01-03-2017 20:30 BST - Umana Reyer Venezia v Sidigas Avellino - Champions League Betting Tips
There is an all-Italian clash in the FIBA Champions League Round of 16, and this is shaping up to be a cracking match on Wednesday night. There is always an added level of excitement when domestic rivals square off in European action, and this is likely to be a thrilling encounter.
Venezia were involved in a close run battle to make it through to the Round of 16 and in the end, they squeezed through by a margin of just 2 points. However, they did lose the first leg of the tie 74-67, and this gave them a big task to finish in the return leg. The Italians prevailed, finishing the game 70-61, and this was all that they needed to take their place in this stage of the tournament.
Venezia finished second in Group B although they did hold a 9-5 record. This is the same record as the teams that finished first and third, so they may feel slightly hard done by but they know that this isn’t a fantastic return for the regular season. However, they are here now and they’ll want to make the most of the opportunity available in this Round of 16 tie.

Avellino want more FIBA Champions League glory
Sidigas Avellino also finished second in their group, Group D, and they held a 10-4 record. This is marginally better than their opponents but it isn’t a brilliant record by any means. The fact that these two sides know each other from domestic basketball may have an impact on the nature of the game but it is a Round of 16 clash to look forward to.
