Barcelona is doing well in Valencia. The Catalans have won four of their last five matches in Valencia.
As a rule, the games between Valencia and Barcelona are slow. The Catalans’ recent games haven’t been very entertaining either. Right now, Jasikevicius’s men are focusing too much on defending the basket.
Mumbru’s side has scored more than 78 points in 3 of their last 4 games.
Valencia is slowly emerging from their crisis. In the last two games, the team finally managed to win. In the Liga ACB, Alex Mumbru’s men defeated Obradoiro (103-98). Then, in the Euroleague, they dealt with Alba Berlin (87-73).
Their recent success should encourage Valencia’s players to believe in their own abilities. After all, they didn’t get off to the best start to the new season. In the Liga ACB, for example, Mumbru’s side has lost 2 of its 5 games. They currently sit in ninth place in the standings.
Valencia is averaging 37 rebounds and 16 assists per game this season.
Barcelona is the leader in the Liga ACB. The Catalans have the same number of wins as Gran Canaria and Tenerife. However, Šarūnas Jasikevičius’s side are ahead of their rivals in the best additional points.
Barcelona managed to beat Tenerife at home last week. Laprovittola’s 25 points gave the Catalans the result they needed. The victory came by a score of 67-65.
Barcelona is averaging 19 assists per game this season.
In 3 of Barcelona’s last 4 games, they have scored less than 38.5 points in the first quarter. We offer to bet on “1st Quarter Points – Under 38.5” with odds of 1.91.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Valencia Basket: Chris Jones – Klemen Prepelič – Xabier López-Arostegui – James Webb III – Bojan Dubljević.
Barcelona Basquet: Tomáš Satoranský – Nicolás Laprovíttola – Álex Abrines – Nikola Kalinić – Jan Veselý.
The fixture will be played at Fuente de San Luis (9.000) in Valencia, Spain.
