A small warm-up with a eurocup before the two days of the euroleague with the game in Podgorica where Buduknost welcomes Virtus Bologna.
The season has started exceptionally for the hosts, who after the double in Ulm Valencia also prevailed having 2/2 in the organization while in the Adriatic League they have lost only to the Red Star in Belgrade the 2nd match. A month has passed since then and only 6 wins count the number. The roster this year seems to be for big things (the results so far show this) having acquired several players with participations in the Euroleague (Mitzov, Jakodic, Reed, Wiley). In almost every game there is a different protagonist that makes it even more difficult to deal with. Let's add its hot seat, although with the coveted measures it has lost a bit of its dynamics.
On the other hand, Virtus of the many stars is one of the big favorites for the title, but lately "Scariolo"'s boat is "running out of water". In the eurocup, of course, he has made it 2/2, but in the Italian league, he suffered the second defeat in a row from the newly enlightened Dertona with the heavy 93-76. There are many absentees who will make the task even more difficult. (Udoh, Abbas) and doubtful Bellinelli, Panzola who is one of the best in the team.
summarizing the host is on a very good moon and will hardly put in troubled Virtus. Especially if the doubtful Bellinelli and Panzola are missing, things will become even more difficult. However, there is talent on both sides, so I expect a big score, as happened last year.
The point I choose is ... Buduknost (+6.5 & Over 162.5 pts) in performance 3.02 at stoiximan.
