Relegation

Recent history and team news

In the last 5 recorded matches between the two teams, Olympiacos has 5 wins compared to none for Aris. Their most recent encounter was in April 2026, where Olympiacos prevailed at home with 92-81, while in their previous visit to Alexandreio in January 2026 they had won with 95-84.

In terms of team news, Tyler Dorsey's suspension for Olympiacos has ended, and he has returned to training, but will not be included in the squad for the game against Aris. At the same time, the "red and whites" are looking in the market for a player to cover the absence of Jan Montero in the backcourt.

Predictions and match assessment

The match is expected to be highly competitive. Aris takes advantage of their strong home court at Nick Galis Hall, as demonstrated in their victory over Panathinaikos, and scores high in their home games. Olympiacos has superior quality and squad depth, but fatigue from continuous Euroleague commitments and the pressure of Aris' home court may keep the game close.
