Both teams have injury concerns going into the match
With respect to this game, Olympiacos may be able to welcome back Georgios Printezis after an ankle injury and it is likely that Tremmell Darden will be able to see more game time this game. However, Matt Lojeski is likely to remain absent for the Greek side. For the away team, Martynas Pocius is a doubt with the player suffering from a back injury.
With both teams having quality all over the court, it may well be that points are in short supply and the Over/Under market is well worth taking a look at with respect to odds of 1.90 for Over 147.5. As for the spread pick, you have to fancy the Greek side to continue their Euroleague Group D dominance and odds of 1.90 for Olympiacos at -8.5 are likely to be of merit if you are keen to bet on this match.

The reasons for trusting Olympiacos can be found throughout the preview but there is no doubt that a 4-0 record, and a strong win on the road in Belgrade last time around will see the home side coming into the match with plenty of confidence. The expected return of Tremmel Darden will provide even more vigour to Olympiacos and the team has one of the strongest players in the league at the moment in Vasillis Spanoulis. When you take on board the fact that the player has averaged 19.5 points per game, which is the 2nd best record in the 2014/15 Euroleague so far, you can see why there is a great deal of confidence coming into this game. Galatasaray will be out to make life as difficult as possible for the group leaders but if the game goes to form and expectations, the home side will be too strong for their closest rivals in the group.
