but it was not playing at its best and I have some doubts about PAO ability to win key games with these roster. They have too many lost players like Prkacin, Dikoudis, Zizic others are not so stable and you never know who will be a leader of this team in next game. Sometimes it is good but not for PAO. They need to rebuild their roster for next season if the want to achieve something.

As for Oly they don't have better players but they have better team and playing schemes. Especially now with Shortsianidis under the baskets they have so many offensive power than I hardly see Pao defending under 80 points because with Baby-Shaq Oly force opponents to foul and use free throws into their favor. One bad news is that Bouroussis is questionable for this game but I hope he will play for some minutes to give some rest for Shortsianidis.

In my opinion Oly should be at least 2.5-3 points favorites of this game and odds around 1.62-1.68 on Oly to win are more fair than 1.9-2.0.

 

Prediction: I don't expect one-sided game but home court will be main advantage for hosts in the end of the game. Expect close equal game with Olympiacos to win in the end by 4-6 points.
