Bayern Team News
Bayern are in the best form since the beginning of the season. They won three games in the last four rounds including a huge triumph in Istanbul last week. There, Bayern defeated Anadolu Efes 89:81 after trailing by 16 points in the third quarter.
In that game in Turkey, Bayern showed what adorns them the most in this Euroleague campaign. They don’t give up for a single moment and fight bravely for every possession and every basket. The most deserving man for such an approach is head coach Andrea Trinchieri. From the beginning of the season, Bayern had a lot of most problems under the hoop. Two-point shots percentage was extremely poor, but even in that segment they are improving as time goes on.
In the last three games at home in the Euroleague, Bayern achieved three easy wins. In order to reach the fourth in a row, they need to be at a high level defensively. If they slow down Milos Teodosic and Virtus offense, their chances will be higher.
Virtus Bologna Team News
Virtus Bologna had a good chance to catch a connection to top 8, but they won only one of the three consecutive games they played in Bologna. After losing to Zalgiris and Olympiacos, Virtus were better than Panathinaikos in the last round.
That they have quality in their roster, Virtus showed with road wins against Real Madrid and Barcelona. Their problem is that they fail to play at a high level consistently. They lost several games in which they were favorites on paper and that is the reason why they are not better positioned on the table. The impression is that roles in the team are not well distributed because, apart from Teodosic, all the players oscillate too much in form.
In the first game against Bayern this season, Virtus had a lot of problems on both sides of the floor even though they came away with a win. In Munich, it will be important for them to establish dominance in the paint and to outplay the opponent in that segment. This is perhaps the most important key to a good result in this round.
Bayern vs Virtus Bologna H2H
The only game between these two teams was played in October when Virtus beat Bayern 66:63.
Injuries and Suspensions
Awudu Abass won’t play for Virtus, while Gabriel Lundberg is questionable. Vladimir Lucic and Andreas Obst have started to practice and Obst has a better chance to play this week. However, it is much more realistic for both of them to be part of Bayern squad in the next round.
Bayern vs Virtus Bologna Prediction
Bayern’s form is much better at this moment than Virtus’ form. The victory in Istanbul against Anadolu Efes could be the turning point for them. They definitely not given up on their desire to play in the Euroleague quarterfinals for third consecutive season, and in order to stay in the hunt for top 8, they will have to triumph in this round.
