EuroLeague Prediction: Baskonia vs Besiktas (09-10-2026)

Baskonia host Besiktas at Fernando Buesa Arena on October 9 in EuroLeague Round 4, with both teams coming off domestic victories.

The early numbers point towards another high-scoring game.

Besiktas have been involved in three straight EuroLeague contests reaching at least 177 combined points, while Baskonia have already played two games above 190 this season.

Besiktas have produced one of the clearest early over trends in the EuroLeague.

Their first three games finished 94-96 against Valencia, 109-93 against Maccabi Tel Aviv and 82-95 against Barcelona.

That means all three have cleared the 176.5 line, with Besiktas averaging 95.0 points while allowing 94.7 per game.

Their offence has therefore been productive enough to drive totals even when the opposition controls large stretches of the game.

Baskonia’s profile is similarly encouraging. They opened with a 106-89 defeat to Olympiacos before losing 111-88 at Valencia.

Their 86-76 win against Olimpia Milano was considerably quieter, but they responded domestically by scoring 118 points against Girona on Sunday.

Baskonia shot 52.9% from the field and hit 16 three-pointers in that game.

Defence has been the bigger issue in Europe. Baskonia are allowing 97.7 points per EuroLeague game through three rounds, while scoring 87.7 themselves.

Besiktas are almost identical at the other end, averaging 95.0 while conceding 94.7.

A 176.5 line is naturally demanding, and Baskonia’s game against Milan showed that either side can drag the tempo down.

The overall sample is much more favourable to the over, though: five of the teams’ six combined EuroLeague games have produced at least 177 points.

With both offences already capable of reaching the 90-point range and neither defence showing consistent control, Over 176.5 Total Points is the preferred selection.
