Euroleague Preview – Match Day 10 – At the 1/3 of the road

Euroleague Preview & Tips

Regular season Round 10 delivers another set of mouth-watering fixtures in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague. It includes Fenerbahce v Real Madrid, a rematch of a playoff series from last season and Barcelona v Panathinaikos where Pasqual returns to his long-time home in an historic match-up.

Thursday’s matches

Thursday’s first-tip off comes from Kazan, where Unics (2-7) will look to climb off the foot of the standings and change its status as the league’s last-ranked team in assists (14.9 per game) against a visiting EA7 Emporio Armani Milan (4-5) team which has regularly shone in that aspect, twice setting a new club record for assists in the opening nine rounds to amass an average of 18.33 per game. This could be too close to call but we fancy Milan at 2.70 with bet365.

The Game of the Week presents a rematch of last season’s playoff duel between host Fenerbahce Istanbul and Real Madrid, which the Turkish team swept 3-0 to end the title defense of the Spanish giants. Third-placed Fenerbahce (6-3) boasts the league’s second-best three point shooting accuracy (41%), while second-placed Madrid (7-2) will search for a fourth consecutive victory behind the top-ranked two-point conversion rate (56.2%), a category in which Fenerbahce is dead last (48.8%). The hosts are 1.90 to win covering the handicap of -1.5 points.

First-place CSKA Moscow (8-1) is heading on the road to face Brose Bamberg (2-7), and after setting a new club record for points last week (112) the Russian team is firmly installed as the league’s top-scoring team (93.7 points per game). Bamberg has good shooting accuracy, ranked fourth in true shooting percentage (50.8%), but is last in both offensive rebounds (6.67 per game) and steals (3.44 per game). This game could hide an upset for the Euroleague leaders. Bamberg’s 3.40 also hides some great value.

After reaching triple figures twice in the last three games, Anadolu Efes Istanbul (4-5) travels to in-form Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv (5-4) which has won three in a row. Expect a high-scoring game between two potent offenses: Efes ranks third in the league with 87.6 points per game, with Maccabi close behind on 83.22 per game. The battle in the paint could be key, with Efes scoring more two-pointers than any other team (24 per game) while Maccabi ranks fourth with an average of 22.9. It feels like Maccabi can make it 4 in a row and the pick is to cover the -5.5 handicap offered at 1.90 with bet365.

Friday’s matches

Friday’s action begins in Istanbul with two teams gunning for their sixth wins, Darussafaka Dogus and visiting Olympiacos Piraeus. Both have struggled with sharing the ball, ranking 14th and 15th in assists respectively, but the visiting team will look to use its inside dominance: Olympiacos has claimed 37.4 rebounds per game, second-best in the league, compared to bottom-ranked Darussafaka’s average of 30.2 boards. This could be a spectacular game to watch and Over 154.5 points is our pick.

In Belgrade, Crvena Zvezda (4-5) hosts a Zalgiris Kaunas team (3-6) looking for its first road win of the season. These two teams are the worst-ranked in overall performance index rating, with Zalgiris (80.1 per game), averaging higher than Zvezda (73). No team has allowed fewer points than Zvezda’s miserly average of 74.9 per game, but Zalgiris will look to get second scoring chances through its excellent offensive rebounding skills after averaging 14.3 offensive boards per game, second best in the league. Hard to call; it will be tight. We will back Zalgiris’ handicap at +5.0 at the price of 1.90 with bet365.

As if the storied rivalry between FC Barcelona Lassa and Panathinaikos Athens needed any more fuel to the fire, a new element is provided this week as the visiting team’s coach Xavi Pascual returns for the first time to his former long-time home. Only Barcelona (18.3 per game) has scored fewer two-pointers than Panathinaikos (18.7 per game) but the Greek team has a major advantage from downtown, averaging a league-best 9.9 triples compared to just 6.8 per game from the Spanish host. However, we expect this encounter will be decided on the defense of the two teams and Under 151.5 points is our prediction.

Finally, Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (5-4) welcomes Galatasaray Odeabank Istanbul (3-6) and defensive rebounds should work in favour of the host, which ranks second in the league (25.8 per game) while Galatasaray averages a league-low 20.2. But the Turkish team ranks highly in several performance categories including points (83.8 per game, 5th), assists (20 per game, 3rd) and blocked shots (4.1 per game, 2nd) and will be determined to gain its first road win. Galatasaray has been improving during the past weeks and they could at least hold the difference of +7.5 points given as a handicap.
