Panathinaikos are 2.25 favourites to reclaim the crown they have won four times already in the 21st Century. The Greens are keen to reclaim their status at Euroleague’s top team, but will the favourites tag weigh heavy on their shoulders?
Star man: Dimitris Diamantidis
Sportingbet Outright Winner Odds: 2.25
Priced at2.90 to add to their long list of trophies in Barcelona, Maccabi Electra are the second most successful basketball club on the continent over the last decade. They are expected to be in the final come Sunday, but having started the season at long odds, can the team from Tel Aviv be trusted to deliver?
Star man: Jeremy Pargo
Sportingbet Outright Winner Odds: 2.90
Siena have won back-to-back domestic trebles but a European trophy still eludes them, despite going to the 2003, 2004 and 2008 Final Fours. They are 5.75 to shock the Euro basketball scene yet again and in a season full of surprises, will you be tipping the Italians?
Star man: Bo McCalebb
Sportingbet Outright Winner Odds: 5.75
Real Madrid will face Maccabi Electra in the semi-finals of their first Final Four since 1996 but despite being the last remaining Spaniards, are deemed outsiders at 5.25 to lift the Euroleague trophy for a record 9th time. Victory would be sweetened further by winning on great rival Barcelona’s home court, but are you tipping them to end their 16-year drought?
Star man: Felipe Reyes
Sportingbet Outright Winner Odds: 5.25
