Lyon-Villeurbanne vs Partizan Belgrade Best Bet: Tuesday, December 13th

Zeljko Obradovic and Partizan have lost 6 out of their last 7 games. The legendary coach is facing one of the biggest losing streaks in his career. On the other hand, Lyon has been playing better and better. They will host Partizan tonight in L’astobelle Arena and try to clinch their 5th win in the Euroleague this season.

Lyon-Villeurbanne vs Partizan Preview

Tuesday, Dec 13th. 19:00 pm (UK time)

Lyon are currently 15th in the Euroleague standings with 4 wins and 8 losses, having clinched an important road win against the heavily-favoured Barcelona (74-75).
Their biggest strength is their defensive potential. They have been 4th in the Euroleague in steals per game with 7.4, whilst letting their opponents score only 77.4 points per game.
They have a problem on the offensive side of the court, where they are second to last in PPG with only 73.5. They will not face any substantial injury issues, as all their main players will be ready for tonight.

Partizan have lost their last 4 Euroleague games, including the Eternal Derby in the last round against the Crvena Zvezda. After losing a game like this, it is very hard to get back on track mentally. We will be playing tonight against Partizan and hoping they will continue their losing streak in the competition. Having the worst defence in the competition and letting their opponents score almost 90 points per game, we are expecting Partizan to help Lyon develop their offensive game and improve their offensive stats tonight. Partizan will be missing A. Smailagic (C ) with a broken finger, as well as A. Avramovic with a broken arm.

Coach Obradovic is not able to find a winning formula for this team, since they have lost 6 out of 7 last games in all competitions. They are also coming off a loss to an average domestic league team. (Cedevita Olimpia) It is safe to say that a lot of things are not clicking in their roster. We will be trying to take advantage of the moneyline tonight, as it suggests Lyon is only a 2.5 points favourite ( 1.65 home to win 2way), and we see the moneyline at -4.5 for the home team.

These teams have met each other in the last decade 3 times, with Lyon winning 2 of those encounters. Although we do not think this info is conclusive for tonight’s game, it can give us a solid background for our tip at the odds we are taking. We believe Asvel will score over 80 points tonight and secure the win.
