There are some really good chances for profit in the second week in the Euroleague and Eurohoops provides you with some tips for the upcoming games. Read our predictions on Neptunas-Red Star, Galatasaray–Valencia, Bayern-Panathinaikos, Unicaja-Alba and Sassari-Efes.
The strongest tip for the second week in the Euroleague may be the win of Red Star in Klaipeda. The easy victory against Galatasaray was not only a matter of the fans and the home court, but also a proof that the very good team of Radonjic is obviously better than Neptunas, probably the weakest team in the competition. The handicap (5,5 points) is low, so we bet on Red Star.
Also, Unicaja rides a great start in the season with four wins in Liga Endesa and the Euroleague but the line in the game against Alba is too high. The Germans are expected to fight until the end and at least can lose by less than 9 points.
Moreover, we will bet on “over” in three games. Bayern-Panathinaikos and Sassari-Efes are expected to be high scoring affairs because three of those teams (with the possible exception of Efes) have in their mind to run and gun. So, even if the line is high, the option of over is quite safe.
In the addition, Valencia is also a team which likes to play up tempo and in Istanbul Galatasaray will try to do the same. So, they can both score more than 146,5 points.
