06/10/2016 17:00 BST – CSM Oradea v Lukoil Academic Sofia – Betting Tips
There isn’t much separating these two teams which means we should be in for a cracking evening in Qualifying Round 2 in the FIBA Champions League. The Bulgarian champions head to Romania with a lead to defend but it is a slim lead, so this is a tie that can definitely go either way.
The final score in the opening leg was:
Lukoil Academic Sofia 75 v CSM Oradea 72
The turning point in the opening game, and perhaps the tie, came in the last quarter and a 10-0 scoring run that pushed the Bulgarians ahead in the cost. The hosts started brightly but a tactical switch from the Romanians flipped the game around, forcing the hosts to shoot from deep, something which they didn’t appear too comfortable with.
With just over 5 minutes left on the lock, the hosts took a 1 point lead, going ahead 67-66 but this was part of a 10 point scoring run that would eventually see them lead 71-66 with less than three and a half minutes on the clock. The Romanians rallied, narrowing the gap and it is all to play for on Thursday evening.

The hosts were boosted by Maksym Korniienko who grabbed 18 points and 9 rebounds while Hristo Zahariev provided 17 points (10 in the opening quarter) in the game. Sean Denison turned in a disappointing showing for the Romanian side, grabbing just 4 points over the course of the evening. In Qualification Round 1, Denison managed to average 12.5 points. It is natural to face tougher opposition as you progress in a tournament but the Oradea fans would have been expecting more from a player that has bene in fine form for them on many occasions.
The bookies believe that Oradea will just edge through into the FIBA Champions League. Taking CSM Oradea at -4.5, which you can find at odds of 1.83, will see you happy if the Romanians book their passage into the group stage. If you’re looking for the Over/Under market, you should look to go OVER 149.0 which is on offer at odds of 1.83. Bet Now!
