Our EuroLeague basketball tips appear under each mini game preview.
CSKA Moscow – Bayern
- Bayern has won only one of eight games against CSKA this century, but it was their last meeting in Moscow.
Two teams in the middle of the pack will clash in Round 12’s first game when CSKA Moscow hosts FC Bayern Munich. CSKA (6-5) split its games in the two-round week, finishing it with a 74-80 road win at Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in which Johannes Voigtmann and Will Clyburn scored 16 points apiece. Bayern (5-6) won both games last week at home; it bested Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul by 8 points behind 22 points from Vladimir Lucic and then beat Panathinaikos OPAP Athens by 3 with Darrun Hilliard scoring 20. The game will mark Hilliard’s first trip back to Moscow after spending the past two seasons with CSKA. Bayern center Othello Hunter also played two seasons for CSKA in the past and helped the team win the EuroLeague in 2019.
Tip: Over 155.5 at 1.90 with bet365
Fenerbahce – Anadolu Efes
- The road team has won the last three games in the Istanbul derby. Fenerbahce is 11-5 up in the Euroleague.
The first Istanbul derby of the 2021-22 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season will take place on Thursday when Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul hosts Anadolu Efes Istanbul. The game catches the two teams in opposite runs of form. While Fenerbahce (3-8) has lost three straight games, Efes (5-6) has reeled off three successive wins. Fenerbahce comes off an 86-75 loss at Zalgiris Kaunas in which Nando De Colo scored 17 points and dished 5 assists. Efes trounced AS Monaco 98-77 on Friday behind 17 points and a career-high 7 assists from Rodrigue Beaubois. The two teams last met in the Turkish League last month when Fenerbahce routed Efes 90-68 at home behind 17 points from Devin Booker. Their last three EuroLeague clashes have gone the way of the visitors, with Efes winning two of those.
Tip: 2 (-3.5) at 1.86 with bet365
Panathinaikos – Zenit
- Zenit swept Panathinaikos last season. Panathinaikos did the same a year before that.
Panathinaikos OPAP Athens looks to end a five-game slide when it hosts red-hot Zenit St Petersburg, which has won five in a row. Panathinaikos (2-9) came up short in Germany on Thursday against FC Bayern Munich despite 12 points and 6 assists from Daryl Macon Jr., who has been the Greens’ most dangerous offensive weapon this season. Zenit (8-3) outlasted AX Armani Exchange Milan in Round 11 behind 17 points from Jordan Mickey. Zenit head coach Xavi Pascual returns to the Greek capital, where he spent parts of three seasons as Panathinaikos coach between 2016 and 2018. Last season under Pascual, Zenit defeated Panathinaikos twice by an average margin of victory of 20.5 points.
Tip: Panathinaikos Over 73.5 at 1.83 with bet365
ALBA Berlin – Maccabi
- Maccabi has a 13-1 record in games against ALBA this century.
ALBA Berlin will look to snap a three-game losing streak when the German champs host Israeli champion Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv. ALBA (3-8) is 1-4 at home this season and lost its most recent home game by 27 points to Anadolu Efes Istanbul in Round 9. Maccabi (7-4) had won five in a row before dropping two of its last three. Both of those losses came on the road, where Maccabi is 2-3 this season. Maccabi comes off its worst loss of the season, a 17-point defeat at the hands of Olympiacos Piraeus. ALBA boasts two players who know Maccabi well; swingman Yovel Zoosman spent the past four seasons with the club and point guard Tamir Blatt, whose father David coached Maccabi to the 2014 EuroLeague title, spent the last three seasons with Maccabi’s archrival Hapoel Jerusalem.
Tip: 2 (-4.5) at 1.90 with bet365
Baskonia – Real Madrid
- Baskonia holds a 7-5 edge over Real in their head-to-head EuroLeague games.
Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz comes off an eventful week and will now host Spanish League foe Real Madrid in its third straight home game. Baskonia (4-7) made a coaching change last week and it resulted in a Round 10 victory over Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade before it suffered a narrow loss to CSKA Moscow in Round 11. With more time to introduce plans from Coach Never Spahija, Baskonia should be looking more dangerous from game to game. Real (9-2) has won four games in a row and is now tied for first place. Last week Los Blancos bested LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in France before topping Zvezda at home. These teams met most recently at the end of October in the Spanish League and Real strolled to a 65-83 road win courtesy of Vincent Poirier’s double-double. The same Poirier spent two seasons in Vitoria-Gasteiz and was a member of the All-EuroLeague Team in 2018-19 as a Baskonia player.
Tip: 2 (-5.5) at 1.95 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)

They could be rice seeds, lentils or anything you might imagine.
Long-term Predictions – Wait and… win!
Long-term betting is a popular way of betting especially in the beginning of the season and before the biggest tournaments. However, with a few tips on selecting the right long-term predictions it can become even more profitable. Even during the season or after a specific tournament has started.
You will find the term ‘long-term’ also as ante post betting, which is exactly the same thing.

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
