Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Points Under 160 – 1.54.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #3 – 1st Quarter Points Over 40.5 – 2.00.
After a setback against Virtus Bologna, Barcelona cannot afford another setback. There’s a good chance that we’ll see a highly motivated Catalan in this encounter. They shouldn’t have any problems in this encounter.
ASVEL is one of the most boring teams in the league. At home, the French are averaging around 78 points, but against Barcelona, it could be lower. The Catalans are excellent defensively, so they won’t give Parker’s men much room. This encounter is unlikely to be very productive.
In Barcelona’s last three games, more than 40.5 points have been scored in the first quarter.
ASVEL was unable to improve its results. Terence Parker’s side has won just six games in the Euroleague. The team from Villeurbanne sit in last but one spot in the standings.
In their most recent matches, ASVEL was unable to produce any success. They failed to offer any resistance to their opponents. In those matches, Terrence Parker’s team lost to Real Madrid (73-92), Alba Berlin (79-91) and Anadolu Efes (72-78).
In the game against Anadolu Efes, Nando de Colo scored 12 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
ASVEL has lost 65% of its matches of the season.
The hosts score an average of 74.1 points per game.
Barcelona is considered one of the best away teams in the league. The Catalans won five of their eight games on foreign soil. This is the second-best result in the Euroleague. Only Real Madrid is better. Thanks to those results, Sarunas Jasikevicius’s charges sit fourth.
It’s worth noting that Barcelona approaches the contest with ASVEL in high spirits. The day before, the Blaugranas once again defeated Real Betis (104-70). Jasikevicius’s men lost their last Euroleague game, however. Last week, they lost to Virtus Bologna (75-83).
In that match, Jan Vesely scored 12 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.
Barcelona has won 65% of its matches.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
LDLC Asvel: Nando de Colo – Retin Obasohan – David Lighty – Charles Kahudi – Yves Pons.
Barcelona Basquet: Nicolás Laprovíttola – Kyle Kuric – Nikola Kalinić – Nikola Mirotić – Jan Veselý.
The fixture will be played at Astroballe (5.556) in Villeurbanne, Lyon, France.
This starting whistle will sound on the 11th of January 2022, at 19:00 UK Time.
