Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (-5) for Club Joventut Badalona – 1.48.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Points Under 164 – 1.68.
Bilbao has not looked its best in friendlies. The Basques do not appear to be best prepared for the new season. In Badalona, they regularly lose by a wide margin. We believe that the upcoming game will be no exception.
Bilbao has not scored more than 66 points in 2 of its last 3 games. With such an offensive game, it’s hard to expect the encounter to be productive.
Joventut reached the semi-finals in the previous season. Carles Durán’s side battled to qualify for the decider but failed to defeat Barcelona. The team from Badalona failed to cope with the Catalans, losing 1-3.
The new season also began with a clash with Barcelona. In the Spanish Super Cup, Duran’s side lost by a score of 74-91. It was Badalona’s third defeat in their last four games. Before that, they lost to Barcelona and Girona in friendlies.
In four preseason games, Joventut has scored at least 82 points.
Last season, Bilbao was left without a play-off place. Jaume Ponsarnau’s side fought to the last but was unable to beat Gran Canaria. They finished ninth and ended their title fight early.
Before the start of the new season, the Basques played a number of friendlies. They managed to beat Porto (89:73) and DBL Sheffield Sharks (66:60). In their other matches, they lost to CB Breogan (60-80) and Saski Baskonia (87-91).
Bilbao averaged 35.6 rebounds per game last season.
Joventut has scored more than 84 points in 3 of its last 5 games. We offer to bet on “Joventut Points – Over 84.5” with odds of 1.77.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Club Joventut Badalona: Guillem Vives – Kyle Guy, Joel Parra – Henry Ellenson, Ante Tomić.
Bilbao Basket: Ludvig Håkanson – Andrew Goudelock, Xavi Rabaseda – Michale Kyser – Jeff Withey.
The fixture will be played at Pavelló Olímpic (12.500) in Badalona, Catalonia, Spain.
This starting whistle will sound on the 30th of September, 2022, at 20:30 UK Time.
