Olympiacos feels superior to its rival and is showing it. The support of the stands is essential in this series, but the players are also performing at a high level, determined to advance to the next round without major complications.

Monaco, without the spark of Vasilis Spanoulis, has become considerably weaker. They have lost sharpness in attack and consistency on the court. The Monegasques will probably risk everything, but the Greeks are prepared for it. We believe that the locals will take the victory again.
