Eurohoops welcomes you to the new column of betting advices. We “studied” the upcoming games in the Euroleague, searched around the world for the prices and suggest you five tips to bet.
We will publish our tips twice a week (midweek for the Euroleague & Eurocup games and weekends for the domestic leagues games) and we start with the matches of the first week in Euroleague.
Efes Anadolu lost by Gaziantep in Turkey, Saric’s father talked against Duda and usually this kind of mess gives motivation to Ivkovic and his players. The match against Unics is very hard but the Turks have depth in their bench, can control the rhythm of the game and win by 4 points or more. Also, both coaches pay attention to the defense and love the set game, so it’s wise to bet on under 143,5 points in total.
Unicaja is in good shape and has many players with Euroleague experience. Cedevita will fight every game at home but the start of this season isn’t that promising for the Croatian club. The Spaniards are expected to win easily.
Last season Valencia had many high scoring games especially at home. Bartzokas left from Olympiacos’ bench but the instinct of its players will push them more to a run ‘n gun game. So, we bet on over 155,5 points in total in their encounter.
Alba is furious. The players of Sasa Obradovic celebrated already six straight victories – including one over the Spurs – and against CSKA at least they can fight until the last moment. The Russians have injury problems, lost by Lokomotiv and show that they need time.
