In the upcoming fixture between Balkan and Andrea Trinchieri's side, Under 163.5 points is recommended. The absence of Cedi Osman, who has averaged a notably high number of points this season, is expected to significantly impact the visitors' offensive output. Additionally, Balkan demonstrated strong defensive capabilities in their recent game in Sarajevo, further supporting the Under selection. The tip is based on both Osman's injury and the hosts' defensive form, with no other major team news or market conditions highlighted.

Match Preview 


Balkan are not ready to give up on their EuroCup playoff hopes just yet, but to keep them alive, they will have to take down Greek giants PAOK in Botevgrad. The odds are in favor of the visiting side. 

Balkan Showing Signs of Improvement 


Even though we are not halfway through the EuroCup group stages yet, Balkan's chances of reaching the playoff phase have already been reduced to a minimum, with the team sitting bottom of Group D with a 1-5 record. 

Their campaign started with five consecutive defeats, four of which came in October against Bahcesehir (101-60), BC Roma (77-72 after overtime), Lietkabelis (64-57) and Manresa (67-65). 

The losing streak finally came to an end last week, quite unexpectedly in Sarajevo, as Balkan beat heavy favorites KK Bosna 78-69, mainly thanks to their dominance in the paint, with a 41-28 rebounding advantage. Javante McCoy was unstoppable, finishing with 27 points. 

PAOK Looking to Overcome Injury Setback 


Considering the number of big signings and positive changes they made during the summer, PAOK were surely hoping for a better record than 4-2 after six EuroCup rounds. They currently sit in third place, while their star player Cedi Osman has suffered a serious injury. 

They wrapped up the previous month with a narrow 84-81 defeat to Bahcesehir Koleji in Turkey, falling behind early with a 12-point deficit at halftime and never recovering. Osman led the way with 30 points. 

Last week, the Double-Headed Eagles were expected to cruise past BC Roma in front of their home crowd, but this turned into one of their worst defensive performances of the season as they barely snatched a 113-111 victory. Breein Tyree was named man of the match with 27 points.

Verdict

Cedi Osman's injury is going to be a huge problem for Andrea Trinchieri's side, as he averaged an absurd number of points this season. Balkan defended well last week in Sarajevo, so Under 163.5 points looks like the best bet.
