Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroLeague match.
Valencia Basket
However, Valencia Basket have experienced a slight slump recently. First, they lost away to the Žalgiris Kaunas 77:86, and then they were defeated by the Covirán Granada 79:85. The main reason is a significant drop in scoring efficiency. In both games, their shooting was poor. It is important to note that they need improved shot-making because they cannot boast a reliable defence.
Real Madrid Baloncesto
Real Madrid Baloncesto, by contrast, approach this game on a four-game winning streak, two of which were against top teams Barcelona Bàsquet 101:92 and the Fenerbahçe Beko 84:58. Trey Lyles has hit excellent form, averaging 19.8 points in the last four EuroLeague rounds. Théo Maledon has also started to shine as the sixth man, averaging 12.7 points.
Valencia Basket vs Real Madrid Baloncesto Prediction
We believe Sergio Scariolo has found the right solutions for Real Madrid Baloncesto. The visitors are on the rise and, importantly, look significantly stronger than they did in September. With better depth and current form, they are well placed to take revenge in Valencia.
