Anadolu Efes - Zalgiris Kaunas

The line is falling, yesterday I placed a bet of 181.5 with a coefficient of 1.78, but the values are still there.

Zvezda has an average profit of 87.5, losing 85.5.

Maccabi scores an average of 88.9 points and concedes 91.8 points.

Although both teams can play offensively, Crvena Zvezda is known for its strong defense, especially at home.

Both statistically and in terms of evaluating Crvena Zvezda's home game and Maccabi Tel Aviv's away game - the line seems easily coverable.

Two very solid attacking teams. Zvezda is in very good form and although their offense does not shine in every game, they are able to adapt to attacking-type teams and score over points against them. We all know that Maccabi is one of the leaders in points scored and conceded. With a double game week, I do not expect strong defense, but points should be high as both teams consistently play this way and in their first meeting 190+ points were scored.

Today, one can try to pick a big over here. The first match was 191 points in Tel Aviv and it was a tie. Zvezda has been dominating recently with a strong offense, almost all players scoring 100 or near 100 points. They play a fast and productive basketball, fighting for many rebounds. Maccabi is a similar team, also playing fast, but they often allow quick and unprepared shots. It wouldn't be surprising to see both teams score over 100 today.

The Abeja team lost their first double-header match, but both games were solid and the matches should be intense. It's difficult to expect a big difference, as Virtus and Edwards are capable of playing extremely well, and the team has rarely lost by such margins this season. The impressive Oly is solid, but they are not unbeatable. Therefore, even though Peru is strong, they are not significantly better, so I believe Virtus should not lose by a large margin in the double-header week.

Barcelona is in a slump, with two very poorly played consecutive games, a defeat given by Peru Fenerbahce (2.45 odds) and a loss in the local league, failing to convert penalties in crucial moments against UCAM Murcia. Before that there were also defeats against Olympiacos and La Laguna Tenerife.

At the same time, Baskonia also lost two consecutive games, against La Laguna Tenerife and EA7 Milano. All of Baskonia's games have been high paced and high scoring, so we can expect the same from this game, and of course, a better accuracy from the Basques.

Season averages in the Euroleague:

Baskonia scores around 87 points and allows 91.1 points, while Barcelona scores 86.3 and allows 84.6 points.

Statistically, this bet also seems to be a value.

We all know that the Basques play very efficiently and well at home. So far, in the 5 game series against Peru, they have been very productive in all matches. Barcelona will have to adapt to the game of Baskonia and also gather solid numbers in offense. In this season, both teams have doubts about the total score when playing against each other. Since Barcelona played at home, when facing potentially weaker opponents at home, we can expect either an over or higher chances of success.

Basketball team playing at a fast pace, one of the most offensive teams in Euroleague. Even though they may not seem capable of defending well, the majority of their players are focused on offense. At home, they should dictate the pace and style of play. Barcelona, even with some changes in their lineup, still has a lot of talent on offense. Although they do not play at a fast pace, their offensive numbers are good while their defensive rating is particularly poor. It seems like the total score may be too low.

No matter how poorly Barcelona played with the lantern, they fought until the end like lions. Xavi prepares a good game plan and the players always manage to break through. The Basques are a favorable opponent for Barcelona, they know how to attack and close aggressively. The situation is tense on the standings, so we need to take every point against such a level opponent, especially after recovering from injuries.
