Vitoria (-3.5) - Valencia (+ 3.5) Amid continuing European matches, Vitoria and Valencia are clashing in the Basque country with a prize giving the 3's top score.
The hosts come from home win against Milan, a victory that kept them alive in the hunt for qualifying at 8's top Euroleague teams. The hot seat of the Basque is a guarantee that the team hosted by Vitoria will suffer for another Sunday.
Valencia comes from contiguous European games as Tuesday and Friday faced Chimki for the Eurocup playoffs, leaving open bets for next week. The Spanish team was comfortable on Tuesday at home but lost hands on Friday in Russia and everything will be judged next week at Valencia headquarters again.
Yurokap is a big goal for Valencia as the winner of the tournament wins the ticket for the next Euroleague and I think that in the minds of all will be the next week's final against Khimki and not the match for the championship. In addition to racing fatigue, Valencia has to cope with fatigue on the journey as it has been forced to travel over 4.30 hours by air returning from Russia a few hours before the match with Vitoria.
Vitoria wants the victory to climb 3's position and will certainly have prepared more than Valencia for all the reasons we have discussed above.
