Barcelona didn’t look its best in its recent away matches. The Catalans lost to Zalgiris Kaunas and Anadolu Efes. In addition, they beat Alba Berlin with great difficulty. We think that Monaco will have all the chances to win. The Red and White have an excellent home court performance.
Monaco is too productive a team. Especially at home. Scoring more than 80 points is no problem for Obradovic’s side. We think that the hosts will force the visitors to act quickly.
Monaco is once again unstoppable. Obradovic’s side has already won seven games in a row. In their most recent encounters, the Red and Whites left no chance against ASVEL (97:78) and also defeated Real Madrid (95:94) and Boulogne-Levallois (95:82).
In the Euroleague, Monaco has lost only one match so far. At the end of November, Obradovic’s team lost at home to Fenerbahce (93:96). In the other four matches the team won.
In the game against Real Madrid, Mike James scored 28 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
Monaco has won 80% of its home games of the season.
In the home team’s matches, 160 points are scored on average.
Barcelona suffered another setback last week. This time, the Catalans lost at home to ASVEL (74-75). As hard as Nikola Mirotic tried, his efforts failed to produce the desired result.
It won’t be as easy for the Catalans on the road as it was at home. Outside their home town, Sarunas Jasikevujic’s men have been a little less successful. This season, for example, they lost on the road to Anadolu Efes and Zalgiris.
In the game against ASVEL, Nikola Mirotic scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.
Barcelona has lost 40% of its away encounters.
In the away team’s matches, 158 points are scored on average.
The French have scored more than 81 points in their last three games. We offer to bet on “Monaco Basket Points Over 81.5” with odds of 1.90.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Monaco Basket: Mike James – Jordan Loyd – Yakuba Ouattara – Adrien Moerman – Donatas Motiejūnas.
Barcelona Basquet: Tomáš Satoranský – Nicolás Laprovíttola – Nikola Kalinić – Nikola Mirotić – Mike Tobey.
The fixture will be played at Salle Gaston Médecin (4.700) in Fontvieille, Monaco.
This starting whistle will sound on the 14th of December 2022, at 18:00 UK Time.
