Maccabi Tel Aviv - Barcelona (winner margin 1-5 pts)

There is no particular interest in my eyes this tonight's 19 Euroleague racing program, but I really like a choice from the rather interesting but also more ambitious game play between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Barcelona.

The two teams are in very good shape and need the victory for their own reasons. Maccabi to continue fighting for a place in 8 and Barcelona to continue holding it, but also to continue to peek at the 4 which will give them a seat advantage in the playoffs.

The two relegated Gladiators are among the 4 teams that achieved 2 / 2 in the double race of last week and go to the best psychological match. Makinimos of Spheropoulos was not very good in the end, curtailing Budoucnost's resistance with 81-76 in Tel Aviv, but 2 days in Moscow probably made his most complete game in this year's defense and attack event, dominating CSKA with the 93-76, after 10, defeated the Russian team.

On the other hand, Barca is the most formidable team of the institution and not just at the moment and goes to Tel Aviv with 9 winning streaks, 5 for Euroleague. Last victories of Milan in Italy and Panathinaikos in Palau Blaugranna, with 2 9 victory ahead of 2 and 4 behind XNUMX.

As the sets of odds of betting companies that give a small two-point advantage to the Spanish team, a very ambitious race is predicted. This is supported by the statistics of the teams that are close, with Maccabi scoring 79 points per game this year and Barca 78, with the Spaniards doing a little better defensive after accepting 76 than 80 received by Maccabi, with the two groups are close to other statistical categories.

So it all comes down to seeing a closed match judged in the details, and the possibility of judging the winner with a difference of maximum 5 points can not leave me unimpaired, especially in the odds I find.

Several Maccabi games at this year's event have been judged on the specific range of points, especially against the good teams that hosted the event, such as 86-89 vs. CSKA, 70-74 vs. Fener, 79-81 vs. Bacon, 94 -92 with Milan, even the most recent one against Budoucnostst with 81-76. That is 5 from 8 this year's home games of the team to date, the winner emerged with 5 points difference or less. Examples include Barcelona, ​​such as 87-86 with Gran Canaria, 85-88 with Zalgiris, 67-64 with Budutsunst and the last 85-90 in Milan, while 2 10 is just this year in XNUMX of the away games, the winner emerged with a double-digit difference, indicating that almost everything is judged in the details.

An option that carries the risk of judging the winner by a difference of 5 points or less, however it is worth betting on this pair and the 2,80 of Winmasters which is big based on the handicaps for the winner of the match and the fair odds I consider to be 2,25 , 2,65 by Stoiximan, while this option is at 365 and BETXNUMX. Except for the Greek company, I think it is worth betting on this eventuality.
