Maccabi Tel Aviv Team News

In the last round of the Euroleague, Maccabi experienced one of the heaviest defeats in the Euroleague, and we believe that they will be maximally focused to make up for the desperate game against Fenerbahce. Fenerbahçe defeated and humiliated Maccabi on a neutral field with a 35-point difference, scoring as many as 109 points. Maccabi parried only in the first quarter and then they literally disappeared from the field. They played a desperate match first of all defensively, where they allowed Fenerbahce even 65% of shots from the field. Defense is a big problem for Maccabi this season even though they have great defensive potential.

They depend a lot on the play of the duo Brown and Baldwin, who totally failed in the match against Fener, and had a combined 8/26 shooting from the field, which is very bad by their standards. The most consistent in the ranks of Maccabi this season is Bonzi Colson, who played the match of the season last week in the victory against Monaco when he scored 27 points.

Virtus Bologna Team News

Virtus is one of the biggest refreshes in the Euroleague this season. A team with tradition and a large fan base plays great basketball and is in second place with a record of 14-5. Luca Banchi got the most out of the Virtus team, even though he only came at the end of the transfer window. They play team basketball in both directions, which is very likely the key to success in the current part of the season. The team consists of a large number of experienced players led by the trio of Hackett – Belinelli – and Shengelia, who are the driving force of the Virtus team.

Last week they achieved two victories in the double round of the Euroleague against German teams. First, as the hosts, they won in an uncertain match against Bayern Munich, and then, as guests, they very easily defeated Alba from Berlin. In the last couple of days, they have additionally strengthened the team with the experienced Anto Zizic and Rihards Lomazs, who will bring additional width to the ranks of Virtus.

Virtus has problems with injuries and in this match, they will perform without three important players Mickey, Cacok, and Dobric. Lundberg has been playing well lately, they directly decided the matches against Partizan and Bayern with his points, while he also solved the question of the winner against Alba from Berlin with a series of points.

Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Virtus Bologna Prediction

The matches between Maccabi and Vritus are always efficient and result in a large number of points, but this time we expect Virtus to defensively control Maccabi and limit them to a smaller number of points, which would eventually lead them to a favorable result. Although Virtus has been winning lately, they are in somewhat worse shape. Maccabi does not have the home-field effect this season because they play their matches in Belgrade in front of empty stands, and we expect Virtus to take advantage of that.
