With 3 key absences, Alba ...
Extremely the German team in the group and with victory tonight against the Croatian Chedteva, locks for the next stage. Alba retains record 5-1 so far with a single defeat in Zagreb against their opponents with 75-73. For tonight coach Reneses has to deal with the main absences of Joshiko Saibou, Peyton Siva and Martin Hermannsson, which causes a big gap in the pointguard and the regional shootout. The impact of these absences was also evident on Saturday, when the team received its first defeat in the German championship from the weak Fest with 80-69, staying at a very low score for the data of an excellent aggressive team like Alba. As a result of the absences, some youngsters who did not have previous performances at European level were recruited, and coach Reneses in statements for this tonight match did not look so hot as Alba will be in the next round.
On the other hand, Chedteva (3-3) needs a very good victory in such a place, which will strengthen her chances of qualifying. The team shows a noticeable improvement after the change in technical leadership by measuring 4 with victories and tonight will try to take advantage of the homeless absences, impose its rhythm and try to get a remarkable victory.
Alba's absences cost her aggressively and Cedevita will try to get the game as low as the first between them and try to steal the victory. The original handicap in favor of the Croats no longer exists, but because I believe that in order to stay in the match Cedevita must go to the match at a slow pace, I will combine a handicap of 9,5 points in favor of the guests with the man 176,5, who gives me a combined doubling performance in Stoiximan.
Alba Berlin - Cedevita: 2 (+9.5) & Under 176.5 @ 2.00 Stoiximan
