Euroleague.net's team of experts – Javier Gancedo, Geoff Gillingham, Frankie Sachs and Igor Petrinovic – have made their bold predictions for Round 1 of the 2024-25 season.

Bold predictions, Round 1: Road winners are the theme

Ladies and gentlemen, the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season is upon us! Some 130 days after Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens was last seen lifting the EuroLeague trophy in Berlin, Germany, we are back for the start of a new campaign. 

All 18 teams – which includes one newcomer, Paris Basketball – have everything to play for at this point, and even though it is just Round 1, you can bet your bottom dollar that the Every Game Matters mantra is truer now more than ever.

Ahead of the opening set of games, the [Euroleague.net](http://Euroleague.net) experts have each selected one bold prediction that they believe will come true.

### Milan upsets Monaco on the road

### *By Javier Gancedo*

I really like the way Milan improved its roster this season, adding Josh Nebo to play way above the rim and Neno Dimtrijevic, whose development was one of the best kept secrets in European basketball. Milan has won the Italian Super Cup, Shavon Shields and Nikola Mirotic are healthy, and the team should take off right away, starting with a road win at Salle Gaston Medecin. Even if Mike James plays, it will be his first game of the season after not featuring domestically following surgery. Milan already won in Monaco last season with six players scoring in double digits. Nebo gives Milan a physical advantage in the paint against most teams, being a terrific offensive rebounder. The way I see it, Milan gets its first win right away.

### Partizan among a bunch of road winners

### *by Frankie Sachs*

Is there such thing as a bold prediction in Round 1? Do any of us know anything yet? I can make a case for both teams in almost any game this week. That said, one I believe in that might be going against the grain is that Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade opens the season with a road win. The Partizan lineup is stacked and head coach Zeljko Obradovic knows how to get the most out of talent. Whether they will hit the ground running against a strong Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz team is the only question, and I believe the answer is yes. I would bet that more than half of Round 1 games are won by the road teams, with Partizan standing proudly atop that list.

### Fenerbahce to down Olympiacos in a thriller

### *by Geoff Gillingham*

The standout game in Round 1, at least from my perspective, is when Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul hosts Olympiacos Piraeus – two teams seem like locks to make the Final Four next May – on Friday night. Both teams have done an impressive job at improving their rosters this past summer, but I think new Fenerbahce signings Wade Baldwin, Bonzie Colson and Nicolo Melli will all have telling impacts en route to a opening-round triumph. That is not to say that I think it will be easy; I expect it to go down to the final minutes, then Fenerbahce pulls it out right at the end.

### With or without Larkin, Efes will beat Virtus

### *by Igor Petrinovic*

Will Clyburn, Anadolu Efes Istanbul's second-best scorer (13.3 ppg.) and top rebounder (4.6 rpg.) last season moved from the Turkish side to Virtus Segafredo Bologna over the summer, creating an ideal storyline entering this Round 1 bout. Back in mid-April, Virtus downed Efes on the road in their exciting first-round matchup in the Play-In Showdown. With Clyburn as its new star, Virtus now awaits Efes in the season opener on its home floor at Unipol Arena. So, a bit of addition and subtraction suggests that Virtus, with Clyburn, will have an upper hand on Efes, now without Clyburn, who played more than 28 minute per game a season ago. In addition, Efes might not have Shane Larkin, who missed all of Efes's preseason games, including the Turkish Super Cup on Sunday. But with or without Larkin, I say the Tomislav Mijatovic-led Efes will emerge victorious from Bologna.

Euroleague.net's team of experts have each come up with one valiant forecast ahead of the opening round of the 2024-25 season

The 2024-25 EuroLeague season gets underway on Thursday, October 3, and that marks the start of a new series by Euroleague Basketball called ‘Rivalry Series’, which focuses on one key fixture each round. To kick things off is FC Bayern Munich hosting Real Madrid this Thursday night at the brand-new SAP Garden, which opens its doors on the continental stage for the first time. 

The EuroLeague's Rivalry Series is ready for lift-off

The 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season gets underway on Thursday, October 3, and that marks the start of a new series by Euroleague Basketball called ‘Rivalry Series’, which focuses on one key fixture each round. To kick things off is FC Bayern Munich hosting Real Madrid this Thursday night at the brand-new SAP Garden, which opens its doors on the continental stage for the first time.

