Maccabi Tel Aviv and Olympiacos face off in a critical EuroLeague match following recent defeats. Maccabi has been struggling, winning only one of their last four games, and they face challenges playing in a neutral venue due to FIBA restrictions. Olympiacos, though recovering from a loss to Anadolu Efes, bring a solid defense and potential return of key player Evan Fournier. Historically, Olympiacos has done well against Maccabi, and given Maccabi’s recent struggles, Olympiacos has a strong chance to take advantage of the situation.

Maccabi Tel Aviv Form & Team News


Maccabi Tel Aviv are in a rough stretch, winning just one of their last four EuroLeague games. Their latest performance, a heavy 71–92 loss to Barcelona, exposed major flaws, including early foul trouble for key players like Lonnie Walker and Roman Sorkin, and a disorganized offense that shot just 2-of-16 in the second quarter.

Due to FIBA restrictions, Maccabi can't host games in Tel Aviv and will face Olympiacos in Belgrade, a big blow to their home-court advantage. Historically dominant at home against Olympiacos, the neutral venue changes the equation. They've now lost three of their last four EuroLeague games and haven’t looked cohesive on either end of the court.

One of the few positives was Marcio’s 18-point effort against Barca, showing potential from the bench. However, the lack of experienced depth and growing reliance on younger players is clearly hurting their short-term results.

Maccabi must find a way to stay out of foul trouble and get more production from their stars if they want to remain competitive. Right now, they don’t look like a playoff-caliber team.

Olympiacos Form & Team News


Olympiacos are aiming to bounce back after a tough home loss to Anadolu Efes (78-82), where they started well but lost control early. Tyler Dorsey opened strong but faded fast, and the offense struggled without injured guard Evan Fournier.

Despite the setback, the Greek side has shown consistency overall, winning three of their last five games across all competitions. They opened the season with a Greek Super Cup title and solid EuroLeague wins over Baskonia and Dubai, though their offense still lacks variation when pressured.

Fournier is expected to return for this match, which would be a major boost. Olympiacos have struggled offensively in away games against Maccabi, often failing to score over 87 points, but the neutral venue in Belgrade could help break that pattern.

With their experience, strong defense, and potential full roster, Olympiacos have a solid chance to exploit Maccabi’s current instability.

Head to Head


In both matchups last season, which were, by the way, high-scoring, Olympiacos came out on top against Maccabi.

Verdict

Both teams have shown defensive lapses in recent games, and with key offensive players like Dorsey, Walker, and a returning Fournier on the floor, this matchup has strong potential to turn into a high-scoring affair. 

Given Maccabi's tendency to play faster and Olympiacos' ability to respond offensively, backing the over seems like the smarter play here.
