After one more successful week in the Euroleague with 4/5 betting tips, we will focus on the weekend’s games. Once again Galatasaray seems to be the weak team in which we will bet against. There are interesting games also in Spain.
First of all we will focus on the Turkish derby. Besiktas won last week its first game after six straight defeats. Galatasaray has a similar record (one win in the last six games) but the difference between the two team is big. The visitors have to handle the absences and the tiredness because they will play less than 48 hours after their Euroleague game.
Tenerife is in great form having five victories in its last seven games (lost only to Barcelona and Real on the road). Andorra fights to avoid the relegation, the team isn’t so good lately and its only victory during 2015 was against Manresa. Teneriffe can win with ease.
Unicaja last week lost by Manresa, it’s not a steady unit and that’s because its small rotation. Valencia on the other hand, is in excellent shape, beat Bayern in the Eurocup and at least can lose by less than 5 points.
Rethymno struggles to secure the playoffs but the team is in a kind of a slup. During the last nine games, they beat only Panionios by five points and Koroivos after overtime. Panelefsiniakos fights to avoid the relegation, it’s expected to fight and the handicap (10,5) is huge, so we will bet on the visitors.
Trabzonspor comes from a tiring week in which they played three games, twice Saratov for the Eurochallenge and had to travel to Russia. Darussafaka has a great team, rested players, wants to climb to the first two places of the standings and can get the win with ease.
