Baskonia - Real Madrid

Equal opponents and here we can expect a good fight between these teams. Manresa can boast one of the better defense ratings in the league and overall has become a very serious team over the past couple of seasons. Bilbao is also defense-oriented, lacking a strong offense which often results in a lack of productivity and the need to work hard on defense. Before the holidays, I don't think the players will be lazy on defense and will give their all, as the victory would bring good emotions for the holidays.

After a double EL week and a consecutive match, it would be incomprehensible if Barcelona wanted to score 95 points, which is given to them. The total is insanely high, and even though they are playing against Andorra on the other side, this season Andorra is not playing badly, and Barcelona, who is struggling on all fronts this season, should not expect an easy match. The team has a lot of veterans, and even though they are not defending this season, playing 3 matches in 5 days is a lot for anyone. I hope for a more even and less result-driven fight than the bukai [refers to the betting industry] seem to see.
