Will FCB continue their winning streak against EWE Baskets?
The FC Bayern Munich basketball team is dominating the BBL at will. They have been unbeaten in the German top flight since the seventh matchday and this run of victories has catapulted them into second place in today’s Basketball Bundesliga. Bayern are now aiming for their next win on Monday evening when they host EWE Baskets Oldenburg.
As expected, the FCB basketball team are the clear favorites against the team from Lower Saxony. The best bookmakers are offering odds of just 1.13 for a Bayern vs Oldenburg BBL bet today. The last time the two clubs met, Bayern celebrated a 101:73 victory – a good omen ahead of Monday’s game in the Basketball Bundesliga?
After three defeats in a row, EWE Baskets recently showed a defiant reaction and remained unbeaten on the last three matchdays. However, two of those three victories came at home
On the other hand, Oldenburg has already lost four out of nine BBL games away from home. It is quite possible that the FCB basketball team’s record will deteriorate further. Our Bayern vs Oldenburg prediction is based on this
Bayern – Statistics & current form
The FCB basketball team played two matches in the Euroleague during the week. After an impressive win against Baskonia – 112:109 in overtime, mind you – the Munich basketball team suffered a 72:76 defeat at home to Olympiakos.
It was a bitter setback, as FCB missed a great opportunity to close the gap on the play-off places. Head Coach Pablo Laso’s team still led 38:35 at half-time, but the tired Munich side buckled in the next two periods and squandered its half-time lead.
It was only their second defeat in the last seven competitive games. Both in the Euroleague, mind you. Bayern, on the other hand, has been unbeaten in the BBL since the seventh matchday. It is therefore understandable that FCB will approach the home game against Oldenburg as clear favorites. Just a few months ago, Munich rolled over the EWE Baskets in the Cup
Will the home series against the EWE Baskets continue?
The club from Munich has not lost a home game against Oldenburg since June 2020. The FCB basketball team has therefore won the last five home games in a row against EWE Baskets. If Munich continue this winning streak, odds of just 1.13 are available for a bet on FCB in the Bayern vs. Bayern have won by 12+ points in each of their last two home games.
In the last two matches – both in the Euroleague – Serge Ibaka was sometimes the best player on the Munich side. The Spaniard scored a total of 21 points in the showdown against Baskonia. Against Olympiakos, on the other hand, Ibaka scored 18 points and was – on a par with Francisco – Munich’s best shooter
It’s quite possible that former NBA star Serge Ibaka will also shine against Oldenburg
Predicted Bayern line-up:
Lucic – Giffey – Ibaka – Bolmaro – Edwards
Oldenburg – Statistics & current form
The EWE Baskets Oldenburg have ended their slump in the BBL and, after three defeats in a row, have recently bagged three wins in a row again. The impressive 106:85 win over BG Göttingen was followed by a 91:80 coup at Hamburg Towers. In the last Bundesliga game, on the other hand, there was a 91:85 victory against CL participant MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg to celebrate.
The winning streak is now set to continue against the FCB basketball team. In the first half of the season, EWE Baskets beat Munich 77:67 and so celebrated its fourth home win in a row against FCB’s basketball team. On the other hand, the EW Baskets have disappointed away from home and have not scored in Munich for almost four years.
It is possible that Oldenburg’s negative streak will continue this time. The EWE Baskets have already lost four out of nine away games in the current Bundesliga season. Oldenburg has conceded an average of 83.44 points per game in these nine matches. Since the 89:71 win at Syntainics MBC, Oldenburg has conceded 80+ points three times in a row
Can Oldenburg keep the strong FCB offense in check?
In the first half of the season, the EWE Baskets defied the strong FCB squad and kept their opponents’ offense in check with just 67 points. However, Oldenburg was outplayed in the Cup and conceded 101 points in the 73:101 defeat in October 2023. It therefore remains to be seen how the team of Head Coach Pedro Calles will perform this time.
The form curve in recent Bundesliga games is encouraging. Lower Saxony’s offense in particular has impressed. After all, they have scored 90+ points in each of the last three German league games that Oldenburg has won. If the EWE Baskets take the momentum with them, it at least stands to reason that Oldenburg will deliver a game at eye level.
DeWayne Russel has been one of the best scorers for the club from Lower Saxony in the last three Bundesliga games. The American, who plays in the guard position, even cracked the 20-point mark against Göttingen.
Predicted line-up for Oldenburg:
Brown – Izundu – Russel – Schoorman – Wank
Bayern – Oldenburg head-to-head comparison / H2H record
The two clubs meet for the 34th time. The FC Bayern Munich basketball team leads the H2H against EWE Baskets Oldenburg 19-14. In these 33 encounters between the two teams, an average of 162.63 points have been scored per game. Betting on a high-scoring encounter is therefore by no means absurd this time either.
The two teams have already met twice this season. Oldenburg prevailed in the German Basketball League and extended its home series against FCB with a 77:67 win. The FCB basketball team got revenge in the cup. The team from Munich swept the EWE Baskets out of the arena with a 101:73 victory
Bayern – Oldenburg tip
Munich rounds off the matchday in the BBL on Monday evening. The home game against Oldenburg comes at a good time. The FCB basketball team has won every home game against the EWE Baskets for almost four years. Just a few months ago, the Munich basketball team beat the club from Lower Saxony 101:73 in the cup.
A similar result cannot be ruled out this time either. Bayern has recently put in a strong performance, especially in the Euroleague, even defying elite teams such as Olympiakos. The in-form FCB should therefore not find it too difficult against EWE Baskets and continue its current winning streak – it has won every BBL game since the seventh matchday.
We place our Bayern vs Oldenburg bet on a win for Munich with at least a ten-point lead. We are betting five out of ten possible units on this. Betano currently offers the best odds. Alternatively, bets can also be placed on a high-scoring encounter. The EWE Baskets have scored 90+ points per game in each of their last three BBL games
