Euroleague Betting
The Euroleague brings some solid basketball action to the table with multiple interesting matchups.
This column will take a look at two of today’s best matchups: Fenerbahce vs. ALBA Berlin and Anadolu Efes vs. Valencia.
Fenerbachce vs. Alba Berlin
- Fenerbahce -315
- Alba Berlin +245
Turkish basketball powerhouse Fenerbache is a notable favorite in a matchup against ALBA Berlin. Fenerbahche’s -315 odds mark them as a legitimately dominant team in the matchup.
However, in the Euroleague this year, not much separates the two teams. Fenerbahce have a 5-7 record, while ALBA are 4-7.
In other words, a victory by the German squad would see them vault past Fenerbahce in the standings.
