After one more successful week in the Euroleague with 4/5 tips, we keep on with the domestic leagues. We bet on Olympiacos, Laboral, Istanbul, Apollon and Braunsweig.
The derby in the Basques country has a favorite and this is Laboral. Bilbao hosts the game, has a great season and four more victories than its rival. But the visitors are in great shape with four straight wins and due to the quality difference, they can prevail over Bilbao.
Olympiacos didn’t play very well against Unicaja, Sfairopoulos will push his players to play harder and the game against Trikala is offered to the Reds for a practice before the game against Milano. The match will be held behind closed doors, the hosts will have many changes in their roster. So, the visitors can win by more than 20 points.
Apollon Patron is in excellent shape having six wins and only two defeats (by Olympiacos and Panathinaikos) in its last eight games. Kolossos isn’t stable, has made again changes in its roster and the visitors will probably win the game.
Alba was on the verge of making the “miracle” against Barcelona despite the absences. But usually after such “nearly miracle” the teams don’t play so well. Moreover, Alba has to handle once again the injuries of McLean and Hammonds and the suspension of Obradovic and Renfroe. On the other hand, Braunsweig is a competitive team who won its six out of last seven home games. So, we bet that the hosts will defend at least the handicap.
Selcuk fights hard to avoid the relegation but has only one win in the last ten games, while Istanbul BSB is in good form with four straight victories. It’s expected that the visitors will win the game.
