Both teams are set to win as the battle for the Euroleague lead intensifies. Monaco will enter the home court as favourites, but their home results have sometimes been inferior to their away performances. This could be a chance for Bayern, who have been in excellent offensive form of late.
The German club is unlikely to allow the hosts to dominate throughout the match, actively pressing and not losing the tempo. However, given the strengths of Monaco, the probability of their victory remains high. Most likely, the gap in the score will not be large, and the guests will put up a fight.
Our prediction is a victory for Bayern with a handicap of (+8) points at 1.77
