Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Liga ACB match.
Following a hard-fought victory over Saski Baskonia (91:95), MoraBanc Andorra will host Leyma Coruña, who have already shocked everyone by defeating Real Madrid at home in the first round.
MoraBanc Andorra
The hosts rank third for average made three-pointers with 10.5 per game. The team's offence thrives on ball movement, as evidenced by their 21 assists in the win against Saski Baskonia. However, if opponents manage to cut off passing lanes, they tend to crumble. This was evident in the game against Gran Canaria, where the hosts recorded only 7 assists and 19 turnovers.
Leyma Coruña
For this matchup, attention should be drawn to Leyma Coruña's low steals average—just five per game. On the other hand, their offence is impressive. Not every team can score 86 points against Real Madrid. Their success also relies on ball movement, with players averaging 19.5 assists per contest. However, the hosts can counter this, as MoraBanc Andorra average seven steals per game.
MoraBanc Andorra vs Leyma Coruña Prediction
The last time these teams met was in the 2022/23 season in the second Spanish division, LEB Oro. MoraBanc Andorra emerged victorious on both occasions, but it's noteworthy that both games were low-scoring (66:70 and 77:70). Given the playing styles of the teams, we expect this trend to continue.
