ASVEL
Monaco
In the final round of the EuroLeague basketball regular season, a showdown between ASVEL and Monaco is set to take place. The match will be held in Lyon on Thursday, April 10, and is scheduled to tip off at 20:00 Central European Time. I'm offering a bet on the winner of this game.

Match preview
This season, ASVEL has shown some impressive stretches, and at one point, it seemed the team might contend for a playoff spot. Compared to previous seasons, there's noticeable progress, but ultimately, they failed to secure a postseason berth.
Finishing 15th and trailing the tenth spot by five wins isn't encouraging for fans, but it leaves room for future growth. The final game of the regular campaign won't hold any significance for the team.
Monaco has long established itself as the powerhouse of French basketball, backed by solid EuroLeague results. In each of the past three seasons in the tournament, they managed to reach the playoffs.
The current fourth place gives them excellent chances to replicate that success this campaign. Even with a loss in the last game, Monaco could still remain in the top 6.
Match facts
- ASVEL has won four consecutive home games.
- Monaco has lost only two of their last ten away games.
- ASVEL averages 83 points per game at home, while Monaco averages 84 points per game on the road.
Players to watch
Mike James has slightly dipped in scoring in recent games, yet he remains Monaco's main weapon. Overall, he's having a solid season and is the team leader.
H2H
Monaco has defeated ASVEL in their last six EuroLeague encounters.
Prediction
ASVEL has long lost motivation, which the opponent must capitalize on. The visitors are expected to secure a victory and maintain their current fourth position in the standings. I'm betting on Monaco's success with a -3 point spread.
