The second part of a doubleheader is upon us, with Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th of January being packed with 9 different games from round 22 in the 2024/25 season. Many of these teams played yesterday, so for those looking at the EuroLeague basketball odds, this is something to consider.
We share a quick preview of this week’s games, with basketball betting options available for all nine games over on the BetVictor sportsbook!
Lyon-Villeurbanne vs. Alba Berlin
- Date: Thursday 16th of January 2025
- Time: 19:00 pm BST
Lyon-Villeurbanne has a record of 9 wins and 12 losses this season, facing off against Alba Berlin, who currently sit at 3 and 18. Despite the difference in their records, Alba Berlin has shown surprising success against Lyon in recent matches, winning four of the last five encounters between the two.
The EuroLeague betting spread currently sits at 8.5 in favour of the French team. However, Alba Berlin has certainly started to show progress in the Basketball Bundesliga, which included a shock win against league leaders Bayern Munich on the 5th of January (88-81).
Paris vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv
- Date: Thursday 16th of January 2025
- Time: 19:30 pm BST
Paris stands at 12 wins and 8 losses, pushing hard to secure their place in the playoffs. They face a Maccabi Tel Aviv team that has stumbled recently, losing two of their last four games.
This matchup is crucial for Paris as they aim to boost their record and stay competitive in the EuroLeague standings. In essence, spectators are looking at a team determined to keep its playoff hopes alive versus an opponent that is simply trying to regain form.
Milano vs. Partizan
- Date: Thursday 16th of January 2025
- Time: 19:30 pm BST
Milano stands 7th with a record of 14 wins and 7 losses. Partizan, on the other hand, holds the 12th place on the EuroLeague table with 10 wins and 11 losses.
Partizan enters this game with momentum, having secured victories in their last two matches across all competitions. This streak boosts their confidence as they head to the Mediolanum Forum in Italy. If Milano are to string anything together and keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive, however, this match is one that they cannot afford to slip up on.
Real Madrid vs. Olympiacos
- Date: Thursday 16th of January 2025
- Time: 19:45 pm BST
Real Madrid boasts an unimpressive record this season when compared to their 23/24 campaign, currently sitting on 12 wins and 9 losses. They have a good record against Olympiacos in the EuroLeague, however, clinching victory in three of their last four meetings.
While Real Madrid is favoured in this encounter, both teams are experiencing an incredible run of form, winning all five of their last matches. It’s also worth mentioning that the spread only sits at 1.5, making this a match that simply cannot be missed. On paper, it promises to be a highly contested game that could be separated by just a couple of points.
Fenerbahce vs. Zalgiris
- Date: Friday 17th of January 2025
- Time: 17:45 pm BST
Fenerbahce is another team on a hot streak, winning all five of their last matches across all competitions. They currently sit in second place in the EuroLeague table, with 13 wins and 7 losses to their name.
On the other hand, Zalgiris holds a record of 11 wins and 10 losses placing them at the 11th spot. This clash should be a good one, with the teams splitting the past five encounters 3-2, leaning slightly towards Fenerbahce, who are also the favourites according to the EuroLeague betting odds.
Crvena Zvezda vs. Monaco
- Date: Friday 17th of January 2025
- Time: 19:00 pm BST
Crvena Zvezda has a record of 12 wins and 9 losses, giving them a solid standing in the league. On the other hand, Monaco showcased impressive form by winning five out of their last six matches.
Monaco’s recent winning streak showcases their potential to challenge any opponent they face. However, facing Crvena Zvezda at their home ground presents unique challenges for Monaco as they aim to continue their successful run in the league.
Baskonia vs. Panathinaikos
- Date: Friday 17th of January 2025
- Time: 19:30 pm BST
Panathinaikos is in an exceptional run of form, winning all of their last nine games. Their dynamic offence places them among the top-scoring teams in the EuroLeague, with only Real Madrid and Maccabi Tel Aviv sitting about them in the table.
Many experts don’t see this encounter even being competitive, with Panathinaikos’ offensive strength being likely to overwhelm Baskonia, much like it has to other teams in the EuroLeague. Baskonia are struggling themselves, too, sitting at 8 wins and 13 defeats.
Bayern Munich vs. Virtus Bologna
- Date: Friday 17th of January 2025
- Time: 19:30 pm BST
Bayern Munich faces Virtus Bologna in a crucial matchup. With 6 wins and 15 losses, Virtus Bologna is striving to improve their record, while Bayern Munich are just one win away from breaking into the top 6.
The motivation will certainly be there for the German team, who look to progress to the 2024/25 playoffs; however, judging by their last few performances, it seems like Virtus Bologna are almost ready for this season to conclude.
Barcelona vs. Anadolu Efes
- Date: Friday 17th of January 2025
- Time: 19:45 pm BST
Barcelona have the momentum in this match as they look for their 13th victory of the season with three consecutive wins behind them. In contrast, Anadolu Efes has been facing challenges, having lost three of their last five matches.
The EuroLeague odds suggest that Barcelona is the dominant force in this match, with the team showcasing a strong offensive prowess and a solid defensive strategy throughout the season. Barcelona also has an impressive win rate of 82% against Anadolu Efes, with this head-to-head being particularly favourable for the Spanish team.
