Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Points Over 166 – 1.69.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #3 – Alba Berlin Points Over 81.5 – 1.765.
Monaco has been too unconvincing in recent away matches. Obradovic’s side has lost its previous four games and won against Real Madrid by a single point. It’s likely that the Red and Whites will face another tough encounter. We doubt that the visitors will pull off a convincing win.
At home, Alba averages 82.7 points. Monaco’s away record is 79.6. With that in mind, we expect the encounter between the teams to be a high-scoring one.
The Germans have scored more than 80 points in 3 of their last 5 games.
Alba Berlin is trying to climb out of the bottom of the standings, but so far, the Germans haven’t been successful. In the current Euroleague season, the Berlin side has won only six games. That leaves Gonzalez’s men in last place.
Last week, Alba Berlin played against Valencia at home. They failed to overcome the Spanish side (88-94). Maodo Lo scored 25 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. However, that wasn’t enough for the win.
Monaco has lost four away matches in a row.
In the home team’s matches, the average score is 162 points.
Monaco continues to fight for the Euroleague top spot. Obradovic’s side has been doing well so far. The Red and White have won 13 of their 21 games. That result puts the team in fifth place.
Away Monaco is not as successful as at home, but the team have some achievements. For example, Obradović’s charges have won 5 of their 11 matches, although the recent matches cannot be called successful. Monaco Basket lost to Crvena Zvezda (68-92) and Fenerbahce (94-98).
However, Monaco Basket defeated Olimpia Milano in the last match. In that game, Mike James scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists.
In the away team’s matches, the average score is 160 points.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Alba Berlin: Jaleen Smith – Maodo Lô – Gabriele Procida – Luke Sikma – Christ Koumadje.
Monaco Basket: Mike James – Jordan Loyd – Jaron Blossomgame – John Brown – Donatas Motiejūnas.
The fixture will be played at Mercedes-Benz Arena (14.500) in Berlin, Germany.
This starting whistle will sound on the 1st of February 2023, at 19:00 UK Time.
