Monaco vs Baskonia prediction & H2H – February 5, 2025
Monaco
Baskonia
In the 25th round of the EuroLeague regular season, a matchup between Monaco and Baskonia will take place. The game is scheduled for Wednesday, February 5, with a 19:00 CET start time. I suggest a bet on the winner of this game.
Match Preview
Monaco has been consistently performing in the upper part of the standings and demonstrates confident play throughout the current season. The French team relies on aggressive defense and the individual skills of their leaders, who often bring positive results.
In recent matches, the Monegasques defeated Virtus and Real Madrid, which helped them secure third place in the standings. A playoff spot seems more and more achievable, and the team could even surprise everyone.
Baskonia continues to fight for a spot in the play-in zone, but their main issue is inconsistency on the road. The Spanish club has won only two away games, causing them to fall behind direct competitors.
Their current 15th place still gives Baskonia a chance to finish in the top-10, but with each game, their chances decrease. They trail Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Milan by three victories and absolutely cannot afford to lose in the next game.
Match Facts
- Monaco has won five consecutive matches.
- Baskonia has lost three consecutive away games in the EuroLeague.
- Monaco averages 90 points per game at home, while Baskonia averages 76 points per game on the road.
Key Player to Watch
Mike James is the player around whom the French team builds their play. The 34-year-old American scores over 15 points per game and excels in playmaking, averaging more than 5 assists.
Head-to-Head
Baskonia has only managed to defeat Monaco once, losing the other six encounters.
Prediction
Monaco is the favorite, and considering their push for a playoff spot, they cannot afford to slip up. I suggest betting on a Monaco victory with a -5 points spread.
