Stats review: The road ahead

Here's a breakdown of how the four remaining games could impact the postseason race

Only four rounds remain in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season as the end of the road is near. In Round 30, only two teams - Crvena Zvezda Meridian Belgrade and Anadolu Efes Istanbul - secured victories away from their home arenas. With both of those games having a material impact on the playoff picture, it is worth charting the course for the rest of this season’s postseason contenders as the road ahead is more forgiving for some teams than others.

Visiting teams have won only 39% of games this season as road victories remain scarce in some rounds. Looking at the remaining schedules of the teams in and just beyond the playoff picture, only two teams have three road games remaining: Paris Basketball and Zalgiris Kaunas.

Paris scored an important win over EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in Round 30 and given the nightmare run that it faces in the coming weeks, that could wind up being its most important win of the season as Paris will play a trio of playoff-quality teams away from adidas Arena before closing the season with a home game against ALBA Berlin. One of seven teams holding 16 or 17 wins entering the week, there’s a chance it’ll have to win at least one of those three road tests to keep its spot in the Play-In Showdown.

While Paris faces the toughest road to the finish, it is likely that Real Madrid will dictate things in the middle of the standings. While Los Blancos will play two games in Serbia, all four of their remaining games will be against teams still heavily in the mix for a postseason berth.

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, Crvena Zvezda, and Efes each have only one road game remaining, but those come against quality opponents that will still likely have a lot to play for down the stretch.

AS Monaco may have a vested interest in some of those results as it sits at a key inflection point in the standings holding onto the last spot granting home-court advantage in the quarterfinals. Just one game clear of the four teams with 17 wins, Monaco controls its own destiny, but is also the lone contender that will have to travel to Athens to take on Olympiacos Piraeus. While Monaco has managed to stay above the fray in recent weeks, it may need to outperform its 6-6 record in 2025 to avoid the teams behind it down the stretch.

Olympiacos, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens, and FC Bayern Munich have been this season’s toughest teams to beat on the road and the ability of the latter two to hold serve in their own arenas down the stretch could give it some margin for error in their two remaining away games.

With very little decided heading into the final weeks of the season, it will be fascinating to see whether home-court advantage shapes the playoff picture or if some team manages to rise above the trends on the road.
