KK Crvena Zvezda -3.50 (AH)
Maccabi Tel Aviv vs KK Crvena Zvezda, Euroleague Regular season, Round 22
In my opinion there is several reasons to trust to Serbian team in this game. Firstly, Crvena zvezda is currently on high 7th position and with 13-9 overall record which is far better than expected. I'm writing for whole season how this is one old roster (second oldest in Euroleague) who in my opinion doesn't belong to Top 8 best teams. So far they didn't prove me being right but we'll see, the season is long. In any case, this game now is a spot when even I must trust them. It's great opportunity to improve overall record to 14-9 and to go even higher on the standings. Simply, Maccabi at this moment is probably the weakest roster in Euroleague. They're not the last placed but they're certainly playing like they are. We know in how big problems the Israeli team was and how some players were leaving this club as the season was going on. At this moment I can freely to say they gave up of serious competing in Euroleague. They really let this 2024/25 Euroleague campaign down the water.
Furthermore, this isn't the real away game for Crvena zvezda since Maccabi is hosting Euroleague games exactly in Serbian capital, in Pionir Hall which till not so long ago was a place where Crvena zvezda was playing its home matches.
What is interesting fact, since Maccabi got a chance to host Euroleague games in Serbia, they didn't win any game against two Serbian teams no matter if the Israeli team was officially host or guest.
The bottom line, this current number in my opinion is super short and I expect to handicap go up for several points till Thursday's tip-off. Even if close to -6 or -7 pts, I would still pick Zvezda to win and cover since in my opinion this should be a double digits margin victory.
