Euroleague Basketball Predictions

Enjoy every single game preview of this season’s 34-round regular season and our expert Euroleague predictions.

Our EuroLeague basketball tips appear under each mini game preview.

UNICS Kazan – Crvena Zvezda

UNICS had three consecutive losses before rebounding back last week to defeat Zalgiris in Kaunas. UNICS dominated the boards with 15 offensive rebounds and 12 steals in the victory. All season, dominating the hustle numbers has been a successful formula for UNICS. It leads the league in thefts per game (9.4 per game) and has also caused the most turnovers (15.3 per game). Furthermore, UNICS has held opponents to 32.4 percent shooting from downtown, which is the league’s second-best mark. When these teams last played in Round 12, UNICS erupted for 98 points, but even if it cannot score as easily this time, dominating the hustle metrics might be vital for UNICS.

Zvezda lost twice in a row in Belgrade last week after surprising Olympiacos in Round 23 in Piraeus. Getting back on track in Kazan will be difficult. It will be difficult to outgun UNICS, but Zvezda has the means to slow the game, take good care of the ball, and make a difference on the boards. Zvezda ranks seventh in the league in offensive rebounds (10.7 per game) and boasts seasoned leaders in Nate Wolters, Nikola Ivanovic, and Nikola Kalinic to counter UNICS’ defensive pressure. Zvezda is no stranger to all-out effort, and that is exactly what will be required to defeat UNICS in Kazan.

Tip: 1 (-6.5) at 1.90 with bet365

ASVEL Villeurbanne – Panathinaikos

ASVEL Lighty finally returns in action and eager to support his club, according to Villeurbanne. Because Okobo, Howard, and Diot are still out, Jones and Lacombe will divide the point guard responsibilities. Lighty and Knight, who is coming off his finest game of the season (21 points, 12 rebounds, 30 PIR versus Anadolu Efes), should receive the most of the wing action. ASVEL surrenders 79.7 points per game on average, enabling opponents to shoot a league-high 57.3 percent from inside the arc. Better paint defence and rebounding the ball on defence might be the first steps toward improving its defensive stats.

In this game, Panathinaikos is counting on Nedovic and Macon to make the difference. Because the Greens are missing Papapetrou, Sant-Roos and Okaro White could see more playing time versus ASVEL. Panathinaikos should take use of its size advantage with Evans and, in particular, Papagiannis around the basket. The Greens are averaging 14.3 assists per game this season, which ranks them 16th in the league, but that figure jumps to 18.8 (sixth in the league) when they win. Panathinaikos might have a better chance of winning its first away game this season if Lefteris Bochoridis keeps Jones from hitting the hoop.

Tip: 2 at 2.30 with bet365

Real Madrid – Barcelona

Following a setback on Tuesday in which it achieved just 51 points, and having previously lost to Barcelona this season, Real must come out firing in the great derby. This squad averages 71.5 points per game this season, which is the second-lowest in the league, but its worst defensive performance of the season occurred in Round 14, when it conceded 93 points to Barcelona. It was also one of the few games this season in which Real lost the rebounding battle. Real is the strongest rebounding club in the league, averaging 38.2 per game, and it has to display similar dominance against its opponent.

Barcelona has defeated Madrid twice this season, once at home in Round 14 and again on the road in late January in the Spanish League. Barcelona showed excellent patience on offence in each of those games, employing outstanding ball movement to locate open shooters but also to generate opportunities that allowed the squad go to the free-throw line frequently. Moving the ball properly will again be crucial for Barcelona in the El Clásico.

Tip: Winning Margin 7-way 1-5 points at 2.60 with bet365

Do not get confused with basketball predictions

Bet365 and other bookmakers list the visitors in the NBA first. In LiveTipster.com we always list the home team first on our basketball predictions.

You can also check our football predictions today.

What basketball predictions do we provide?

