Forum Valladolid - Barcelona
Barca, with 7 wins and 8 losses don't have any margin for error, they have to win both games and hope Gran Canaria, Caja Fernando or Parmesa, who have 8 wins and seven losses, lose one of their games before the end of the regular league. Defeat to Grupo Capital Valladolid or CB Granada, would result in Barca finding it almost impossible to qualify for the tournament in Malaga, even if other teams lost both games. They need a victory against Valladolid on the road today; a game they have only lost four from the last 29 games. Barcelona is class better team than Valladolid they have deeper bench and it seems that Ivanovic and his players understood and learned his defensive schemes. They are allowing only 68.5 points in last 6 matches, and if we look into the won matches they allow only 65.2 pts there. Forum Valladolid have poor bench which is not scoring during their minutes and that reflects on teams offensive performance they score only 66.6 in last 5 matches and I expect them to score the same number of points and maybe few points less today against highly motivated Barcelona, which have full roster excluding injured Basile which is not very important when Navarro is healthy. Forum allows about 79 pts in defence and allowed more than 70 points in 11 of 13 played games so it will be very hard for them to stop powerful Barcelona offense which is scoring around 75-83 regulary. I think that Barcelona will control game tempo and will dominate on the field, they will gain 10-15 points advantage in second quarter and will hold this advantage until final whistle. Predicted score: Forum Valladolid 66 - 78 FCB Barcelona Pick: Barcelona (-6) @ 1.80 BET365 (medium-high stakes)
