Khimki (-13.5 AH) - VEF Riga The final stage of the VTB event with 4 couples to compete in a match that is best of 5, ie 3 wins to pass the semifinals. Regarding this particular couple, I will refer briefly to the value that the Alaska is showing and to this great fancy handicraft.
1. There is a clear difference in the quality of the 2 teams, Kimki made a very good year even in Euroleague, he was in a bad state after a small financial crisis with the consequence that he did not go as much as he expected from his roster. She has been solved almost in all positions and after her defeat by Olympiakos in SEF it seems to have recovered quite a while losing only CSKA. On the other hand, the team from Latvia is not the most special, its roster does not frighten against the size of Kimki and her victory against Lokomotiv Kuban in her last round of the regular season came because her opponent was totally indifferent
2. Kimki has shown herself to be particularly strong in her headquarters so far as Flevaris was defeated by Olympiacos, which was also the season that she began to make her "belly" that had the effect of stopping her dreams of a distinction in Euroleague. Mostly for the VTB Liga she had the absolute seat at 9 / 9. The Riga team, despite having played well in the league matches, at 16 and in the match that took place in Kazakhstan, was relatively easy for Astonas to make 2 / 2 in Latvia then to qualify for 8.
3. The delivery shows "Kimki" with the Russians having won 8 victories in an equal number of matches against their current opponent while 4 that was won in Moska won all with 20 points and over.
4. Riga has two negatives compared to her adversary. She has given a lot of games gathered lately with her players being especially tired of being injured because Boutatouta was not able to refresh his basics. From 25 April and then hosts have given a total of 7 games against 2 by Russians who are already restful here and 8 days (a time when their opponents have already fought 2 times). A great disadvantage, of course, is that for Riga the majority of their wounded are players who struggle close to the basket while proceeding to the release of Justin Hamilton, the squad of the team.
5. Like other times, Paddy Power is now too slow to change its prices. (edit the changes in the end but it does not matter I do not fake it for the next time, the analysis started with the purpose of betting -11.5 but I did not get it, it's still worth believing)
