Anadolu Efes – Real Madrid

After assigning Ivkovic as the Head Coach, Istanbul representative Anadolu Efes combined Turkish young talented basketball players with internationally experienced talents. And up-to now, they were quite successful both at the Turkish League and Euroleague. They had 3W1L out of four games and have a good advantage to qualify for the top 16.

Real Madrid has started the Euroleague just like in the past years. They won all of the four games easily and they are leading the group A. Sergio Rodrigez and Sergio Llull will be sharing the guard duties during this match. Nocioni will be contributing the team from the wings. As Nenad Krstic of Efes is injured for a long time, Gustavo Ayon and Felipe Reyes will find more chances in the paint against Milko Bjelica and Stephane Lasme.

Real Madrid will dominate the game and get an easy victory over its opponent.

Prediction: Reald Madrid to WIN (+7.5h)
Highest Odd: Bwin @ 1.87

Bayern Munich – Fenerbahce Ulker

Although the German champions Bayern Munich had a spectacular win against the strong Panathinaikos, this was their one and only victory in Group C. Dusco Savanovic and John Bryant should be more effective and take more responsibility during the games. Team mates of Lucca Staiger should prepare him good plays in order to make him score 3 pointers in the set games.

On the other side; Fenerbahce lost 2 games in a row after the 2 wins they gained in the first two weeks. New transfer Andrew Goudelock’s performance has been with lots of up and downs in the latest games. Especially with his defending faults, he put his team in trouble. However with no hesitation, he is a big threat for all of the opponents behind the 3 point line and during the man-to-man plays. The creative forward of the team; Emir Preldzic can read the game very well and has a great contribution to his team with his assists. Big men Luca Zoric and Jan Vesely will be the key players for this game in the painted area.

At the strength scale from every aspects; Fenerbahce Ulker seems to be heavier than its opponent. If they will manage to defend aggressively, they will reach an easy victory in Germany.

Prediction: Fenerbahce Ulker to WIN (+4.5h)
Highest Odd: William Hill @ 1.91

Barcelona – Panathinaikos

2 classical team of Euroleague is facing each other one more time at the Week 5 in Group C. Real Madrid is leading the group with 4W out of four matches and Panathinaikos had 3W1L up-to now.

Both playmakers Navarro and Diamantidis had made a perfect start to the season and are playing the best games of their careers recently.

Barcelona is a team with a deep rotation and they are able to keep the five players always fit on the ground. They have got many options in offense and it is very very tough for the opponents to stop those attacks!

On the other side; Panathinaikos had 2W in a row and scored with a high percentage especially behind the 3-points line. Head Coach Dusko Ivanovic is confident of his players and he can motivate them amazingly from the bench. One crucial point for this game will be the performance of Esteban Batista in the paint for the Greens.

However it is almost impossible to get a victory in Barcelona for all of the teams in Euroleague level. From time to time, there might be a hard battle at all positions during the game but Barcelona will eventually win this game with certain points difference. 

Prediction: Barcelona to WIN (-8.5h)
