In a lot bad situation the home team is the only team without a win of the first 7 races. In the double match, the first suffered 2 heavy defeats, the first from Maccabi in Israel with 76-62 with the home team playing with the engines off for almost the entire second half and the second in Polis from Efes with 2-94 without showing the slightest resistance. The change of coach did not bring similar results, as a result of which there were reshuffles in the roster, with Mundiai being released and Zoran Dragic and Tai Westber coming. Lovern continues to be absent.
On the other hand, Alba comes from 2 defeats in the double match, the first from Olympiakos at SEF where, despite losing by a margin, it turned the situation around but until then as the final score in the end was in favor of the host with 87-83 and in the second in the derby with Bayern fought it for almost 35 'but in the end suffered another defeat with 69-82. Slowly, all the injured are returning, since after Timan, Erickson, who also played in the game against Bamberg, is expected to make his first appearance this year.
summarizing I do not understand the favoritism of the home team and I do not believe that the 2 newcomers can change the course of things much in such a short time. Alba is unpredictable, she plays full and I will honor her with my choice.
The point I choose is ... Alba (-3.5 pts) in performance 3.15 at stoiximan.
