Many big games will be played this week for Euroleague and we try to guide you to betting success with fivetips. Fenerbahce has the advantage to beat Olympiacos. Also, Panathinaikos is going to score a lot against Zalgiris. However Niznhy, Unicaja and Milan are expected to keep the score low.
Fenerbahce is in good shape and tries to change its game after Zisis’ addition. Olympiacos is also in good form but it will be hard to prevail in Istanbul. The Turkish team has the advantage to win the game. Also it’s expected that Fenerbahce will control the rhythm of the game and probably the total points will be more than 150.
Panathinaikos is a totally different team at home and we will rely on the “killing instinct” of Ivanovic’ players when they play in front of their fans. The Greens score 70 points per game on road and 83 at home. Zalgiris‘ defense is not that solid and we believe that Panathinaikos will score more than 78,5 points.
Also, Niznhy is a totally different team in defeats. We expect that Laboral will win the game in Vitoria but the handicap is tricky. So, we will bet on the under 75,5 points from Nizhny because the Russian team scored 63, 66, 55 and 60 points in each of its four defeats, excluding the games against Real. In the two losses by the Madridistas, Niznhy scored 98 and 83 point, but this an other story and has to do with Real…
Unicaja and Milan are two of the three teams (Olympiacos is the third one) that play in the slowest tempo in Euroleague. Their games have fewer possessions than any other and it’s expected that the final score in their contest will not be high. The line is big and we bet on under 150 points.
