Verona is much lower in class than Virtus Bologna. Even on home soil, Verona has little chance. Scariolo’s side recently defeated Napoli away in convincing fashion. The newcomer is likely to meet the same fate.
Virtus has one of the best defensive lines in the league. They are a very slow team. It is unlikely that Verona will be able to put up a good fight against Scariolo’s side.
In 3 of Virtus Bologna’s last 5 matches, more than 40.5 points have been scored in the first quarter.
Scariolo’s men have scored 86 points or less in 3 of their last 4 games.
Verona is a newcomer to the elite division. Last season, the team played in the Serie A2 Basket. Alessandro Ramagli’s side is inferior to the rest of the squad, which makes it hard for them to produce consistent performance.
Verona has only picked up one win this season. A fortnight ago, in their home game, Tezenis Verona managed to defeat New Basket Brindisi in overtime (100:97). However, in the next round, Ramagli’s side lost away to Dinamo Sassari (79-101).
Verona has averaged 17.5 assists per game in the last two games of the new season.
In the Italian championship, Virtus Bologna is still unbeaten. Sergio Scariolo’s side has won every game. What’s more, the side also won the Italian Supercup. In the final, they beat Dinamo Sassari (72-69).
The team’s encounter with Verona comes after their Euroleague encounter. Two days ago, Scariolo’s men faced Bayern at home. The Italians won that game with a score of 66-63.
Bologna has averaged 17 assists per game in the last two games of the new season.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Tezenis Verona: Alessandro Cappelletti – Karvel Anderson – Guido Rosselli – Francesco Candussi – Taylor Smith.
Virtus Segafredo Bologna: Gabriel Lundberg – Miloš Teodosić – Jordan Mickey – Kyle Weems – Gora Camara.
The fixture will be played at AGSM Forum (5.350) in Verona, Veneto, Italy.
This starting whistle will sound on the 15th of October, 2022, at 19:30 UK Time.
