Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the EuroCup match.
Beşiktaş are riding a three-game winning streak, one of which was secured in a EuroCup match. Meanwhile, Joventut Badalona have failed to secure a victory in three consecutive games and have been displaying very shaky performances.
Beşiktaş
In their recent EuroCup outing, the Turkish side delivered a commanding performance at home, defeating Ulm (107:74). At the start of the season, their defence was quite shaky; however, these issues are currently being overshadowed by their exceptional offensive play. Beşiktaş have scored at least 82 points in six of their seven games this season.
Joventut Badalona
The Spaniards are experiencing significant defensive issues. Recently, they conceded 76 points to Río Breogán, a clear underdog in the Spanish championship. In four of their last six matches, they have allowed opponents to score 84 points or more.
Beşiktaş vs Joventut Badalona Prediction
In their last head-to-head encounter in Turkey, Joventut came out on top with a score of 81:85. However, the Spaniards are now noticeably weaker. At the same time, Beşiktaş have markedly improved their game and are rightfully considered the favourites in this match. We believe that their offence will not face serious resistance, and we can expect a substantial point difference in the scoreline.
