Barcelona - Zenit (+8.5 & Under 155.5 pts)

Fifth game of the series with the current winner traveling to the Final Four in Cologne. The score is 2-2 with the teams having achieved a victory inside and outside.

Barcelona would probably expect things to turn out a bit better as the rookie and very deficient Zenit has proved to be a very tough nut to crack. 4 matches have been played so far and if you subtract the last one that Zenit won relatively easily, the rest were derbies in every sense of the word. The big star of Barcelona, ​​Mirotic is out of place and time, having scored a total of 36 points. (9 points) having tragic percentages in 2 point shots (7/25 28%) which are most of his efforts. In the last top scorer of Barça was Kalathis which shows that something is not working well or that the opponent is very well read. there are no absences.

On the other hand, Zenit goes for the big surprise as before the start of the series, most people talked about the Barcelona broom and something like that.. The leader of this team is the former Blaugrana Pangos who is really making a career season and especially in the playoffs are the A and the Z of the team. There are 2 very important shortcomings in the team (they will be missing today as well) of Ponitkas and Gudaitis but the team managed to camouflage them and is now one breath away from qualifying. Coach Pascual rightly relieved the team from too much stress by saying that the team that has reached this point is already successful.

Summing up I think that remains the favorite for the qualifying victory Barcelona but I believe that Zenit has found the buttons of its opponent and will put it again very difficult. Barcelona will have to overcome and its weight needs something that its opponent does not have. Speaking about the 2 best defenses of the tournament with the importance of the match and with what we have seen so far, Under is definitely among the options, hoping that the match will not be extended.

The point I choose is ... Zenith (+8.5 & Under 155.5 pts) in performance 2.42 at stoiximan.