Rivalry Series games will build on historic and new rivalries around the league by focusing on creating momentum on a round-by-round basis, sparking the conversation among fans.  Rivalry Series will hit EuroLeague platforms using a 360º strategy, be that on social media, the website or the broadcast itself. On-site social media coverage, a pre- and post-game show for selected Rivalry Series games, special podcasts recorded at the newly built studio at Euroleague Basketball headquarters and much more to bring fans even closer to the action for the biggest games in the EuroLeague calendar.

Rivalry Series fixtures will include the Istanbul, Spanish, Greek, Serbian and Italian derbies, as well as the clash between Paris Basketball and Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens – last year’s winners of the BKT EuroCup and EuroLeague, respectively – and a rematch of the 2024 championship game between the Greens and Real Madrid, among many more.

Fans will be brought even closer to the protagonists – the players

Fans of the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge are in for a treat heading into the 2024-25 season. Here's is a reminder of the basic rules, deadlines, scoring charts, and some important tips from our experts on details that can make your teams more successful, all in one place.

EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge: Rules, deadlines and tips

For all fans and managers competing in the [EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge](https://fantasychallenge.page.link/game), here is a reminder of the basic rules, deadlines, scoring charts, and some important tips from our experts on details that can make your teams more successful, all in one place.

### Basic Rules

Fantasy managers get 100 credits per team to build their initial team: a squad of four guards, four forwards, two centers and one head coach. So, a total of 10 players and one coach.

### Deadlines

At the end of each **round,** you can sell and buy players to improve your fantasy team. All the changes on each fantasy team need to be submitted before the first game of the next round tips off.

Each round is divided into **turns**, which are equivalent to the block of games played on a single day. Between Turn 1 and Turn 2, you can change the formation, captain and make alterations between those on court and those on the bench. You can move players from the bench into your starting five, or from the bench to the role of sixth man, only if those players have not played yet.

### Scoring

The players in your fantasy team get a score based on the real statistics recorded in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season. The starting five players, the sixth man and the coach get 100% of the points, while the players on the bench get 50%.

A selected captain among the players in your starting five will have his score multiplied by 1.5x.

### Trades

Between the end of each round and the beginning of the next one, the **trade market** opens. Fantasy managers can either trade four players and retain their head coach, or they can trade three players and change their coach. Ahead of a few specific rounds, trades will be unlimited.

The dates for unlimited trades are:

1. **After Round 4**: October 19-23
2. **After Round 10**: November 16-20
3. **After Round 17**: December 21-26
4. **After Round 22**: January 18-23
5. **After Round 26**: February 8-27
6. Fantasy managers can make **unlimited alterations** to their rosters **during the postseason**, too, because the number of trades per round are unlimited during the play-in, playoff and Final Four phases.

### Tips

These are some of the most important tips:

- Edit your team every round in order to have a team of 10 players that are distributed over the different turns. Before the beginning of the round, always line up the players who take to the court in Turn 1 (T1): you can then replace them after the turn finished if you are not satisfied.
- Make sure to check the players' injury status via the injury report on [Euroleague.net](http://Euroleague.net)
- Keep an eye on the calendar for possible/potential winning streaks, as well as favorable matchups for the players on your fantasy teams.
- Don't forget about your head coach.

**Prizes**

The list of available prizes for the 2024-25 season includes tickets to games, official EuroLeague jerseys and basketballs, subscriptions to EuroLeague TV and more, highlighted by the grand prize: a VIP package for the winner and a friend to attend the 2025 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four, including flights, four hotel nights and VIP tickets.

A few things to keep in mind when putting together your fantasy teams throughout the season

Two of the most clutch players in the EuroLeague, Baskonia's Markus Howard and KK Partizan's Iffe Lundberg, will go head-to-head in Round 1 of the 2024-25 season.

Markus Howard, Iffe Lundberg ready to battle in Round 1 shootout

The opening round of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season is jam-packed with must-watch games featuring a plethora of top players, but one of the most exciting matchups takes place in Vitoria-Gasteiz as Baskonia welcomes Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade.

Among the many stars in that clash are two of last season's most clutch players, Baskonia's [Markus Howard](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/markus-howard/011948/) and Partizan's [Iffe Lundberg](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/iffe-lundberg/010781/).

