In icy Novgorod, Olympiakos is being tested today against Nizhny for the 7th game of the Top 16.
The red and whites are in very good condition and have only one defeat in six games in the Top 16 with 84-70 from Efes in Turkey. In the previous match in the group derby they defeated CSKA 84-76 in a match that consistently had a difference of 5 -10 points from the 1st half. In the Greek championship he has successfully reached 13 consecutive victories and is in first place.
Nizhny, who made her Euroleague debut this year, although she does not have the big budget that other Russian teams have, is doing quite well. Eurocup. In the Top 4 he started with a big victory in Milan but from there on he has lost 16/4 in the next games. The team of the Latvian coach Bagatskis has a small roster and relies mainly on the Americans Tombkins, Rochesti and Kinsey.
Olympiacos has more and better points than Nizhny and I expect to get an easy victory in Russia. The 1,50 of the bet is small but it will be very difficult to break.
