Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the EuroCup match.
This match can certainly be called one of the marquee outings of the EuroCup round. Both teams are in great form and showcasing vibrant, attacking basketball. Can the Spanish side secure their third consecutive victory on home court?
Gran Canaria
The club from Las Palmas is on an impressive run. They have won four of their last five games. In the previous round, Gran Canaria claimed a crucial victory over Baskonia (92:86). Since the start of the season, they have remained unbeaten at home, and importantly for this prediction, they average 91.6 points per game.
Wolves Vilnius
The visitors have also captured four victories in their last five contests. Furthermore, the Lithuanian side have triumphed three times in a row in the EuroCup. Wolves Vilnius excel in offence, averaging 84.5 points – ranking eighth in the tournament. It's also worth noting their domestic league match against a formidable Žalgiris, in which they reached the century mark, converting over 50% of their field goals (100:82).
Gran Canaria vs Wolves Vilnius Prediction
Of course, the hosts are the favourites, but the visitors have a solid chance to cause an upset in this encounter. Therefore, it's safer to consider a bet on the total points. Both teams average over 84 points and are in the top 10 of the EuroCup. It's unlikely their scoring prowess will suddenly dwindle in this match.
