Command Analysis

Alba Berlin

Current form
The German team has long lost its chances of reaching the playoffs. Israel Gonzalez's men have won only four matches in a season and now look unprepared for the Euroleague level. In the last meeting, Alba was defeated by Zalgiris (53:73), showing a weak game in attack and defense.
The club from Berlin has already shifted its focus to the national championship, where it is also necessary to correct the situation. However, they have another difficult match ahead against Crvena Zvezda, which has made a good move.
Disqualifications and injuries
Justin Bean and Martin Hermannsson will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last five matches, the Germans have scored only one victory.
Approximate composition: Schneider-Delow, McCormack-Thomas, McDowell-White.

Crvena Zvezda Beograd

Current form
The Serbian club is fighting for the top 6 of the Euroleague and demonstrates a confident game. In the last two matches, Ioannis Sferopoulos's team scored important victories – in the derby against Partizan (73:71), as well as on the road against ASVEL (73:66).
Crvena Zvezda has gained excellent form and is now heading to Berlin for more points. The Serbs understand that you can't lose points in matches with outsiders, because the competition for a place in the playoffs is very high.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mike Daum will not be playing on the floor due to health problems. Branko Lazic is close to returning to the ranks.
Interesting facts for betting
In 3 of the last 5 face-to-face matches, the Serbs celebrated the victory.
Approximate line-up: Kalinich - Brown, Bolomboy - Miller-McIntyre, Dobrich.

1.92Tip and bets
The current season is a real challenge for Alba. The team rarely wins and looks lost both defensively and offensively. The Germans no longer set themselves big goals, unlike Crvena Zvezda, which is fighting for a place in the top 6. The Serbs are motivated and understand that it is necessary to score points in such matches. In our opinion, the guests will have a confident match, take advantage of the opponent's problems and achieve victory on the road.
Our forecast is the victory of "Red Star", taking into account the handicap (-6.5) points in 1.71
Bet on the total
In attack, Alba has slowed down significantly, which is noticeable by the latest results. Crvena Zvezda also does not always show an over-productive game, especially after two difficult meetings. We assume that the match will take place at a less active pace, and the overall total will not be broken.
Forecast - total less than 168.5 points for 1.67
Betting on statistics
The Berlin club does not show a convincing attacking game, and in recent matches it has completely lost confidence. The Serbs, on the other hand, know how to play defense and are sure to take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses. We believe that Alba will not be able to break through its individual total.
Prediction – Alba's individual total is less than 78.5 points per 1.93
