LA BANDA, Argentina (Interstat) — Olimpico will look to secure its first win of the season Wednesday when it hosts Atenas at Estadio Vicente Rosales in La Banda, Argentina. Both teams enter the game with 0-1 records, making the matchup an early opportunity to avoid a deeper slide in the standings.

Atenas is coming off a road loss, falling 83-77 at Quimsa in its most recent game. The visiting side struggled to close the gap late after Quimsa controlled key stretches. Atenas will need stronger execution on both ends against an Olimpico team eager to bounce back at home.

Olimpico opened its season with a home loss, dropping an 82-74 decision to Platense in its last outing. Olimpico could not overcome Platense’s second-half push and will now try to use home court to even its record. The home side is expected to lean on its scoring balance and defensive pressure in front of its own crowd.

The game marks an important early test for two clubs still searching for rhythm. Atenas will aim to dictate tempo and limit turnovers, while Olimpico will try to establish an inside presence and create second-chance opportunities. Both teams have shown they can score, but each is seeking more consistency on defense after opening-week defeats.

The matchup will be Atenas’ second consecutive road game to begin the season. Atenas opened with a trip to Quimsa and will now face another difficult environment at Estadio Vicente Rosales. Olimpico, meanwhile, will play its second straight home game after opening against Platense. The home team will try to take advantage of familiar surroundings and avoid an 0-2 start.

Atenas will return home after Wednesday for a stretch of games. Its upcoming schedule includes home matchups against Ferro Carril Oeste, Lanús, Racing de Chiv, Gimnasia Indalo, San Lorenzo, Instituto Cordoba, Boca Juniors and Peñarol, along with road games at La Union and Obera. Olimpico’s schedule features home games against Boca Juniors, Peñarol, Lanús, Instituto Cordoba, Ferro Carril Oeste and Independiente, plus road contests at Regatas Corrientes, San Martin, Racing de Chiv and Argentino de Junin.

For Atenas, the focus will be on recovering from the Quimsa loss and finding offensive balance. For Olimpico, the priority is protecting home court and correcting the issues that surfaced against Platense. The matchup could hinge on which team handles pressure better in the final minutes.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Olimpico 86, Atenas 81. That projection gives Olimpico a five-point edge at home as both teams pursue their first win of the season.
