This week there are six games on Tuesday, November 3 followed by two more on Wednesday, November 4.
Revenge will be on the menu for those clubs who lost the first meetings earlier in the campaign, while Beretta Famila Schio, Casademont Zaragoza, ZVVZ USK Praha and Fenerbahce Tarfin are all looking to protect and extend their unbeaten records.

Expert Picks
This season we're once again calling on the one-two punch of FIBA's global women's basketball specialist Paul Nilsen and EuroLeague Women lead commentator Mark Mills for their predictions.
This week it's Mark who has his second outing of the campaign with his Gameday 4 predictions.
Game | Expert Pick |
|---|---|
Fenerbahce Tarfin (16-20) | |
Emlak Konut (16-20) | |
Flammes Carolo Basket (20+) | |
Athinaikos Qualco (1-5) | |
Casademont Zaragoza (6-10) | |
ZVVZ USK Praha (11-15) | |
Galatsaray Cagdas Faktoring (6-10) | |
Crvena Zvezda (16-20) |
Safe Pick 🔒
This might be one of the harder weeks for safe picks, as the majority of the games are looking pretty competitive. My pick this week might not be the most obvious, but I will go with Crvena Zvezda picking up the win on the road against Kangoeroes Basket Mechelen. They have played solid basketball for long periods of pretty much every game so far, and that consistency brings wins - even more so on the road.
50/50 🪙
This was tough to narrow down to one game, as so many are properly on a knife edge. I have picked the one I find most interesting. On paper, Beretta Famila Schio are unbeaten and Galatasaray Cagdas Faktoring have only won one, so it doesn't feel like this should be close. Schio are looking so smooth, but Galatasaray should be more comfortable with Dorka Juhasz and Marine Fauthoux having had another week to settle in. I expect their production to be much higher this week.
Wildcard 🃏
My wildcard this week is based on the premise that a team stuffed with world class players can only go so long without picking up a win. I think this will be a week for Athinaikos Qualco to get their season started, but Kibirkstis-TOKS have been very impressive. So it won't be an easy task, but I do see the Greek team taking a narrow win.
