Beating Trento, Olimpia Milano won its third consecutive league victory and closed the week in the best way possible (last Friday, the success in the Euroleague derby of Italy against Virtus Bologna). At this point, Coach Messina’s team is playing for everything in about four weeks. Up for grabs are the Euroleague play-in and possible first place at the end of the regular season in Serie A.

As for the Euroleague, Thursday will be the decisive day, as Olimpia will be on the court of Maccabi for the final day of the regular season. A win is needed and then hope for simultaneous defeats by Efes, which is awaiting the challenge, at home, against Red Star (scheduled for Thursday) and Partizan, engaged with Valencia at Stark Arena (Friday).

In the league, Olimpia still faces Treviso (away from home), Scafati (at home), Brescia (at home) and Cremona (away). At the moment, the red-and-whites are second in the standings, with the same points as Virtus Bologna, -2 from leading Brescia. Therefore, the penultimate day (April 28) when the red-and-whites will challenge, at the Forum, precisely Brescia, could be decisive. It should be remembered that, in the first match, the Leonessa è imposed 72-64.
