Monaco will host Real Madrid with both teams showing great offensive skills: Monaco vs. Real Madrid
- Date: 31/01/2025
- Time: 18:00 UTC
- Third-placed Monaco, with a 14-9 W/L record, will take on Real Madrid, who are seventh with a 13-10 record in the Euroleague. Their H2H record is in the favor of Madrid with 5-2.
In the previous round, Monaco beat Virtus Bologna 80-86. That was the hosts’ first win after two successive defeats. They are first in field goal percentage in 2-pointers made and the second best in most points scored, averaging 87.5 points scored per game.
Real Madrid are not far behind in terms of points scored per game, being in 4th place with an average of 86.2. In the Euroleague this season, the Galacticos are not faring as well as they did in previous years with a slow start to the season, but they bounced back and have lost just one of their last 11 games in all competitions. They travel to Monaco on the back of a thrilling one-point win over Baskonia in round 23.
Monaco vs Real Madrid Prediction: Over 165.5 Points
In the upcoming EuroLeague matchup, Olimpia Milano will face Panathinaikos. Olimpia Milano vs. Panathinaikos
- Date: 30/01/2025
- Time: 19:30 UTC
- 11th-placed Milano, with a 12-11 W-L record, is set to face Panathinaikos, who has a 14-9 record in the Euroleague.
Historically, Panathinaikos has dominated this pairing, leading the head-to-head series with 18 wins to Milano's 10. On average, Panathinaikos scores 79.6 points per game against Milano while conceding 73.1 points. Both teams have shown variability in their offensive outputs.
Panathinaikos ranks fourth in two-point shooting at 58.1% and leads the league in average Performance Index Rating (PIR) with 100.3 per game. However, their defensive efforts are notable, allowing only 9.8 offensive rebounds per game, the fourth fewest in the league. Considering these statistics and the teams' defensive capabilities, it's plausible to anticipate a more controlled scoring environment in their upcoming matchup. Therefore, a prediction of under 173.5 total points seems reasonable.
Olimpia Milano vs. Panathinaikos Prediction: Under 173.5 Total Points
