A lot of results in the Euroleague showed that the Top 16 teams will have many ups and downs in the domestic leagues. So, this time in our betting tips we will not rely on Euroleague teams.
Kifisia is in bad shape and has four straight defeats. The game vs Panionios is crucial for both teams because the visitors are last with only three wins. Kifisia plays slow tempo basketball and Panionios will not have the chance to run. The line is low but we suggest the under option.
The latest games of Aris have total score bigger than the line (145,5) of the game against Rethymno. But these games were against Olympiacos, Panathinaikos and two of the best run ‘n gun teams in the Greek League, AEK and Trikala. Rethymno on the other hand pays attention to the defense and is expected that the total points will not be more than 145,5 points.
Fuenlabrada must continue without its effort to survive without Jimmy Baron, the second scorer of the team, after Andy Panko. The game against Valencia will be hard and is expected that the visitors will not score more than 70 points. In their defeats they score less than the line.
Borse Baskets suffered a bad loss by Bayern in the Eurocup, while was in great form. The next game is against Goettingen and the players of Trinchieri are going to “destroy” their opponents to prove that they are back. The handicap is too big (15,5 points) but Brose is expected to win easier.
We chose also one more game from the German league. Ludwigsburg has three wins with double digits in row and Mitteldeutscher has seven defeats in row though the excellent start in the season! The handicap is small and we bet on the hosts.
