Here's what you need to know about these high-stakes clashes:
Crvena Zvezda vs. Bayern Munich
- Moneyline: Crvena Zvezda (+135) vs. Bayern Munich (-165)
- Spread: Bayern Munich -3.5
- Total: 167.5
Bayern Munich, with their lethal offense that averages 87.2 points per game, is favored to cruise past Crvena Zvezda, who scores 82.8 points on average. The Germans lead EuroLeague in three-pointers made per game with a whopping 12.5.
While Crvena Zvezda has gone cold recently, losing four out of their last five games, Bayern Munich boasts a solid 6-4 record in their last 10 games and has covered the -3.5 spread in all six of their wins. This trend of success against Crvena Zvezda carries over, too, with Bayern winning two out of their last three meetings and easily covering the spread in both victories.
Paris Basketball vs. Real Madrid BC
- Moneyline: Paris Basketball (+325) vs. Real Madrid BC (-425)
- Spread: Real Madrid -8.5
- Total: 175
It's time to place your bets on this David-vs-Goliath matchup, as Paris Basketball faces off against the reigning championship contenders, Real Madrid BC. Despite Paris boasting a superior offensive attack, sportsbooks have set a staggering spread of -8.5 points in favor of Real Madrid.
With Paris sitting ahead of Real Madrid in points per game, three-pointers made and attempted, and offensive rebounds, it's difficult to understand why such a large spread has been set. Perhaps it's due to Real Madrid's impressive 12-game win streak, even though they're 4-8 against a -8.5-point spread.
Despite Real Madrid's recent success, Paris has held its own, going 8-2 in their last 10 games, with their only two losses coming against Fenerbahce and Real Madrid – both were nail-bitingly close one-point losses.
And remember, before you put your money down, be sure to do your research and consult updated sportsbooks for the most accurate odds and player props for these games on April 25th. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