We are confident to say that this is one of the most successful basketball prediction sites regarding the Euroleague (mainly), the EuroCup, the Basketball Champions League (by FIBA) and all major competitions in Europe (Spain ACB, Greece Basket League, Italy Serie A). But when the NBA is on, then we focus on NBA predictions.

We use a staking system that you are free to follow but it is for our own use. We normally increase the stake when we lose and decrease it when we lose.

What are the markets of our basketball predictions?

The advantage of offering basketball predictions on big games and popular leagues or tournaments is massive. There are more markets available and the information is greater and easier to reach.

However, just like in football predictions, it is better to work out which markets suit your style of play, which are you better at and try to concentrate on them.

This is what we do. We have a list of maximum 5-6 favourite markets that we usually choose from. Only in specific cases we would bet on markets out of our list and this helps in the consistency of our gaming style. It also keeps the odds within a narrow range which is great for the staking strategy we use.

So, without any further ado, our basketball predictions come from the following markets in a typical NBA or Euroleague game:

Money Line (home win or away win)
Spread (handicap points difference)
Total Points (Over or Under)
Alternative Spread (not the main handicap difference provided by the bookmaker).
Alternative Total Points (not the main Over or Under limit provided by the bookmaker).
Match Result and Total (ie. Home team to win & Over 156.5 points)
Winning Margin 3-way (will it be a close game, typically 1-5 points difference either way? Or will it be 6 or more and for which team?)
Double Result (Half Time / Full Time)

Thers is one more market that we always check and prefer for live betting and it is the following:

Race to 10 points
or Race to 20 points

These are the main markets you will see in this page. Every day we update our tips. Good luck on your picks, too. Anyway… (read below)

Disclaimer: This is not investment or gambling advice. Always conduct your own independent research. Also, the numbers of the column bet are not equivalent to any currency but show an analogy depending on the previous bets, won or lost. They could be rice seeds, lentils or anything you might imagine.

What to expect

Long-term bets are usually considered bets of instinct. Everyone has read or heard the stories how some Leicester fans had predicted that their team would win the Premier League in 2016 at some crazy odds.

Those are isolated cases. My tactics, which I list under the following table as well as in the Long-Term betting category, are clear. Sometimes there is instinct included (look at Portugal winning the Euro 2016). In other cases it is reading the game of a team, having the knowledge of them and their competitors.

Overall, my long-term bets are a result of every day news, statistics, knowledge and instinct.

At the end of the day, if you have neither the knowledge of a sport or the instinct, why bet on it?

Euroleague Basketball Predictions

The Euroleague Final fot in the Final Four will be between Real Madrid and Anadolu Efes. Check our expert Euroleague predictions.

Our EuroLeague Final 4 tips appear under each mini game preview.

Real Madrid vs Efes Anadolu

Real Madrid has 26 wins against Efes, that has 13.

Anadolu Efes and Real Madrid will meet for the first time in the EuroLeague Championship Game, but they have played many important games recently, including the 2021 play-offs series, which Efes won and then went on to win the title in the Final Four a few weeks later.

In the current campaign, Real and Efes have met twice. Real trounced Efes 82-69 in their season opener, with newcomers Heurtel and Yabusele each scoring 18 points. Efes defeated Real 93-90 in Round 31 almost six months later, with Micic scoring 29 points.

The championship game in 2022 will be the latest chapter in this developing rivalry. It’s a defining moment for both, and only the victor will be fulfilled.

The final is completely unpredictable; we like Real’s victory at the odds of 2.00, but we will also predict two players’ special bets. Real Madrid’s Causeur proved in the semi-final that he is a big game player, and his job will be even more essential with Williams-Goss out, while Yabusele is testing his hand a lot, and the odds on the market of Over 1.5 three-point attempts are worth it from every angle!

Tip: Real Madrid win at 2.00

Tip 2: Causer Over 8.5 points at 1.90

Tip 3: Yabusele Over 1.5 three-point shot (scored) at 2.15
