Asvel Villeurbanne - Virtus Bologna

Knowing all the problems that Monaco has been going through recently, it's not surprising that they are not doing well even from a distance. There are internal disagreements in Monaco and players are leaving the team. The last couple of games were played perfectly by Oly, and I believe they will continue this streak. The Serbian player is back from his injuries, and nobody else has any major injuries. They also handle the ball well, both in attacking and defending. If Monaco wins here - I end my career as a predictor.

It seems that there are simply too many problems within the team, and therefore Monaco appears to be very vulnerable. Olympia is a solid team, which I believe is clearly superior. Problems with coaches and finances do not give any hope for Monaco and I hope that Greece will manage to overpower them.

There is no "miraculous" team in Olympiacos that could be given a handicap against Monaco on the road. It's not an ideal situation at the Monaco club, but the situation has improved somewhat and after the dismissal of the coach, there should be some new momentum from the players. A coach is not removed if the players are satisfied with him. Monaco must have something to offer in their attack, as this season Olympiacos does not seem to be confident away from home and often struggles until the end of the match.

Stably, Bacon is averaging 15.4 points per game this season, and today's opponent, Baskonia, has the worst defense in terms of points allowed, giving up over 92 points on average. Even though the game is on neutral ground, it's like playing a home game for Bacon in Dubai, where he has scored at least 15 points in the last six games. It's hard to expect anything different against Baskonia's defense. He could even score 20 on a good day.

I don't know, Baskonia is really playing for honor, while Dubai is playing for a spot in the Play in stage. Dubai looks great for today, with a high-tempo game, scoring a lot of points and appearing to be in good form. I think they can confidently score over one hundred points, although Baskonia seems to have improved their defense lately, slowing down the game more precisely. However, their main weapon is still offense. It all depends on how Baskonia will play, but I believe Dubai will have a fun game and won't look back, as every win is important for them at this stage.

We all understand what the situation is, so there's a high chance that Zalgiris will be very angry, and their chances here are not great. In fact, I would even save the leaders and let the substitutes play to avoid any injuries. It's better to try out different small lineups. We lost by 7 points at home, so I think we'll easily win by 8.5 points in Peru. It's necessary to beat Peru, and I believe they will do their best to earn as many points as possible and be prepared for a scenario similar to Zalgiris' match against Valencia.

Everyone knows all the problems both with the greens and with pAO. The fact that Tubelis and Birutis are traveling together to Athens, I think it won't bring much. Both of them don't perform at their best.
Knowing that Zalgiris falls under a hot pAO hand, losing their recent games in the EL, with a full arena and sold out, I don't see any chances for the greens to fight for the win.
There's not even anything to say about the superior pAO lineup. It's just a different level. Everyone is back, including Lessortas.

According to the pace, Efes is the second team in Euroleague, essentially having the same pace as the weakest team, Milano. Bayern is in the middle of the league's averages. Although they have Euroleague games, the teams are not really competing for anything, as Efes has a challenge against Besiktas in the Turkish league within a few days. I believe that their focus is now somewhat shifting towards local competitions. The offensive ratings of both teams are in the 17-18th places.

The Anadolu team had a disappointing season, but their composition still looked pretty good. However, playing together did not go as well as hoped and as the end of the season approaches, the focus is on improving the game and trying to secure a spot in the domestic league. Therefore, I believe that the team will not feel too much pressure in the EuroLeague, and the opponent will not be fighting for anything either. As a result, there is a pretty good coefficient for betting on the match against Peru.

Valencia is the most productive team in the league with 91.0 points per game on average, and the key characteristic of this team is to force other teams to play such an attacking style of basketball. This points line has been present in Valencia's games for 6 consecutive games now, and even at home, Real looks favorable for going over. Real likes to collect points and also get involved in the high-scoring style of play of the Valencia team, and in their last meeting, over 200 points were scored.

Valencia defends well against such giants, today she will definitely attack and I don't think she will play much. In the first round, she played aggressively for 16 minutes and scored 1 point. Garuba should have his minutes cut because it suits him better.
