Unicaja faces many injury problems and lately isn’t in good form, so we bet against the leader of the Spanish league. Moreover, we rely on AEK, Koynaspor, Frankfurt and Kifisia.
Banvit has four straight defeats in every competition, while Konyaspor has winning streak of three games and at least looks to be competitive. The visitors at least can defend the handicap of the 7,5 points.
In the Spanish league, Unicaja still leads the standings, but wins almost very game in the details. This time Malaga plays against Tenerife, a team which has seven victories in its last eight home games. Canarias struggles to make it to the playoffs and is expected to win the game or at least defend its handicap.
In the Greek league there are two interesting games. Kolossos and AEK are two of the teams with the best form in the league and the game is expected to be really interesting. Kolossos will have the support of its fans but the visitors have more quality players and are expected to win easily on road.
Also, Kifisia and Trikala will fight hard in “final” for the relegation battle. Kifisia is in very bad mood but has a roster full of stars and can win this crucial game by more than 7 points. The visitors come from two big victories, have an advantage to stay in the first division, but they don’t have the quality to win third game in row.
In the German league, Phoenix Hagen comes from the victory vs Crailsheim, the last team in the standings, and before that suffered four straight defeats. On the other hand, Frankfurt won the eight out of its ten last games and seems to be the favorite to prevail on road. The handicap is small and the visitors can make it.
