Villeurbanne put an end to Milano's six-game winning streak. The French side beat Olympia 78-69 after a close game. Milano had the control, but the hosts took the lead following a 14-2 run. And after that, they never trailed again. It was a night to forget for Milano's stars and only Shavon Shields with his 18 points and Zach LeDay with another 14 tried to help their team.

Milano are struggling to stay at the top-4 on the standings and get the home advantage for the play-offs. And if they had won in the last round they would have better chances. And in order to stay in touch, they must take advantage of their home. And if they continue committing the fewest turnovers per game they will be closer to victory.

Maccabi Tel Aviv didn't play with Anadolu Efes in the last round due to the Covid-19 protocol. So their latest Euroleague game was the one against Fenerbache in Istanbul. The Israeli side lost 82-75 from a far better team. Even though the visitors tried their best, Fener had control and never really threatened by Maccabi. Elijah Bryant had another great night with 18 points and Scottie Wilbekin recorded his first career double-double with 15 points, 10 assists and, 3 steals, but all these went for nothing.

And now Maccabi has another difficult trip ahead in their attempt to pass in the post-season. They are 3 wins down and they must start winning really fast. And if they want to do it in Milan they have to really take care of their defense. Despite the effort of their key players in the offense, Maccabi have allowed 82.7 points in losses this season compared to just 74.3 in wins. Giannis Sfairopoulos knows exactly what his players must do. The question is if they can do it against Olympia's superstars.

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is Olympia Milano v Maccabi Tel Aviv 7-12.

Malcom Delaney and Scottie Wilbekin are the ones that are predicted to shine in tonight's clash. For the visitors, Wilbekin leads in both scoring, he offers 16.3 points per game and dishes 4.3 assists per game, and plays a key role in all of Maccabi's games. Delaney's performance with 11.6 points per game and 4.0 assists per game might not be as shining as his opponent's, but he also helps a lot in Milano's campaign this season.  Those two will determine the outcome of this match with their offensive performance.
