At the Astroballe, Villeurbanne hosts Barcelona for the Euroleague. With just one win and six defeats, Villeurbanne is in last place in the standings, and in fact shows that it can not find solutions. In its most recent game it was defeated 76-75 by Alba in Berlin, in a game that was better and could have won. He will not have an easy game today with Barcelona. He will hardly be able to stand up to it, he does not have a competitive rhythm as he was hit by the pandemic, and the team was in quarantine for quite some time. Howard is out, while Lomas is injured.
On the other hand, Barcelona is doing well, it is at the top of the standings with eight wins and one defeat. With Saronas Yassikevitsios it produces a very good image and is effective. In its previous game for the Euroleague, it prevailed at home 76-65 of the Red Star, in a match that went very loosely, distributing the participation time to its players. In the Spanish championship he beat Zaragoza 97-85 easily. Nick Kalathis, who offers a lot to the team, is in good condition.
The quality and experience of Kalathis but also the excellent situation that Barcelona is in, puts us at stake in today's match. I will keep Kalathis scoring a total of over 16 points, assists and rebounds today. Over 16.5 Pont./Rib./Ass.
