10/12/2015 19:15 – Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv v Brose Baskets Bamberg – Betting Tips
There is only one qualification spot left up for grabs in Group D and Maccabi Tel Aviv have to win this game on Thursday night to remain in the hunt for the Top 16. It could be that they will win and be denied by the Darussafaka score on Friday night but to have any chance, the hosts need to defeat their already qualified opponents.
With a 2-6 record after eight games, you cannot argue with the position of Maccabi in Group D but if the Israeli side fail to make it through to the Top 16, it will be the first time that they have failed to reach this stage this millennium. This is why there will be a massive atmosphere in Tel Aviv as the home fans look to roar their heroes on. This has been an exceptionally poor campaign for Maccabi and a lot of this has come down to their defence, which has let up an average of 82.6 points per game. This is the sort of form that sees teams fall out of Top 16 contention and Maccabi can’t complain about where they are but they still have a chance of salvaging their season.

Bamberg could rise up the table
Bamberg have their Top 16 spot in the bag but they could grab second place if results go their way, so they’ll be keen to push on in this game. These two teams met last month in Germany and Daniel Theis grabbed 16 points while Nicolo Melli was able to serve up 10 assists in a 77-66 home win. Bamberg are very tight defensively, letting up an average of 72.3 points per game, and this should ensure that they are well in contention in the New Year. They may not have the highest level of motivation going into this game but Brose Baskets should be able to stand up to the power of the Israeli home crowd.
The bookmakers are backing the hosts and when you think about how important this game is to them, you can see why taking Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv at -5.5 at odds of 1.90 is a decent bet. When it comes to the Over/Under market, look to go UNDER 153.5 at odds of 1.90. Bet Now!

This is a game that will have an impact on the final shakedown of the Euroleague playoff games as the away team is in the running to grab fourth spot and that final home-court advantage position. The Greeks know that a win gives them the position they are desperate to grab and even though there... 
With both of these teams sitting with a 10-19 record at this stage of the season, it will come as no surprise to learn that they are both out of the running for the playoff spots. This may mean that some people will think that this is a nothing game with only pride at stake... 
Both of these teams have a strong Euroleague pedigree but they have both endured a terrible season. This is why Barcelona and Maccabi will probably be quite glad to see the back of this Euroleague campaign but there are still a couple of games to get over and done with. Injuries have caused no end...
