Safe Pick🔒
There might not be a truly 'safe' pick this week, which tells you everything you need to know about how competitive the EuroLeague Women season is shaping up to be. That said, if I had to put my neck on the block, I’d back Beretta Famila Schio to get the job done at home against Sopron Basket. It's not a 'gimme', but Schio’s quality and home-court edge tip the scales.
50/50🪙
Casademont Zaragoza against Umana Reyer Venezia is as tough to call as they come. Reyer is coming off an eye-catching upset and will bring plenty of belief into this one. But Zaragoza are starting to build momentum and have already shown they can win tight games. This one feels like it could go either way.
Wildcard 🃏
Some might not see this as a true wildcard, others might think I’ve lost the plot entirely — but I could see Valencia Basket Club beating Fenerbahce Opet. On their home court, Valencia are tough. If they can find a way to contain Fener’s frontcourt, we could be looking at the shock of the week.
