In Belgrade, at Stark Arena, it is time for the Championship Game of the 2021/22 EuroLeague season.
Anadolu Efes is seeking its second consecutive title celebration. The Turkish side prevailed over Olympiacos in the semifinal, after Vasilije Micic scored the game-winning shot (74-77).
Four of Ergin Ataman’s players combined for 54 points. Shane Larkin (21 points and 7 assists) contributed the most for his team. Should he perform in the Championship Game as he did in the semifinal, he is a strong Final Four MVP candidate.
For its part, Real Madrid managed to defeat its domestic arch-rival Barcelona (83-86). Guerschon Yabusele (18 points and 8 rebounds) and Fabien Causeur (18 points) performed really well.
Pablo Laso’s guys will compete for their 11th EuroLeague championship. The last one occured in the same arena in Belgrade back in 2018.
On an interesting note, Real has won its last 10 games in all competitions. However, this will be a pretty tough game to pick a winner.
My safe betting prediction is that both teams will score a total of over 155 points (odds at 1.93). They have done so in four of the last five games they faced each other.
In addition, I predict that Shane Larkin will record more than 6 assists tonight (odds at 2.67). Another betting prediction regarding an Efes player will be Vasilije Micic to score more than 20 points (odds at 2.42).
Furthemore, I think Guerschon Yabusele will record more than 22 points, rebounds and assists in total (odds at 2.47).
Lastly, my fun bet for tonight’s EuroLeague Championship Game will be a combination of over 18.5 points for Micic, over 4.5 assists for Larkin and over 13.5 points for Yabusele (odds at 4.70).
I strongly believe these players will be key factors and determine the outcome of this year’s Euroleague Championship Game.
Safe Bet:
Over 155.5 points (1.93)
Value Bet:
Shane Larkin over 6.5 assists (2.67)
Vasilije Micic over 20.5 points (2.42)
Guerchon Yabusele over 22.5 points, rebounds and assists (2.47)
Fun Bet:
Larkin over 4.5 assists + Micic over 18.5 points + Yabusele over 13.5 points (4.70)
