Well, I don't know, Mouz doesn't have much room to move up, as they will remain among the last 4 teams. Heroic's game is not bad at all, they could still stay in the middle bracket, and their players are much more stable than those of Mouz. Mouz is, of course, a team that is difficult to predict, as always, but I think at the moment, Heroic's game is a bit more stable.
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.
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.
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.
Last season, the black horse Paris hosted the current champions Fenerbahce at home. Although Paris is only in their second season in the Euroleague, they have already played against Jasikevicius' team six times and have gained valuable experience. Out of these matches, only one ended in a draw, while in all the others Paris suffered defeat.
THT quickly gathered up their losses in the match against Barcelona, saved a lot of energy, and today the opponent is much easier. Barcelona is strong, but Paris will drive them away and allow the tank to move smoothly. They quickly make a full comeback, and Sara likes it and forgives nonsense, prioritizing physicality.
Paris has a full squad, so the energy will be at max. Fener will have to adapt, as everything has been going too well for them lately. The players are in top form, so we can expect a good attack, similar to the 3 periods against Barca. Paris is strong everywhere, as always, so I don't expect a lot of defense.
The game has a fast pace, so Bayern must focus on their attacks and combinations, which make the game unappealing but effective. Monaco, after their defeat against Kaunas, also can't afford to give up without a fight, as their performance was disappointing. I don't expect much running in this match, as it will be a fast-paced game for Bayern and an old-school style of play.
Due to Monaco's financial problems, the players appear demotivated. The team atmosphere seems very poor and it is difficult for Spanulis to manage the situation. Against Žalgiris, they played a very poor game and I doubt there is enough time to change things during this double week. On the other hand, Bayern seems to be gaining good form in the Euroleague and I believe they have a real chance to win today at home.
The Monaco defender who is demonstrating excellent form in this 2026 year scored double-digit points in five out of the last seven EuroLeague matches. Today she has all the conditions for that, as she rarely spends under 20 minutes on the court.
Moore has a chance to shine, since Badio won't be playing, the minutes should decrease, especially since he only played 11 minutes in the first two weeks. Moore started the season at an elite level, but then lost playing time and has been fluctuating in minutes recently. Today, he should get more playing time and have a chance to show what he's capable of, so this total for Ghana is low.
19, 10, 12, 15 points Biberovic threw in the last game. A player who consistently makes his shots and everything revolves around his accuracy. Season averages 9.7 points, but tonight's opponent is the Paris club. Paris is just as good at shooting 3-pointers, forcing opponents to do the same. Biberovic has a good shooting hand, but Paris has a very weak defense against forwards, both in terms of points and 3-pointers.
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.
According to the coefficient, a combo is probably a better option, although in terms of percentages that still means a 55% potential profit... But the bet seems to be safe for Ghana.
Hapoel Tel-Aviv is currently in a tragic form, playing extremely poorly and struggling in attack.
Meanwhile, Valencia, although their recent results may seem shaky, their attack is not struggling and in comparison to both teams' forms, they should definitely outscore Hapoel Tel Aviv.
The female team of Real is playing excellent football this season, in good shape and at home stadium. Their strong offense brings good results. The only defeat at home this season was against Bilbao. Barcelona, the dominant force not only in Spain but also in Europe, will be their opponent. The highest level, frequent and complete domination over opponents, and amazing offense. Real's team with their form will have their chances, but I cannot imagine how they could resist against Barca. They have only scored 4 goals in their previous match in Madrid.
Dubai is known for playing highly productive basketball with a high shooting percentage in their home arena. In the Euroleague, they score approximately 87.2 points and allow about 88.2 points.
Real Madrid is also in excellent form, scoring around 87.7 points in the Euroleague and allowing approximately 83.3 points.
Knowing the playing style of both teams, it can be expected that the game will be extremely fast-paced and high-scoring, possibly reaching 170+ points and even 180+ points, depending on shooting accuracy.
The Anderlecht team had a difficult period and experienced several defeats, but the majority of those poor results were during away games. Anderlecht is a strong home team and they play very good football, with only one loss. The key reason is their good defense, which should also be a decisive factor today. Antwerp is a solid team, but they perform poorly in away games. This is the first game of the two, so it is essential for Anderlecht to achieve a good result.
ASEAN Club Championship. Two attacking teams, that alone should promise plenty of action, and other circumstances lead me to believe that it will not be lacking - Lion City's match is for nothing, the team has no chance of advancing to the next stage, so it is an opportunity to simply play their own football, knock on the door and it seems that the coach will aim for that, as he allows a combative lineup, with almost all leaders attacking. On the other hand, Svay Rieng still has theoretical chances of taking second place, but it will also require favorable results in other matches and winning both remaining games by a significant goal difference, which also means that the team will not just sit back in defense. In addition, their offense has been in fantastic form recently and they will have to rely on it heavily. I think these will be open games, with both teams having motivation and the necessity to attack, and it will ultimately be the offense that decides the outcome.
