Olympiacos are hosted by Milan, they have the upper hand for the win and it looks like the away win can be confirmed in our bets as well. Eurohoops analyzes the games of the EuroLeague in terms of betting.
Efes – Darussafaka
Efes have dropped out of the top eight as they have only two wins in the last seven games, both of them against Galatasaray. Will they manage to beat Darussafaka who are coming off two wins in a row and have a 10-8 record? The game is rather hard to call and because of the handicap perhaps Darussafaka have a small advantage. However, it’s preferable to bet on the Over since both teams tend to go to a fast paced game. The limit is at 160,5 points (@Stoiximan 1,75) and both teams can go over it.
Bamberg – Real
Bamberg are coming off two defeats in a row by Unics and CSKA, both away. The Germans want to continue the counteroffensive they launched in the second half of the first phase and make up the lost ground of the close defeats. Real are not very convincing with their performance in terms of duration away from home and what’s already hard for them becomes even harder since they won’t have Doncic on their roster in Germany. How easy is it going to be to win by more than 5,5 points? Not very. It’ll be better to vote on the Over, since the limit is at 161,5 points (@Sportingbet 1,73) and both teams usually have a bigger point total in their games.
Milan – Olympiacos
Milan are coming off the win over Galatasaray that put a stop in the streak of ten consecutive defeats, but they’ve still remained in the last place of the standings. The Italians are disappointed, they see EuroLeague games as procedural, they have the worst defense in the competition and show no signs of improvement so Olympiacos must win this. The Red-and-whites want to stay in the hunt for second place and have to confirm their good form by winning this game. The handicap of 4,5 points (@Bet365 1,76) is very small and they are expected to exceed it relatively easily.
The picks
Efes – Darussafaka Over 160,5 points
Bamberg – Real Over 161,5 points
Milan – Olympiacos (+4,5) 2
