ABU DHABI – The EuroLeague Basketball tournament is set to begin on Tuesday with two play-in games between Bayern Munich and Crvena Zvezda as well as Real Madrid BC and Paris Basketball.

At first glance, legal sports betting sites are leaning in favor of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid BC to win and advance.

As for what is at stake for both matchups, the game between Real Madrid and Paris is for the 7th seed. However, the loser of that game will play the winner between Bayern Munich and Crvena Zvezda to determine the 8th seed.

Crvena Zvezda Vs. Bayern Munich

  • Moneyline: Crvena Zvezda (+135) vs. Bayern Munich (-165)
  • Spread: Bayern Munich -3.5
  • Total: 167.5

Bayern Munich is favored to move on here against Crvena Zvezda at home. This comes for several reasons and the main one being the gap on the offensive end. Bayern Munich puts up 87.2 ppg while Crvena Zvezda scores 82.8 ppg. They also lead EuroLeague with 12.5 three pointers made per game.

Getting into their past games, Bayern has been decent with a 6-4 record in their last 10 and have covered -3.5 points in all six of their wins. Crvena Zvezda, on the other hand, has gone cold losing four of their last five games.

Bayern has also won two of their last three meetings against one another and have covered -3.5 points in their two wins as well.

Paris Basketball Vs. Real Madrid BC

  • Moneyline: Paris Basketball (+325) vs. Real Madrid BC (-425)
  • Spread: Real Madrid -8.5
  • Total: 175

Off rip, this is too large of a EuroLeague betting spread considering the offense that Paris has put up this season. Paris sits ahead of Real Madrid in ppg, three pointers made and attempted, and offensive rebounds.

Paris is 8-2 in their last 10 games with their only two losses coming against Fenerbahce and Real Madrid which were both one point losses. Real Madrid is currently riding a 12 game win streak, but are 4-8 against a -8.5-point spread.
