Lyon Villeurbanne (+6.5 & - 158.5 pts) - Olympiacos

A game of regulators in my view today with Willeburn welcoming the Olympic.

Return to the lounges after 9 years for Villarban after her new boss Tony Parker managed to persuade euroleague executives to accept a team from France. Team management, however, did not take part in the millions we had this year and the roster is a bit crowded for a team in the larger European competition. Best player on the team is Edwin Jackson, who is expected to take on the bulk of his attacks. But there is also an 18 time mixer by Theo Malenton who is expected to be the new big star in the coming years and many believe he will be the new Doncic.

On the other Olympiacos remains a big question mark as last year's 70% team has changed, the Greek trunk no longer exists and the transfers he made are more raffles than arriving players. Certainly it will take a lot of work from the coach until the team becomes (if) competitive. Friendly Olympiacos was disappointing though the coach tried to go through several tests but I think he will now follow the lead and there will be many players from last year's team with Printzis, Papanikolaou and Spanoulis to get a great deal of time. Milutinov has turned heavier than China and this will be an additional problem as he has no reliable player on the racket.

Summing up I believe thatthe game will be a derby because Astroball has always been a hot and enthusiastic home and has traditionally made it difficult for opponents. I'll take the Under with me as I think Olympiacos is badly offensive and will go on to win it in defense.

The point I choose is ... Villeurbanne (+6.5 & Under 158.5 pts) in performance 2.30 at stoiximan.
