Team Analysis: Monaco

Monaco Current Form

Monaco has experienced a notable decline in the second half of the season, mainly due to financial problems. The club, which played in the Euroleague final last year, has seen its performance drop drastically. Despite managing to qualify for the playoffs, the matchup against Olympiacos, added to the fact that the first two games of the series were played away from home, made it difficult to expect a favorable result.

Despite the efforts of Michael James and his teammates, they were unable to impose their style of play on the rival. The Monegasques return from Greece without victories and are preparing to try to surprise their opponent at home, although the mood of the players is low.

Team Analysis: Olympiacos

Olympiacos Current Form

The Greek giant has had ups and downs, but has finished the regular phase of the Euroleague in first position. The team beat Monaco without major difficulties in the first match of the series (91:70). Alexander Vezenkov was, as usual, in great form, scoring 20 points.
