Euroleague Basketball Predictions

Game 4 in the Euroleague play-offs in Munich and Monaco might book empty places in the Final 4. Or will there be a Game 5 next week?

Our EuroLeague basketball tips appear under each mini game preview.

Monaco – Olympiacos

Olympiacos is one win away from making their first Final Four appearance since 2017. Monaco needs a win in the playoffs for the series to return to Greece for a fifth and final game. Game 4’s keys to victory are listed below.

Monaco leads the playoffs in steals with 7.7 per night, but all other hustling metrics need to improve. In the first three postseason games, it ranks second-to-last in blocks (1.3 per game) and sixth in offensive rebounds (7.3 orpg.). Monaco’s top concern should be to protect its rim, as Olympiacos has made 61.0 percent of its two-point attempts in this series. More missed shots result in more defensive rebounds, giving Mike James, Paris Lee, and Dwayne Bacon a better chance to get open jumpers in transition. Monaco could be able to tie the series if Donatas Motiejunas and Donta Hall can help win the battle on the boards.

Slowing down James is critical for Olympiacos to have a greater chance of winning any game against Monaco. In Game 2, James scored 23 points on 5-for-8 three-point shooting in Monaco’s lone victory of the series. In his team’s Game 1 and Game 3 losses, he averaged 11.5 points on 3-for-13 shooting from outside the arc. The Reds count on Walkup and Dorsey to keep James under control. Cutting down on turnovers — the Reds had 15 in Game 3 and 20 in Game 2 – should also benefit head coach Bartzokas’ squad. Running its attack via Sloukas and Vezenkov has resulted in two wins so far, but the Reds may need one more player to have a breakout game if they want to win the series early.

Tip: 1 & Monaco Over 80 at 6.50

Bayern – Barcelona

Barcelona welcomes Bayern Munich in Game 4 of their (best-of-five) playoff series, with the visitors leading 2-1 and needing only one more win to return to the Final Four. Bayern’s best chance of bringing the series back to Barcelona is to offer their fans a home win.

Bayern scored 90 points in their solitary win of the series, but only 66.5 points on average in its two losses. Bayern shot 13 of 27 three-pointers (48.1 percent) in Game 2, but only 4 of 24 in Game 3. (16.7 percent ). With fresh players rising up, the hosts need a spark on offence. In Game 2, Thomas and Obst provided that spark, combining for 40 points on 10-for-14 three-point shooting, but in Game 3, they combined for just 6 points without a triple. Head coach Trinchieri will undoubtedly make changes to ensure that others, such as Lucic (14.0 ppg.) and Rubit (10.7 ppg.) continue to score and keep the Barcelona defence guessing about where the points will come from.

In Game 3, Mirotic was really the difference-maker with 25 points, 6 rebounds, and a PIR of 31. Scoring 19 points and having a PIR of 24, Davies was instrumental in Game 1. Head coach Jasikevicius should make getting his big men engaged a priority. So far, Kuric and Abrines have combined for 4-for-20 (30.0 percent 3FG) shooting, and it’ll only be a matter of time before they hit their stride. Preventing Lucic from obtaining one-on-one opportunities on defence should be a top priority. To stop him, Barca enlists the help of Exum and Smits.

Tip: Over 151.5 at 1.95

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.

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 Final, Predictions

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
