Baskonia (-9.5) - Betis Basconia welcomes Betis in the 5th game of the Liga Endesa with the victory being a one-way street for the Basques if they want to stay in touch with the top positions in the standings. The total record of Baskonia so far this year is 2-5 while the 4 consecutive defeats may be problematic but if the fact that both of them are in the seats of Kimki and Fenerbahce is taken into account, then they can be considered normal. The defeats that hurt Perasovic's team are those from Malaga and Bilbao that have kept the Basques at 1-3 in the league. Against Basconia, Betis will be lined up, which is also at 1-3 so far in the league, but having clearly faced easier opponents. In particular, the guests have prevailed at the home of Badalona but have been defeated with their hands down when they were called to play away from home with both Valencia and Murcia.
The difference in capacity between the two teams is huge and I expect this to be seen from the first minutes of the match. My choice, therefore, from this match is the ace with a double-digit difference as the hosts have no room for a new twist.
