- Anadolu Efes, who are 12th with an 11-13 record, will take on Real Madrid, who are eighth with a 13-11 record. The last five H2H records stand at 3-2 in favor of Real Madrid.
Both teams enter this match after losing their previous matches. Anadolu Efes lost to Olympiacos 92-89 on the road in a very close match during which the Turkish side made 11 three-pointers. Playing at Sinan Erdem Dome, Efes are on a nine-win and one-loss run in all competitions.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, continued their unstable form and lost away to Monaco by a 77-73 score. The Merengues made just 38.7% of their shots and 33.3% of their three-pointers. That was Real Madrid’s first away defeat after five road wins in all competitions. Considering the total points scored in both team’s recent games, we will back an over bet for this game.

- Fifth-placed Panathinaikos with a 14-10 record will square off against Fenerbahce, who are second with a 16-7 record. The last three H2Hs end with a Panathinaikos win.
Earlier this season, Panathinaikos emerged victorious in the opposite fixture, winning 81-76 in Istanbul. The Greek side suffered an unexpected defeat at the hands of Olimpia Milano in the previous round and a two-match winning run in the Euroleague. Panathinaikos made 43.9% of their shots, which is way below their season’s average of 50.77%.
Fenerbahce, meanwhile, beat Virtus Bologna by 95-81 and extended their winning streak to 11 games in all competitions and to six games in the Euroleague. The Yellow Navys are undefeated in five away games, of which two were in the Euroleague. Games between these two teams are usually very tense and tactical, and as a result, the last three H2Hs ended with under 145 points.
Panathinaikos vs Fenerbahce Prediction: Under 175 points
Bayern and Olimpia Milano are to face off in an equal contest: Bayern vs Olimpia Milano
- Date: 04/02/2025
- Tip Off: 19:45 UTC
- Bayern, with a 14-10 record in seventh place, will meet Olimpia Milano, who are tenth with a 13-11 record. The last five H2H meetings see Olimpia with a 3-2 lead.
Both teams are battling for the play-in spots as they are currently in it. Bayern enter this game on the back of a two-match winning run in the Euroleague. In the last game, the Bavarians beat Zalgiris Kaunas on the road. Bayern made 52.4% of their shots, which is higher than their season’s average of 48.3%, and made a whopping 17 of 32 three-pointers.
Olimpia Milano are also high in motivation after a fine 87-75 home win over Panathinaikos in round 24. The Italian side lost their last two away games in all competitions. With both teams having an average total of just over 86 points per game, we predict this game will see at least 165 points.
Bayern vs Olimpia Milano Prediction: Over 164.5 points
Monaco are the favorites to win when they host Baskonia: Monaco vs Baskonia
- Date: 05/02/2025
- Tip Off: 18:00 UTC
- Third-placed Monaco, with a 15-9 record, will entertain Baskonia, who are 15th with a 10-14 record. Monaco have won all of the past six H2H meetings.
Monaco are having a superb season as they find themselves among the three best teams in the Euroleague. The Monegasque have won eight and lost four of their home games. In the previous round, Monaco recorded an impressive 77-73 win over Real Madrid at home in a very defensive game as the hosts made ten steals.
Baskonia, on the other hand, are struggling to make it to the top ten this season. However, an 88-86 win over compatriots Barcelona in the previous round must boost their morale as the Spanish side made 55.7% of their shots, which is 6% better than their season’s average of 49.57%. Considering the superior record in the H2Hs and their current rankings, we will back Monaco to triumph in this match.
Monaco vs Baskonia Prediction: Monaco to Win
A difficult game for both teams when Paris host Olympiacos: Paris vs Olympiacos

- Fourth-placed Paris with a 14-9 record will face Euroleague leaders Olympiacos, who have a 17-7 record. Paris won the only H2H earlier this season.
With just one defeat in their last eight games in all competitions, Paris are a very strong team this season. In the Euroleague, Monaco have an 8-3 home record and are undefeated at the Adidas Arena in five games across all competitions. In the previous game, Paris beat Lyon-Villeurbanne 91-82, shooting 48.5% and making 11 of 30 three-pointers.
