The Twitter profile Lost GPS used the Elo algorithm to determine which teams have the best chances of qualifying for the EuroLeague playoffs
The Twitter profile Lost GPS used the Elo algorithm to determine which teams have the best chances of qualifying for the EuroLeague playoffs.
According to the Elo method, only three teams have a real chance of qualifying: Baskonia with 69%, Zalgiris with 34%, and Anadolu Efes with 9%.
Baskonia has a better chance of qualifying thanks to the results between the three teams, the ease of their remaining schedule, and the fact that they have two of their last three games at home. Additionally, Barcelona has a greater chance of taking the second position from Real Madrid.
As for the teams who haven’t secured their spot yet, Maccabi has a 98% chance, Partizan has a 95% chance, and Fenerbahce has a 94% chance. Valencia (0.4%), Olimpia Milano (0.2%), and Stella Rossa (0.2%) are out of the running.
