In their last home game, the London Lions resisted Hapoel. They lost that game by two points. It’s likely that Gran Canaria will also face a tough test. At the very least, they will have to put up a good fight.
Gran Canaria has a pretty good defensive line. In their last two away games, the Spaniards have not conceded more than 79 points. Since the opponents scored 156 points in the first meeting, we think this game will not be a high-scoring encounter.
The Lions have scored more than 79 points in 3 of their last 4 games.
In 3 of Gran Canaria’s last 4 games, over 40.5 points have been scored in the first quarter.
The London Lions are not as hopeless as many thought before the start of the season. After 11 games played, the Brits have five wins, making them seventh in their group standings. The Lions have a good chance of making the playoffs. The main thing is not to lose momentum.
Last week, the London Lions won their next EuroCup game. This time, they defeated the Italian team Trento (84:70). Sam Dekker’s excellent play was the key to the visiting team’s success. The American scored 23 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist.
The London Lions have scored 85.6 points in their last 20 games on average.
Gran Canaria is the leader of Group B. The Spaniards have lost just two games this season. In the other nine, they have managed to celebrate victories. However, on the road, the Islanders have not been as successful so far. They suffered their two defeats away from home.
Before the meeting with the British, Gran Canaria managed to win two matches. In the first, the Spaniards defeated Poland’s Slask Wroclaw (91-79) on the road, while in the second, they defeated Promitheas Patras (91-72).
In the game against Promitheas, Damien Inglis scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
In Gran Canaria’s last 20 games, the average total of points was 165.5.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
London Lions: Luke Nelson – Jordan Taylor – Sam Dekker – Tomislav Zubcic – Kosta Koufos.
Gran Canaria: Ferrán Bassas – A.J. Slaughter – Nicolás Brussino – John Shurna – Aleksander Balcerowski.
The fixture will be played at Copper Box Arena (6.000) in Hackney Wick, Greater London, England.
This starting whistle will sound on the 24th of January, 2023, at 19:30 UK Time.
