Olympiakos won easy in Istanbul against Besiktas in a game where they dominated from the first until the last minute. Josh Powell was the pleasant surprise for Olympiakos, who returned in good performances after a long time, scoring 16 points in 20 minutes.
They also won easy for the Greek League away to Kavala, and they continues to be on the top of Greek League with 18-1 record. No player played more than 26 minutes to this game, while lot of players were rested.
Based on the numbers and stats Barcelona is the top team in the Euroleague, but Olympiakos at home can win this game. There is respect for the opponent strengths and weaknesses, but there is lot of belief that Olympiakos can force Barcelona to a defeat. Powell is in great form, they have no players missing except Mantzaris, and lot of help is expected from their fans today, generally the climate is excellent for Olympiakos.

Barcelona won against Khimki easier than the final score shows (71:69). They had the control of the match throughout the game, and to the last period Khimki tried to rejoin the game, closed the gap, but never arrived within a realistic threat. The final result is fair as Barca were superior and fully checked the progress of the match.
But for the ACB League Barcelona suffered a shock defeat at home against Caja Laboral (67-69). The Basques took a great victory in Catalonia, a fair result, and it is now very clear that Barcelona without Navarro is a totally different team. If Barcelona will win today, they will be able to see with a different look at the remaining four games, as they will be on top of the group with three wins over the second position, however, this can work negatively to the approach of the game. Anyway, there is a good climate in Barcelona, and Navarro is fresh and included in the squad.
Olympiakos loves to play fast basketball when they are at home, the same goes on for Barcelona when they are away, and both teams are scoring generally with ease.
