Measure, do not guess
Measure barefoot on a sheet of paper, from the heel to the longest toe, and use the longer of your two feet. Do not add anything to the result, read the length straight off the chart.

EU 49 stands for 31.5 cm. That is all the chart says: it maps each listed foot length to a size, and there is nothing between the rows.
The gap between 49 and 50 is 0.5 cm.
Whether one particular shoe fits comes down to the size chart of the brand. Compare your measured foot length with that chart and try the shoes on.
