Lottomatica Rome vs. Montepaschi Siena

The most thrilling game of Italian basketball league with many expectations and optimism on Roma. Line is already dropping from +4 to +3.5 but I am not agree with this movement. Roma don't know how to win against Montepaschi and at this moment their h2h record is 3-10 into Montepaschi side. Roma for sure will have great home crowd support (over 5.000 tickets already sold) but Montepaschi reacted well even at much hotter place in Athens where could win a game.

Montepaschi has only one goal here at it is to win. They did not travelled to Siena after Athens and stayed in Rome to prepare better for this match and accumulate some energy. Piangiani did not used some players in Athens and they energy could be vital tonight in Rome. Such players as Eze, Ress, Lehtaler maybe not ready for delivering a win against Panathinaikos in Euroleague but they have enough experience to compete well in Legabasket battles like this one. They were with the team last year when Montepaschi ruined all Rome's home in final series by defeating them 4-1 in best of 3 series.

 

I expect great match from both teams. Maybe Lottomatica Rome will stay in the game in first half but sooner or later Montepaschi defense and winning mentality should start to dominate on the field. Also Rome defense is allowing 70+ points in most of the games this year and this is another point where Montepaschi can hurt them because Montepaschi defense is looking very strong and usually does not allow opponents to score over 73 points.
