ASVEL is completely unimpressive in action, so we think Monaco will win. This season, the teams have played two head-to-head encounters. In those encounters, Obradovic’s charges confidently enough defeated the team from Villeurbanne. Given the opponents’ recent results, we suggest that the visitors should be favoured.
In December, ASVEL lost to Monaco (75-84) at home in the Euroleague. It’s unlikely that ASVEL will be able to play better. They’ve got a lot of fever, so we doubt the game will be very entertaining.
Monaco has scored more than 82 points in its last three games.
The reigning champions have failed so far this season. Terence Parker’s side have failed to find stability. They’ve been failing too often, which is why they’re fifth in the standings. ASVEL have only ten wins under their belt.
It’s worth noting that the team from Villeurbanne perform excellently on home soil. This season, ASVEL has won 7 out of 8 matches at home. The only defeat for Parker’s side came against Le Mans (91-95).
In the last match in the LNB Pro A, ASVEL defeated Paris (86-69). In that match, Nando de Colo scored 20 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.
Monaco has won 83% of its games of the season.
After 18 matches played, Monaco has 15 wins. These successes allow the team to top the standings. They are one win ahead of their nearest pursuer, Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92.
Last time in the French championship, the Red and White suffered a defeat in mid-November, when they lost on the road to Le Portel (81-89). That, by the way, was the team’s only road loss in the regular season. In the other eight games, Monaco celebrated victory on foreign soil.
In the last match of the LNB Pro A, Monaco defeated Nancy (83-79). In that match, Elle Okobo scored 19 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists.
The visitors are averaging 89.9 points per game this season.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
LDLC Asvel: Nando de Colo – Dee Bost – David Lighty – Amine Noua – Youssoupha Fall.
Monaco Basket: Mike James – Jordan Loyd – Jaron Blossomgame – John Brown – Donatas Motiejūnas.
In 3 of ASVEL’s last 4 matches, more than 41.5 points were scored in the first quarter. We offer to bet on “1st Quarter Points Over 41.5” with odds of 1.89.
The fixture will be played at Astroballe (5.556) in Villeurbanne, Lyon, France.
This starting whistle will sound on the 29th of January, 2023, at 16:00 UK Time.
