Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroLeague match.
Paris Basketball continue to dominate both within the EuroLeague and beyond. The French side are on a nine-match winning streak across all competitions. Can Virtus Bologna challenge these bold newcomers?
Paris Basketball
In the previous round, Paris left Anadolu Efes with no chance on the road (93:84), with the Turkish side leading for only 13 seconds. The dominance is spearheaded by TJ Shorts, who posted 21 points and 10 assists in that game. He is the leader of one of the most vibrant offences in the league. Paris Basketball average 85.5 points per game. This fast pace allows them to overcome nearly any opponent, be it Barcelona (103:87), Žalgiris (83:77), or Partizan (74:71).
Virtus Bologna
Virtus Bologna have lost three games in a row. In the last round, they failed to defeat Fenerbahçe at home (82:86). The Italian side cannot boast a standout offence, scoring less than 80 points per game, but their main issue lies in defence. Real Madrid put up 98 points, Panathinaikos scored 82, and even a struggling Olimpia Milano managed 99.
Paris Basketball vs Virtus Bologna Prediction
Personally, we don't see any basis for a successful game from Virtus Bologna in this matchup. They lack the resources to contain the vibrant French offence, which will have plenty of opportunities to show off.
