ULEB CUP SEMIFINAL presented by ecobika

HEMOFARM-MAKEDONIKOS 20.00. CET

ULEB Cup semifinals, first game. It is sure, that one team will make history by reaching the very first European final in its club's history after the match in Vrsac, Serbia. Hemofarm absolved the regular season with 6 won, 4 lost matches and has won elimination round series against two higher-ranked teams, Dynamo Moscow and BK Ventspils. Alfa Makedonikos balance: 7-3 and has reached the semifinals by beating Le Mans and Greek rival Maroussi.

One of the most interesting match up of these teams could be the battle inside between top scorers, namely Hutson (Mekedonikos) and Topic (Hemofarm).

The odds on moneyline: around 1,3-3,2. A little bit low, but at the crowded home court Hemofarm can not lose – at least I think so.


But I will not take handicap (-6,5), because Hemofarm won by only 1-2 points in the previous rounds, and Makedonikos did the same.

ULEB CUP SEMIFINAL presented by ecobika

Pamesa Valencia- Lietuvos Rytas 20.30 CET


Pamesa could be the first team to win the ULEB Cup twice – two years ago was the first win -, if wins the first match of the semifinal with big difference. Pamesa in the regular season: 8-2, has not lost at home this season and knocked out against Joventut and Charleroi. Rytas did better, had 9-1 record in the regular season and then won against two Greek teams, Aris and PAOK in the elimination phase.

Pamesa just changed the coach, exactly what Rytas did six weeks ago.

The odds are certainly low on moneyline on Valencia: 1,25. But I will go for it, can not imagine other result.
