Bayern vs Valencia Odds
Bayern Team News
A very important match is before Pablo Laso’ team because they are playing against a direct competitor for the play-off, which is quite weakened. Bayern have been playing very erratically this season and are struggling with injuries to key players, but in this match, they will play with their strongest team. After a long time, Vladimir Lucic returned to the floor, bringing great quality and energy in both directions.
Bayern is at 7-9 and they cannot connect a couple of victories, which would further push them up in the Euroleague table. They play much better at home, where they have been defeated only twice this season. They are the best jumping team in the Euroleague and the jump will be one of the key factors in this match. Last week, in the double round, they played both games as hosts, and they had half the score. First, they defeated Anadolu Efes thanks to a great game by Andres Obst, while they were defeated by Monaco in the second game. Bayern is a very physically strong team and can respond to the physical play of the Valencia team, which is quite weakened in this match, and the question is whether they will be able to maintain the intensity in both directions, against an experienced Bayern team.
Valencia Team News
Valencia is playing real “old school” basketball this season, forcing high intensity in defense throughout the match. The entire team is designed in such a way that they can physically and athletically match even the best Euroleague teams and limit them to a small number of points. Alex Mumbru’s team showed their “masterpiece” in Piraeus, where they limited the mighty Olympiacos to only 56 points and achieved a great victory. Also, they made a great success by beating Virtus in the last round at home, without a couple of important players from the rotation.
Valencia is one of the best defensive teams in the Euroleague, while they struggle quite a bit in attack, especially in shooting from a distance. In this match, they are quite weakened and there will not be four players in the lineup who bring them solidity under the basket, and the rotation will be considerably shortened. Valencia has been active in the market in the past few days and they signed Justin Anderson, who played for Rio Breogan this season and who will bring additional quality in attack, which Alex Mumbru’s team needs. In the last round of the Endesa League, they were defeated as hosts by Granada.
