Premiere in the FIBA Europe Cup 2 Phase Groups' racing action, with AEK Larnaca starting its obligations to Italy against Varese ...
A group with clear favorites to qualify Italian Barese and Sassari, who will be hardly threatened by AEK Larnaca and Groningen.
Varese has a very good team this season and spent the idle time of the first round of the 1 with 5-1 record. Team playing excellent defense with 2's best defense in the Italian league and coming from 5 winning streak for all of the tournaments. Only Avelino has played at 8 this year, while Ficerbar, Porto and Rilsky, who have passed from there, have suffered heavy defeats in 3, with 20 combining to over 2 points. In fact, he returned with a great victory after stoppage, taking a great double in 61's headquarters in the Italian league of Veneto with 66-XNUMX, once again remarkable in defense.
AEK took advantage of its headquarters and won the final against Minsk with 82-77 and thus passed into the 2 phase. But now the barrel rises up many levels above. It's a tough group and does not allow it to be optimistic about further overtaking and is expected to try along with Groningen to avoid the last position in the group.
Varese's roster is quite a step above that of AEK. The Italian team will want to start defeating its obligations to the group within its strong headquarters. From the moment he is in the form and the fact that he performs very well in the defense, he does not leave much hope to AEK to fight the game. AEK will hardly find a high score against its strong opponent, and it will very hardly keep the Italians too low.
It is difficult for the Cypriot team to endure and stay close to the score in Italy and against an opponent who is not used to throwing turns, so I believe the difference will move over 15 points and for this reason my bet goes to the ace with over 12 points difference at odds of 2,00 on Stoiximan.
