Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #3 – Alba Berlin Points Under 82.5 – 2.058.
Valencia has certainly looked good in recent matches, but the Spaniards have been a lot worse away. They have lost three of their four games away from home. It’s possible that Mumbru’s charges won’t be able to put on their best performance in Berlin. We think that Alba will have a good opportunity to win.
In their last meeting, the teams scored 160 points. It’s unlikely their rivals will play better this time around. They’ve been struggling a lot lately.
The Berliners have not scored more than 82 points in their last three games.
Alba Berlin left the bottom of the table briefly, but recent results have sent them back. The Berlin side is once again failing. In the previous game, for example, Gonzalez’s side failed to beat Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv (74-87) on the road. In that match, Jaleen Smith scored 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.
The last time Alba won was a fortnight ago. That time, the Germans defeated Olimpia from Milan (83-63). Playing on home soil is a great opportunity to thrill their fans once again.
Alba has lost 70% of its matches of the season.
In both teams’ matches, 162 points are scored on average.
Valencia seems to have found some stability. In recent games, Mumbru’s men have been playing very interesting games and, most importantly, winning. This allows them to keep their chances of winning one of the playoffs.
Against Alba, the Bats are in high spirits, having won three Euroleague games. In their last games, they defeated Anadolu Efes (81-71), ASVEL (83-79) and Partizan (89-81).
In the game against Partizan, Bojan Dubljevic scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.
Valencia has won 50% of its meetings this season.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Alba Berlin: Jaleen Smith – Maodo Lô – Louis Olinde – Luke Sikma – Christ Koumadje.
Valencia Basket: Chris Jones – Klemen Prepelič – Josep Puerto – James Webb III – Bojan Dubljević.
The fixture will be played at Mercedes-Benz Arena (14.500) in Berlin, Germany.
This starting whistle will sound on the 26th of January 2023, at 19:00 UK Time.
