Varese is much better team when they play at home. But results and table standings have too much weight in this line. Varese is at the bottom of the table but if we will take closer look into their home record we will notice that Varese experience lack of luck playing at home. Currently they have 3-5 record at home but they lost 2 games in OT and other 2 games were lost by 6 points or lower. Also they have lost only one game at home by more than 6 points to Snaidero at the start of championship. From latest team news it is worth to mention that Varese signed T.Brown (18 pts in last game against Scafati) and Lloreda is a new player today (he is known as great rebounder) to substitute injured Mate Skelin.

Montepaschi will play without Kaukenas and Lavrinovic - 2 very important players in team rotation so Montepaschi will need to find new rotation and also they should find some motivational factors because they have 6 wins than 2nd place team. On other side we have Pierrel D'Orlando which is always fight at home and during last 2 seasons lost only 10 games here and only one game was lost by more than 9 points.
