The weekend’s games for the domestic leagues are in front of us and Eurohoops distinguished the most interesting and gives you some tips. Read our predictions for Gottingen-Bonn, Olympiacos-Kolossos, Murcia-Sevilla, Brose Baskets-Ulm, Laboral-Bilbao.
The base in out predictions will be the games from Liga Endesa. Laboral is in crisis, the rumors for Vujacic are creating mess and everybody in the team has mentioned the local derby vs Bilbao as the game which must be the turning point in their route. Laboral doesn’t play well but they are focused on this game and can win by more than 7 points, as Mumbru is sidelined.
Also, Murcia is in good shape (2-1 victories) and Seville still wants to celebrate its first win in the domestic league because in the Eurocup has 2-0 wins. The handicap is too high (8,5 points) and of course the visitors can defend it.
The most interesting game in Germany is the Brose Baskets-Ulm which expected to be high scoring. The hosts score 82,4 points per game and the visitors 80,2, so we can rely on the option of over (158,5 points).
Moreover, the huge upset of Gottingen over Bayern last week didn’t change the level of the team and of course this result may effect on the players’ attitude. Bonn is very good team, especially on road and can win by more than 3 points.
Finally, Olympiacos hasn’t still found rhythm in his game after the loss by Panathinaikos and Bartzokas’ resignation. On the other hand, Kolossos tries to avoid relegation, hasn’t deep roster and the Reds can win easily by more than 22 points.
