Once again the Euroleague betting tips of Eurohoops were excellent having 4/5 right predictions. This weekend we will go against the home straight wins of Unicaja (vs Laboral) and Bilbao (vs Andorra). Also, Galatasaray and Banvit are expected to score a lot.
This weekend in the Greek league will be held only the derby at Thessaloniki with Aris having more chances to beat PAOK. The hosts are in excellent shape and at home they control their games. In any game like this it’s hard to predict the winner, but the visitors have huge last minute problems, as soon as Kakaroudis got injured and J.R. Bremer left the team. So, we bet on Aris.
Bilbao won eight of its nine home games this season. Andorra on the other hand lost seven of its eight on road games. BUT in the last three of them fought hard, as soon as won the one and lost by 5 and 3 points the other two. In the same time, Bilbao isn’t use to destroy its rivals and also this week has some injury problems. So, we estimate that the visitors will at least defend the handicap (+11,5) they have in favour.
The same stands also for the Euroleague derby in Liga Endesa, Unicaja-Laboral. The hosts are on the top being perfect at home and the visitors haven’t still won on road. BUT these two teams seem to have different way of shape. Unicaja is getting worse and has three defeats in the last five games. In contrary, Laboral Kutxa won the four of its last five games. So, we bet that the visitors will fight and will win or lose by less than 5 points.
In the German league, Bonn is going very well at home and wants to stay in the top six teams. On the other hand Mitteldeutcher has nine straight defeats, most of them were by huge margin. The difference between the two teams is too big and we think that the hosts will win by more than 11,5 points.
Galatasaray and Banvit will fight hard for the win but we will bet on the over. Both teams use to play run ‘n gun basketball and in their last games score a lot. The line is quite small and we estimate that both teams will score more than 154 points.
