EuroLeague Semi Finals: Betting Tips & Predictions On Final Four Weekend (2025)

After two incredibly close contests, the 2025 EuroLeague Final Four is set and the remaining teams now head to Abu Dhabi for the semi-finals.

While number one seed Olympiacos Piraeus advanced with a 3-1 series win against Real Madrid, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul easily defeated EuroLeague newcomers Paris Basketball 3-0 to book their place in the Final Four.

Meanwhile, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens and AS Monaco both won their Game 5s to guarantee their spots— the former defeating Anadolu Efes, while the latter edged past Barcelona.

For the first time since the 2022–23 season, Monaco is making a comeback to the Final Four. Olympiacos, Fenerbahce, and Panathinaikos, meanwhile, return after competing at this stage last year.

Without further ado, it’s time to take a look at the latest EuroLeague betting odds as we preview the 2025 Final Four bracket.

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul vs. Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens

Betting Odds

• Fenerbahce – 119/100
• Panathinaikos – 71/100

Fenerbahce hopes to keep on course for its first title since 2017, while defending champion Panathinaikos will continue their pursuit of back-to-back EuroLeague crowns in the opening semi-final.

The Greens won both regular season matchups, although they were extremely close games, with Ergin Ataman’s team winning 76-81 on the road and then a narrow 91-90 success in Athens.

In contrast to Panathinaikos, which required all five games to defeat Anadolu Efes Istanbul, Sarunas Jasikevicius’s side was the most spectacular of all during the playoffs, easily defeating Paris Basketball to gain a few additional days of rest.

While most pregame attention will be focused on the offensive prowess of four-time champion Kostas Sloukas and regular season MVP Kendrick Nunn, a crucial factor in this match may be whether Panathinaikos can replicate the defensive skill that effectively contained Efes’s dangerous scorers in the playoff final.

The Greens will concentrate on dominating the court with players like Juancho Hernangomez, Wenyen Gabriel, and Cedi Osman, while Jerian Grant plays a crucial defensive role to keep the pace under control.

Fenerbahce, on the other hand, has a proven game-winning shooter in Nigel Hayes-Davis, but the Turkish squad mostly depends on a team mentality led by team combo guards Marko Guduric and Devon Hall.

While Wade Baldwin and Errick McCollum’s ability to penetrate from the backcourt adds another layer to a varied approach, perimeter threats Tarik Biberovic, Bonzie Colson, and Nicolo Melli give Fenerbahce a potent combination of size and deep shooting.

Anything else than a close finish would be surprising because this game has all the makings of an instant classic, including two of the most fiercely competitive coaches in the sport, Ataman and Jasikevicius.

Olympiacos Piraeus vs. AS Monaco

Betting Odds

• Olympiacos – 53/100
• AS Monaco – 79/50

As Friday’s action comes to a close, Olympiacos and Monaco will rekindle their burgeoning contemporary rivalry.

Since 2022, the teams have met 14 times, including in the semi-final two years ago, when Olympiacos defeated them 27–2 in the third quarter.

Monaco’s efforts to stop the Greek powerhouse from attempting to impose another defensive grip will be led by Mike James. The great guard scored 20 points in Game 5 of the playoff series against Barcelona, demonstrating his clutch mindset once again.

His backcourt combination with Elie Okobo’s fluid scoring and Matthew Strazel’s threat three-point shooting will help Monaco’s offence.

Sasha Vezenkov, a naturally talented forward who averaged 19 points and 7 rebounds in the 3-1 series triumph against Real Madrid after an incredible regular season, will undoubtedly be a vital component for Olympiacos.

However, the Reds are much more than a one-man show, and the Greek team’s efforts to control the pace will be greatly aided by the leadership of seasoned guards Thomas Walkup and Nigel Williams-Goss.

While the big man duo of Moustapha Fall and Nikola Milutinov will meet Monaco’s Georgios Papagiannis and Daniel Theis in a bone-shattering struggle for physical domination, Evan Fournier and Alec Peters are sure to deliver excellent three-point shooting.

On the sidelines, there is another exciting matchup between legendary Vassilis Spanoulis and his former manager Georgios Bartzokas, who is vying for his second championship after leading a team inspired by Spanoulis to victory in 2013.

Apprentice or master? Vezenkov or James? Stifling defence or free-flowing offence? Who will come out on top and advance to the EuroLeague Championship Game? Only time will tell.
