There is probably a no better chance to break Alba’s losing streak. Maccabi is the right side for that. The Israelis are terrible on the road, so the Germans could do well this time. The more so, since their last game against Monaco was a good one.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is unimpressive on the road. In their last two Euroleague games, the Israelis have not scored more than 76 points. It’s likely that the meeting with Alba will be low-scoring.
It seems that even the most loyal Alba Berlin fans no longer believe that the team can win. After an excellent start to the season, Gonzalez’s men have slowed down. The German team has been especially poor in the Euroleague, where they’ve lost 11 games in a row. Not surprisingly, Berlin is considered the tournament’s main underdog.
True, there has been some progress in Alba’s game. In the last round, for example, the Germans put up a stiff challenge to Monaco. Despite the fact the game was played away, the Berlin side lost by a narrow margin (89-92).
Alba Berlin has lost 78% of its matches of the season.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is one of the worst away teams in the league. The Israelis have lost six of their seven away games in the current Euroleague. The only victory they managed to achieve was against Olimpia Milano (77-71).
Despite poor away play, Maccabi finished eighth in the standings. They did so thanks to their success at home. Kattas’ charges won six of their seven home games. In the last game, the team from Tel Aviv left Valencia (84-68) with no chance.
Maccabi has won 50% of its meetings this season.
The Germans have scored more than 84 points in 3 of their last 4 games. We offer to bet on “Alba Berlin Points Over 84.5” with odds of 1.864.
