I’m going to talk about the ProA game Fraport Skyliners Frankfurt – Baskets Koblenz, which will take place on February 4, 2024, at 14:00 GMT. This is part of Week 20 out of 34 in the league. I’ll give you some background information on how the league works, compare the performance of the two teams, and look at the odds from the bookmakers to see any trends.
All about the ProA
The ProA is the league that ranks second in professional club basketball in Germany. It is part of the 2. Basketball Bundesliga, which also includes the ProB, the third-tier league. This league consists of 18 teams that compete in a regular season and a playoff stage. The top two teams from the ProA advance to the Basketball Bundesliga, the highest level of basketball in Germany, while the bottom two teams go back to the ProB. It was established in 2007 as a result of a reform of the German basketball system. The current champion of the ProA is SC Rasta Vechta, who defeated Tigers Tübingen in the 2022/23 final.

Update
We have reached the end of a long week, and it is time to make our pick for Fraport Skyliners Frankfurt – Baskets Koblenz. In case you forgot, this is a match for the German ProA league between the 4th and the 13th ranked team. Let’s review how both sides are doing before we can make our choice.
Our home team, Fraport Skyliners Frankfurt, is doing great at the top of the table. Their last game was a confident away 68-94 win against Bochum. Frankfurt dominated the game from the start and gave the hosts no chance. With a strong 9:17 in the first quarter, they laid the foundation for success and extended their lead to 33:38 by halftime. Even after the break, the Skyliners didn’t let up and showed a unified team performance. Our away team, despite being at the bottom of the table, surprised Paderborn with a 75-79 victory. They led by seven points in the first quarter, but Paderborn reduced the difference in the second quarter. The third quarter was close, but Baskets Koblenz stayed ahead by three points. In the final quarter, they scored a decisive three-pointer and won by four points.
The current positions of both teams and the H2H record both point to the Skyliners as the favorite to win. Logically, the odds in the 1×2 market are not at all interesting and lack value. So, taking into account the scores of their last matches we are going to opt for the Over 154.5 market. What’s next?
