Hello. Euroleague. A derby between Partizan and Zvezda from Serbia. We are going with Tyrique for over 11.5 points. Tyrique is the main center of the team who receives a lot of playing time. He is very physical and hard to stop when he gets going. We can definitely expect a strong performance from him today, especially in an emotional game like this. In the first game without Zjelko, he scored 21 points. Now in this derby, with the crowd getting energized, I don't think Motiejūnas will be able to hold off Jones. If there are no quick turnovers, we should easily reach this total. Good luck.
Hello.
Euroleague. Monaco against Fenerbahce. We are going with a 6.5 point handicap for Fenerbahce. Both teams are in good form and have their own ambitions for this match. Monaco lost to Fenerbahce in their last encounter and I think they will be seeking revenge. Fenerbahce has a 10 game winning streak and seems to be gaining momentum. Monaco has recently beaten their last three opponents, but those opponents were Paris, Asvel and Efes - teams that aren't doing well this season. It could be that Monaco is overestimating themselves. Defense is not their strongest point and Fenerbahce will definitely take advantage of it. Overall, I think Šaras (coach) is better than Spanoulis, so tactically the team will be better prepared. Fenerbahce had a long break from Euroleague due to playing in Turkey, so I believe they will be well-rested and craving for higher level matches. As I mentioned, Monaco is not a good defensive team, but Fenerbahce can definitely challenge them (although physicality might be on Monaco's side for this day). Both teams have good defenders, but Monaco's tall players are better, although it seems that Spanoulis' strategies are exploiting them. All in all, I see this as a 50/50 match and both teams will have their own motivation. I believe the game will be intense and the large handicap satisfies me. Good luck.
Although the Union team can play decent games, they lack stability, and it is very difficult to expect points when playing against top German teams from the Union side. The 3-game losing streak should continue against Leipzig, who seem very attractive this season and, most importantly, successful.
One of the worst performing away teams this season, Girona looks very poorly and is fighting to avoid relegation. Even in the cup match against a much weaker Ourense team, Girona lost away and with 2 consecutive away defeats, the same result can be expected. Real Sociedad also does not seem to be in top form, but their lineup is intact and they always look strong at home. I think the odds are good for a much stronger team playing at home against a complete underdog.
With such a coefficient, it seems like a 50/50 match to me. The Greek team seems to have a more versatile composition, with various options for attacking, as Barca mainly relies on veterans. Olympiacos has better physical bodies to defend against, and Barca seems more focused on attack according to their formed lineup, which could be a headache for Pascalis. They had a solid performance against Zvezda, but Olympiacos does not seem like a favorable opponent for the Catalans.
Maybe not the fastest teams in terms of pace, but lacking good defenses. Bayern playing with Parker is not the kind of basketball that, in my opinion, should be played with the current lineup. The pace and offensive ratings have also dropped, but the defense remains poor. Dubajus has been playing without a strong defense the entire season, with moments where the defense is very weak, but their lineup is built for a strong offense. With Herbert's return, Bayern's offense should improve.
Serbian derby in the Euroleague. Probably the best match of the round. Partizan fans are not satisfied and it is evident in their chant "Napal" for their team, but things will change here. These games are always the most anticipated in Serbia, with the hostility of the fans. It won't be easy for Crvena Zvezda team today, even though they have a strong and long-standing team, but they always struggle as visitors. We are going with Partizan, where the home factor plays a big role and we will take advantage of that. Good luck.
Both teams are showing good form, the coefficient is equal and it shows it. Barcelona is having a good stretch, and if it wasn't for the loss against Anadolu, they would have had an excellent streak because they were the better team in that match, but luck was not on their side. Olympiacos has a deeper rotation with equal players and is a strong contender in the Greek league standings.
Although Colson may not play many minutes, I would say he has that engine that he can use well against a team like Monaco, playing with emotions and causing difficulties. He is a particularly effective sixth player for Fener, so the over bet is relatively reasonable at this coefficient.
An inadequately high coefficient, yes, Monaco is strong at home, but not strong enough for such a coefficient. Fener can slow down the pace, although they are weaker physically, but tactically they are better prepared as a team, which is why I believe it's worth trying to catch them. The form is really good and after a few games the players are starting to understand what Šaras demands, although the team is far from its peak form, however, improvements can be seen in individual matches.
The coefficient is disproportionately high, yes, Monaco is strong at home, but not strong enough to have such a coefficient. Fener can disrupt the pace, although they are physically weaker, but Fener tactically has a better prepared team, which is why I think it is possible to try and catch them. The form is really good and the players understand better what Saras demands, although the team is still far from its peak form, but changes can be seen in separate matches.
