Thursday 23 March 2017
Istanbul, Turkey
EFES (15-12) – FENERBAHCE (17-10)
It’s a derby! Forget the standings, forget the home/away record, forget that Fenerbahce is already qualified, while Efes is not. Forget everything, it’s a derby.
Avoid
Tel Aviv, Israel
MACCABI TEL AVIV (10-17) – ZALGIRIS (12-15)
The Lithuanian champs lost a crucial game with Efes two days ago. Court Side reports about this match (and the other Round 27 matches), but now the question is: where will be Zalgiris players mind tonight? My answer is: not in the Euroleague battle, but somewhere else.
Maccabi @ 1.52 stake 2/10
Milano, Italy, EU
MILANO (7-20) – BAMBERG (9-18)
It’s so funny to read Italian newspapers in these days and to compare what Italian journalists write about EA7 Milano with what they wrote just few months ago. Last October almost every magazine, newspaper and website wrote Milano could get a playoff spot. Poor Italy!
Bamberg (+1.5) @ 1.90 stake 3/10
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, EU
BASKONIA (16-11) – PANATHINAIKOS (16-11)
Read the Euroleague Standings: Baskonia and Pana already have their post season ticket! So, what’s the Vitoria-Gasteiz game? Is it a basketball game? No, it’s a party!
Pana (+4.5) @ 1.93 stake 4/10
Friday 24 March 2017
Kazan, Russia
UNICS KAZAN (7-20) – CSKA MOSCOW (20-7)
Our Friday starts with the Russian derby. CSKA chases the 1st place in the final standigs of the Euroleague regular season.
CSKA @ 1.17 stake 3/10
Istanbul, Turkey
DARUSSAFAKA (13-14) – GALATASARAY (10-17)
This is a do or die match for Darussafaka. The club and the fans were waiting for this match since last summer. Bookmakers see home team as clear favorite here. I agree with them. This is “the match of the day”.
Darussafaka @ 1.22 stake 5/10
Athens, Greece, EU
OLYMPIACOS (19-8) – REAL MADRID (20-7)
This is a key match for the 1st place. We have 3 teams involved in the battle for the 1st place: Olympiacos, Real Madrid and CSKA Moscow. Don’t ask me why, but I am confident the Russians will get it.
Avoid
Barcelona, Spain, EU
BARCELONA (10-17) – CRVENA ZVEZDA (15-12)
No doubts here: Crvena Zvezda
Crvena Zvezda @ 2.05 stake 4/10
– Be careful !! –
I suggest to place only single bets and to place few bets every week. I am set to place maximum only 1 bet per day, the “match of the day”: Darussafaka – Galatasaray (Fri 24 March 2017), anyway I hope my Euroleague Round 28 previews can be useful for your basketball bets.