Howard was last season's EuroLeague Alphonso Ford Top Scorer Trophy winner, an award he will receive ahead of tipoff on Thursday night, having set the all-time single-season records for points scored (759) and three-pointers made (148). Lundberg averaged 9.4 points last season but, just like Howard, he often had the ball in his hands when it mattered most.

Whether it was a shot to win the game, send it to overtime, or just scoring a tough bucket in a key situation, the two guards repeatedly stepped up in clutch situations in 2023-24. On Thursday, they will have a chance to come to the fore once again.

FC Bayern Basketball hosts Real Madrid in the first-ever EuroLeague game at SAP Garden, the German club's new home.

Bayern vs. Real Madrid: SAP Garden to open with a bang

A top-class arena has the chance to propel a club into a new dimension, and that is very much what FC Bayern Munich is hoping for. Now entering its 10th Turkish Airlines EuroLeague campaign, the German giant will present its brand-new SAP Garden on the continental stage against the most successful team in EuroLeague history, Real Madrid, in the first Rivalry Series game of the season.

Every new campaign brings new hope and optimism, making this Round 1 clash particularly interesting. Bayern is coming off a summer in which it changed head coach following Pablo Laso’s surprise departure, with [Gordie Herbert](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/fc-bayern-basketball-tabs-world-champion-gordie-herbert-as-head-coach/) – the architect of Germany’s run to a gold medal at the 2023 FIBA World Cup and a fourth-placed finish at the 2024 Olympic Games – being the new man in charge. He has several familiar faces from his time with the national team on Bayern’s roster, including new additions [Oscar da Silva](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/oscar-da-silva/011244/) and [Johannes Voigtmann](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/johannes-voigtmann/007201/), making the adjustment process that much smoother.

For Real, it is coming off three successive trips to the EuroLeague Championship Game and will be hoping for the same again in 2024-25. However, it lost a lot of experience and key players in its rotation this past summer, with [Rudy Fernandez](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/rudy-fernandez-calls-time-on-a-glittering-career/) and [Sergio Rodriguez](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/three-time-euroleague-champ-sergio-rodriguez-retires/) retiring, while [Guerschon Yabusele](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/guerschon-yabusele/010357/), [Fabien Causeur](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/fabien-causeur/001392/) and [Vincent Poirier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/vincent-poirier/004887/) have all sought pastures new. That means that the core players who have remained, like [Walter Tavares](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/walter-tavares/005791/), [Facundo Campazzo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/facundo-campazzo/005928/), [Mario Hezonja](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mario-hezonja/003108/) and [Dzanan Musa](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/dzanan-musa/006540/), will see their roles increase even further. A couple of players have returned to the club this summer, too, in [Serge Ibaka](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/serge-ibaka/003583/) and [Usman Garuba](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/usman-garuba/007630/).

In fact, Ibaka gets an early opportunity to face his former team after returning to Europe last year with Bayern. Aged 35, the veteran big man still posted impressive numbers in Munich, averaging 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks across 28 EuroLeague games, and his one-two punch with Tavares should be deadly all season long. 

Ahead of his big move to Real Madrid, look back some of the highlights in his one-season stay with FC Bayern Munich.

Serge Ibaka | Best 2023-24

If Bayern may be in for a long night in the paint, one area where it may be able to have some joy against Real is at the guard positions. In a new offensive scheme under Coach Herbert, scorers [Carsen Edwards](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/carsen-edwards/011987/), [Shabazz Napier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/shabazz-napier/011224/) and [Andreas Obst](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/andreas-obst/004508/) should be given free rein, with [Nick Weiler-Babb](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nick-weiler-babb/010391/) and [Yam Madar](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/yam-madar/011052/) making their presence felt on defense against Campazzo, in particular.

SAP Garden is able to hold 12,500 fans, way up from the 6,500 capacity of BMW Park, and Bayern will be banking on its fans being the sixth man on Thursday night. Real comes into this game on a four-game winning streak against Bayern, having last lost to the German giant in Madrid in April 2022, and it has been victorious on its last four trips to Munich. The last time Bayern defeated Real at home was in late October 2019, while the only other time it beat *Los Blancos* came in its first-ever EuroLeague campaign in 2013-14.
