Villeurbanne (+6.5 & Over 166.5 pts) - Khimki M.

Nice game is planned in Lyon where Villeurbanne welcomes Khimki.

Character showed in the latter against Maccabi Villeurbanne and proved that the victories over Barcelona and Panathinaikos were not a firework. 84-81 the final score with the home team withstanding the pressure of Maccabi. He was in front throughout the match and several times with double-digit differences and in 3-4 attempts of the guests for a counterattack they always found a way to escape the score. Fal was again the point of reference with Lighty, Cole and Yaboussele following. Howard is the only doubtful one today.

On the other hand, Khimki for another match was very "light" and easily lost to Barcelona with 87-74. Svend once again took the biggest volume of attacks that were largely inaccurate with Mickey following him in performance and with Karashev and Booker having good moments. This roster would be envied by many teams, but the results of Koutrinaitis would be anything but jealous. There are no absences but this plays a rather small role as in the beginning the team with 7-8 players played much better.

Summing up I think with what both teams have shown so far the ace will come comfortably but when the opponent has such players you are always afraid of waking them up. Villeurbanne at home is no joke and I predict many more matches. So over in the match as both teams have huge offensive talent and ace with coverage for security.

The point I choose is ... Villeurbanne (+6.5 & Over 166.5 pts) in performance 2.80 at stoiximan.
