LiontipsBaskonia vs Alba. Euroleague match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
So far, the club from Vitoria-Gasteiz has recorded two victories. Juan Rodriguez guys beat Partizan (88:82) and also played well against Real Madrid (76:72), but it should not be forgotten that these matches took place at home.
There is another side to the coin, as Baskonia has been unsuccessful on the road, and the last match against ASVEL is proof of this (69:76). Chima Moneke and Donta Hall scored 33 points, but this was not enough. The team is behind the top ten, so the next match is extremely important.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts are approaching the match with an optimal line-up.
Interesting facts for betting
Baskonia have won four of their last five home games.
Probable lineup : Hall – Baldwin, Howard – Ndiaye, Cederskis.
Current form
The German team is not in the best shape. Of course, a number of injuries are to blame for this, because of which they have not yet been able to cling to a stable result. After four rounds, Alba is among the outsiders, since they have only one victory.
Israel Gonzalez guys managed to beat only Lyon (84:79), but the matches against Panathinaikos (77:87), Barcelona (73:88) and Fenerbahce (71:78) ended unsuccessfully. Not all is lost yet, but the next match will be away against a serious opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
Malte Delov, Elias Rapicke, Ziga Samara and Matt Thomas are all questionable for the match.
Interesting facts for betting
In their last five games, Alba has only scored more than 80 points in a game twice.

"Alba" can't improve its game due to injuries. It will be hard for the team to face the opponent in the next meeting, especially as guests, so there are not many chances to put up a fight. "Baskonia" now looks much stronger and has not lost once in four rounds at home, so Juan Rodriguez guys have a much better chance of winning.
Our prediction is "Baskonia" with a handicap of (-8.5) points for 1.73
