LiontipsMaccabi Tel Aviv vs Barcelona. Euroleague match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
The Israeli club is at the bottom of the Euroleague table and continues to search for its game. In the last round, the team suffered a defeat to Paris (81:93), confirming its problems in defense.
Maccabi Tel Aviv are top three outsiders and have not yet shown any readiness to fight for high places. Oded Kattash men will try to improve the situation in the next round, but they will have to face Barcelona, which complicates the situation

The team approaches the meeting without any problems with the lineup.
Interesting facts for betting
In this Euroleague tournament, the Israeli club has recorded three home wins.
Probable line-up: Hoard - Randolph, Da Silva - DiBartolomeo, Jokubaitis.
Current form
The Catalans were recently among the leaders of the Euroleague, but inconsistent play and a recent series of four defeats have dropped them to the eighth place. The club lost to Paris (87:103), Bayern (78:100), Real (90:97) and Panathinaikos (89:90). In the last two rounds, victory was close, but failures at the end deprived Barcelona of important points.
Players like Jabari Parker and Tomas Satoransky continue to show individual class, but the team lacks chemistry. Joan Peñarroya knows that the next match could be key to restoring the team morale.

Nicolas Laprovittola, Chimezie Metu and Raul Neto will miss the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The team has failed to win in the last four rounds of the Euroleague.
Estimated lineup: Abrines – Parker, Vesely – Panter, Satoransky.

1.72Tip and bets
Maccabi form leaves much to be desired, as the team cannot find stability either in defense or in attack. Barcelona, despite a series of defeats, looks more promising.
The Catalans must use their experience and class to achieve success, especially given their recent defeats. In our opinion, the visitors will approach the match more motivated and will be able to show a high level of play to break their losing streak.
Our prediction is a Barcelona win with overtime at 1.77
Bet on total
As far as they can, Maccabi Tel Aviv are doing well in attack, although they don't always think about defense. Barcelona will most likely play aggressively and dynamically, which will help find cracks in the opponent defense. In our opinion, the overall total will be broken.
Forecast - total over 169.5 points for 1.70
Bet on statistics
After four defeats in a row, the Catalans will be in a very determined mood. The individual skill of the team leaders and the weak defense of the opponent give reason to assume that Barcelona will be able to overcome the individual total and show productive basketball.
Prediction - Barcelona individual total over 86 points for 1.79
