Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the EuroCup match.
Both teams suffered their first EuroCup defeats only in the last round. Spanish teams traditionally perform better at home, but Ratiopharm Ulm are a formidable opponent who are sure to pose a challenge.
Gran Canaria
Since the start of this season, Gran Canaria have adopted a more defensive style of play, and this shift is working well. The team ranks among the best in defensive metrics. However, notable issues exist in their offence, as they have not scored more than 80 points in their last five games, with three of those games seeing them score under 70.
Ratiopharm Ulm
The Germans are the complete opposite of the Spaniards. They excel in offence but can sometimes concede too many points. In three of their last five encounters, the team scored over 90 points, although they have conceded at least 93 in their last four.
Gran Canaria vs Ratiopharm Ulm Prediction
Matches between these teams are always thrilling. The players fight till the very end, as clearly demonstrated in their last head-to-head encounter, where the Germans clinched victory at home in overtime. We believe this clash will be akin to that one. A bet on the visitors with a positive handicap looks very promising.
