1.69Tip and bets
Virtus away and at home are two completely different teams. The Italians are too unconvincing away. They lost 3 and 4 matches away from home and did not try to resist their opponents. It is unlikely that the Italians will be able to hold out in Madrid.
Our prediction is Real with a handicap of (-8.5) points at 1.75
Bet on total
You never know what to expect from Virtus. They are a very unpredictable team that can show terrible attacking play. Most likely, the battle with Real will not be too exciting.
Forecast - total under 167.5 points for 1.72

Forecast - Real: total under 82.5 points for 1.78
