The Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season Round 6 schedule is expected to be highlighted by Shane Larkin returning to action. However, we will skip Anadolu Efes visiting Olympiacos at least until the tip-off unable to detect betting value mainly due to the complications generated by Larkin’s season debut.
Our tips prior to the start of games scheduled for Thursday and Friday extend into a couple of other interesting matchups, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv versus Fenerbahce Beko and TD Systems Baskonia against FC Barcelona.
Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv – Fenerbahce Beko 1 / 1.76, U 158.5 / 1.71
Giannis Sfairopoulos’ side confirmed us last week in Russia building up our trust and stretching us to its upcoming challenge in Europe’s premier club competition. The Israeli powerhouse far from its best-possible shape remains a quality team.
Fener coming off three consecutive losses including its defeat in Athens that disappointed our column as well. Igor Kokoskov’s ejection likely affected the team versus Panathinaikos OPAP. Anyhow, I can’t see them prevailing in Tel Aviv.
I consider the under set at 158.5 points relatively high for this encounter between effective defensive sides. Last week, the Turkish outlet keeping a low tempo bumped in the under validating our tip.
TD Systems Baskonia – FC Barcelona 2 / 1.47
Moving on to Barca, the side coached by Sarunas Jasikevicius hopes to bounce back after the ACB loss to UCAM Murcia pushing us to a bet on a win over the club based in Vitoria-Gasteiz. These teams often tend to gain focus after unexpected defeats.
Baskonia actually beat Barca about ten days ago. A second win in such a quick turnaround is surely no easy task, which adds value to the visitors claiming the “W” this time around.
Combining Maccabi and Barca wins can strengthen the betting value.