Anadolu Efes, despite having an average of 79.3 points, has recently been playing very productively, especially at home. For example: 107 points against Valencia, 95 against Bursaspor.
In the Euroleague, they typically allow around 84.7 points.
Žalgiris' statistics: they score an average of 88.8 points and allow 82.9 points.
Based on statistics and the teams' recent matches, the line seems easily beatable.
Hapoel without Bryant won't play. 3 pitiful losses in a row. Micic received another injury. Bryant has a chance to perform today, but after being out for over two weeks, it's unclear what form he will be in and his minutes may be limited. Valencia's form has dropped, but their style of play remains the same, their losses are more related to poor shooting. I think today they should just focus on playing Itoudis, whose days are numbered.
No matter how bad Panathinaikos look lately, Partizan is not even at the level of Euroleague team. They play extremely poorly at home, there is no support. They don't even gather enough people to go to Štark, because there are no fans. This season is no longer interesting for either the players or the "fans". Pao must surely straighten things out after such a fiasco.
According to the standings, Efes does not fall behind Zalgiris, and in my opinion, it is even a better team. They play at home, crushed Valencia, and I think Zalgiris will once again have a dazzling offense, with a stronger defense than Monaco had and we will see a rematch. Goss is back, but he is not giving much help to the team and it is doubtful if there will be any help from him at all. I hope for a tough fight, but I would not be surprised even if Efes easily defeats.
Bucks leaving the East is a serious possibility, especially with such high odds. Giannis is having another incredible season and it doesn't seem like his form will decline. Ryan Rollins is becoming a great player. Kevin Porter Jr is not yet there, but he will be, and if we don't count his non-basketball related issues, he is a great player. AJ Green is a complete sniper who can make shots in every game. Myles Turner is struggling right now, but he will start making shots soon. The recipe for the Bucks is clear - Giannis is the main man and the shooters are placed around him, and with this team, it's possible to win championships.
The main contenders will most likely be Cleveland, 76ers, and Knicks, maybe even Orlando, but it's disappointing and unclear which of them will rise this season.
Outrights (NBA 2025/26 - To Reach the Playoffs - Golden State Warriors : NO) @500 4/10
The West is very competitive. In the past years, it was not clear who would rank in the top 4 - 11.
The Spurs will still be in the mix, and the Rockets look strong. It's too early to count out the Kings.
Curry is 37 years old, Butler is 36, and Draymond is 35, so the core players are getting older and could potentially face the same injuries.
Overall, my weak teams' championship looks promising this year. Despite their lack of experience in the championship, they often rise up to the Premier League. The rest of the teams don't have much chance unless these options occur:
Leicester - I believe they will bounce back, although they have struggled a bit. They still have a strong team and if they don't lose their morale after dropping down to the championship, I think they can definitely fight for promotion this season.
Middlesbrough - A good team in good form, nothing can stop them this season. I think they can definitely promote to the Premier League together with Leicester.
Coventry - Thanks to Lampard's magic, they have a shot at first place. I believe they have good chemistry and can rise to the Premier League, as long as they maintain their form.
In my opinion, these are the only options that can compete for promotion to the Premier league. The rest are either in bad form or good form, but I don't think they will last long. Leicester, on the other hand, is used to the championship and immediately bounces back to the Premier League. They have struggled with injuries in the Premier League but now I see that their players are no longer injured and in good form (sadly, some have left). But their main player, Abdul Fatawu (remember the name), can lead this team if he doesn't get injured. The team still has good players and promising talents, so I think they can continue their tradition.
First long-term bet for the new full season. Chelsea's coefficient is still over 2, which means they will finish in the Top 4, and I have no doubts about that. Last season, they finished fourth and strengthened their team impressively at the end of the season. It was clear that this young team is a force to be reckoned with, winning two trophies and beating PSG gave them a lot of confidence going forward. So yes, Chelsea will play Champions League football, but in terms of the main competition for the fourth place, I see Newcastle as the main rival and I don't think they have strengthened enough to challenge for it. As for the other teams, United and Tottenham? United have made too much progress in just one season and Tottenham have a lower level than Chelsea, plus they are also in the Champions League. Aston Villa seems destined for relegation and I don't see any other contenders. Overall, I believe Chelsea is closer to joining the top three of Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool, rather than fighting for the Top 4 spot, which I don't see them achieving in the upcoming Premier League season.
