Neptunas-Olympiacos

Unbeaten group leader Olympiacos is having a trip to Lithuania this week to meet Neptunas. Hosting side had their first Euroleague victory in the history over Crvena Zvezda last week, while 10 players of the team managed to score points and made at least 1 assist.

 At the Greek side Vassilis Spanoulis and Matt Lojeski lead the attacks of their team as ususal, while big men Brent Petway, Othello Hunter and Bryant Dunston play key defensive roles. This group is too easy for them and they will probably manage to finish the group games at 1st  position.

 For the Lithuanian represantative it is crucial for this game to set the right game tempo, in this aspect Mustafa Shakur will be the key player for the hosting side. Νeptunas is a team who plays with a lot of energy, especially at their court. They like to run at the fast break and shoot a lot of three-point shots. Either on the fast break or on set game. The biggest problem of the team is the lack of a natural center, therefore  Donatas Zavackas and Simas Galdikas should do their best to make their team stick to the game.

 Comparing the potential and experince of the two teams we can come up to a conclusion that Olympiacos is much stronger than its opponent in every aspect.It will be an easy gam efor the Greeks. Therefore our pick for this game is +9,5 points hand WIN of Olympiacos.

 Prediction: Olympiacos to WIN (hand +9,5 points)
 Highest Odd: Unibet @ 1,91

Bayern Munich-EA7 Emporio Armani Milan

It’s the German champion against the Italian champion. Bayern comes off its first win and looks to add another while protecting its home floor. On the other hand EA7 Milan players want to get their 1st victory in the group.

Dusko Savanovic led the game last week against Panathinaikos and forward figures to play an important role going forward. John Bryant anchors Bayern inside, while Nihad Djedovic attacks from the wing.

EA7 Milan has weapons to match with Linas Kleiza an effective scorer in Savanovic’s mold, Samardo Samuels and Shawn James splitting time in the paint and Alessandro Gentile seems to be getting better from game to game. Daniel Hackett dominates from the visiting backcourt as it waits for newcomers Joe Ragland and MarShon Brooks to heat up.

Bayern has deep rotation at guard with Anon Gavel, Heiko Schaffartzik and Vasilije Micic and Coach Pesic will look to maximize on that rotation to increase his team’s chances of a second straight win.

Although Bayern Munich is playing at home I think it will be the game of EA7 Milan unless hurry in the attack and take the most suitable shots. Our pick for this game is EA7 Milan to WIN.

Prediciton: EA7 Emporio Armani Milan to WIN
Highest Odd: Paddy Power @ 2,62
