With the 20th round of EuroLeague upon us, Eurohoops makes five betting picks from the upcoming games. Scroll down to see them all.
Fenerbahce – Olympiacos U 160.5 / 1.67
Both Olympiacos and Fenerbahce have a solid defense and if they do not shoot at extraordinary odds then the under has a very good chance of being confirmed. At the same time, we expect to see a close game that will probably be determined in details. Blatt’s team can claim the victory in Istanbul until the end and after that, but the Turks are rightfully the favorite of the match.
Maccabi – Panathinaikos 1 (-3.5) / 1.75
Maccabi looks better than Pitino’s team despite the reinforcement of the Greens ahead of this do or die game. Panathinaikos has a bad streak away from the OAKA and that leads us to the handicap ace.
Olimpia Milan – Zalgiris 2 (+4.5) / 1.90
The difference between the two teams is not as great as the odds show. Milan has a lot of ups and downs in its performance and despite the remarkable roster and its good progress so far it still does not convince us that it deserves our confidence in such low odds.
Khimki – Bayern Munich 2 (+4.5) / 1.75
Coach Kurtinaitis has taken the place of George Bartzokas in Khimki. We usually avoid betting teams that change coaches – and at the same time their entire psychology – but the column considers that the Munich team will be in excellent condition.
