After the first week in the Euroleague, Eurohoops expands its predictions to all the European domestic championships and gives you some betting tips for the weekend’s games.
Laboral won its firsEuroleague t game against Neptunas after three defeats in row and gained back its lost confidence. Andora isn’t so strong and it’s expected to lose by more than 5 points…
The next strong tip we have comes from the Greek league. Panionios played the first week with 10 Greek U20 players but its roster will be different against AEK. Veterans like Verginis, Xanthopoulos, Korolev, Fitzpatrick can give to their team the chance to fight until the end and defend at least the handicap (+11,5 points).
The second interesting game from the same league will be held in Rhodes. Kolossos isn’t as good as anybody thought after first week’s triumph against Panionios. Panathinaikos can win the game by more than 11,5 points.
Unicaja is the heavy favorite vs Manresa but the line (+19,5) is too high. Joan Plaza’s players started their Euroleague games and they usually don’t destroy their rivals, as they have to keep their strengh for mid-week games. Our thoughts are similar also for the game Trier-Brose Baskets. The hosts can at least lose by less than 7 points.
