The third pontoon on this night comes from Germany where Brose Bamberg receives the Catalan visit to Barcelona.
Brose Bamberg has 3 victories in 6 games in Euroleague, winning home match with Basconia and on Unicaja and Crvena Zvezda. The German team finished last season with Euroleague 13th out of 16 participants. Internally, the hosts of this evening do not take it phenomenally, managing only 5 wins in 8 games and taking the 8th place in a championship that he should have dominated.
Barcelona fans come after a disappointing season in which they finished sixth and were eliminated in the first round of the play off of Valencia, the team that won the championship. The lot is crowded with stars and for this season, Barcelona is seen by specialists as Real Madrid’s main contender for the title of champion. Finnish Kopponen, Americans Pressey and Sanders and French Seraphin are part of the team. After a very good start this season with 4 wins in the domestic championship and a home win in Euroleague with Panathinaikos, Barcelona lost 5 lamentable games, 3 in Euroleague and 2 in the championship. The Catalan team showed signs of winning three of the last four games, with Olympiakos in the Euroleague, with Bilbao in the domestic championship and especially a spectacular victory over Real Madrid’s defense parcel three days ago. Boat ranks 12th in the Euroleague and needs a win as air.
Barcelona is the top value team and comes here in shape but there is the risk that the huge effort made with Real Madrid will be paid today and the Catalan team will not keep pace for 40 minutes. That’s why I’m counting on a strong start and Barcelona to take a break
