Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Points Under 163 – 1.625.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #3 – ASVEL Points Under 81.5 – 2.058.
Valencia has not been at its best on the road. The Spanish team has lost five of its eight matches on foreign soil. The French team have recently defeated Olympiacos and Partizan at home.
ASVEL has one of the weakest offensive lines. The French are averaging around 77 points on the court. You can’t expect them to be more productive against Valencia. The Spaniards aren’t exactly impressive on the road, either, so we don’t expect the encounter to be overly intense.
The French have scored less than 81 points in 3 of their last 4 games.
ASVEL is desperately trying to climb out of the bottom of the Euroleague standings, but so far the French have been unsuccessful. Terence Parker’s side has managed just six victories. Those results put the Villeurbanne side in last place.
It’s worth noting that ASVEL remain winless since mid-December when they defeated Olympiacos at home (77-75). Since then, Parker’s side has lost four games in a row. In their previous encounters, the Villeurbanne side lost to Anadolu Efes (72-78) and Barcelona Basquet (75-82).
In the match against Barcelona, Youssoupha Fall scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.
ASVEL scores 74.1 points per game on average.
Valencia was occasionally excellent, but the Spaniards’ main problem was inconsistent play. In their last game, for example, Alex Mumbru’s men defeated Anadolu Efes at home (81-71), though they’d lost three games in a row before that.
The prospect of making the playoffs was not too bad for the Bats. They’ve got eight wins so far. Their latest results have them climbing up to 12th place in the standings.
In the match against Anadolu Efes, Josep Puerto scored 15 points and 7 rebounds.
Valencia has lost 62% of its away games of the season.
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.
Valencia Basket: Chris Jones – Jonah Radebaugh – Josep Puerto – Jaime Pradilla – Bojan Dubljević.
The fixture will be played at Astroballe (5.556) in Villeurbanne, Lyon, France.
This starting whistle will sound on the 13th of January 2022, at 19:00 UK Time.
