Monaco vs Baskonia prediction and H2H – 13 February 2026
Monaco
Baskonia
As part of the 28th round of the EuroLeague regular season, Monaco will face off against Baskonia. The clash will take place in France on Friday, February 13. Tip-off is scheduled for 19:30 Central European Time. I’m offering a bet on the winner of this game.
Match preview
Monaco continues to deliver a solid performance in the 2025/26 EuroLeague season, holding a steady position around the top 10 and boasting an impressive average scoring rate in regular season contests. The team has shown consistency, and their home games often turn into a scoring spectacle for the fans.
In recent outings, Monaco has racked up several impressive victories, executing their shots efficiently and showing excellent ball movement. The squad is defined by its balanced playing style—beyond their scoring ability, Monaco displays solid defensive cohesion and frequently dominates the rebounding battle.
However, the Monegasques have also experienced challenging moments. A string of losses has made their fight for a direct playoff spot tougher. This highlights that Monaco can lose focus when facing fast-paced, aggressive pressing.
Monaco is sometimes prone to lapses during crucial stretches of games. Notably, defeats against Virtus, Bayern, and Crvena Zvezda have stood out, and the team hasn’t claimed a EuroLeague win in over a month.
Baskonia is a team marked by pronounced swings in form—they’re capable of offensive surges but struggle defensively on the road. In the EuroLeague regular season, the Basques have often played at a high tempo and shot the ball well, but their defense remains a weak point, as seen in points allowed stats.
During this stretch of the season, Baskonia has secured important home wins, including a 102-91 victory over Zalgiris, where they controlled the tempo and executed their attacks with precision. Still, their away performances are noticeably less convincing.
Despite this, Baskonia remains a dangerous side, but they struggle to control the pace away from home. That said, the Spaniards are capable of surprising a favorite, especially in games where they push for an up-tempo style.
In the Spanish ACB, Baskonia is doing fairly well, but in the EuroLeague, their playoff hopes are all but gone. They trail the tenth spot by six wins, with only 11 games left in the regular season.
Match facts
- Monaco has lost five EuroLeague games in a row.
- Baskonia has just one win in their last four outings.
- Monaco averages 97 points per game at home, while Baskonia averages 84 points per game on the road.
Players to watch
35-year-old Mike James continues to be the leader for Monaco. His contribution remains invaluable, and his 17+ points per EuroLeague game make the American guard the team’s primary offensive weapon.
H2H
Baskonia has never defeated Monaco on their home court.
Prediction
Monaco looks considerably stronger, even though they’ve struggled for results lately. The matchup against Baskonia is a perfect opportunity to snap their losing streak, and a bet on the hosts to win with a -4 point handicap seems well justified.
