Last Tuesday was a really painful match against Spain when they lost to Peru and the team is definitely going to recover today. They will face a tough opponent who will come with a full squad. Asvel is a strong team in the basketball league and is led by Watson, who may not play due to an injury.
On Tuesday, it was truly painful to watch the Lithuanian team suffer against the Spanish team. They played against the powerful opponent, Peru, and will definitely have a tough game today. Moreover, they will face a strong opponent who has already arrived. The ASVEL team, in particular, has been struggling with injuries and the absence of their star player, Decolo. Another leader, Watson, might also be missing due to a thigh injury.
In essence, it's the same situation as with Zalgiris. The better team plays at home, but after a humiliating defeat, just like in the match against Valencia, where they were leading by 13 points at the end of the 3rd quarter. In the 4th quarter, they lost by 16 points and the game. Such a high-level team cannot play two matches in a row like this. Today they are playing against one of the weakest teams in the league, so I am expecting some kind of rebound.
The Bask team doesn't have such a strong front line, so I think Willy should have no trouble playing against his opponents under the basket, as Vasely and Shengelis are still recovering from injuries. Therefore, the only option left to attack the basket is through the Spaniard. Although they have fluctuating minutes due to their defensive struggles, they can effectively use their time on offense.
In general, Crvena's home arena is the same as Jasikevicius' Fener's and it looks very reliable and the money invested often pays off. Against their opponents, they can shoot with confidence in front of their own fans and any player can make a good play, and if they do it again, they can break the deadlock for good. The opponent Virtus is a very good opponent, not too many options in attack, mainly Edwards tries to win the game, even if he succeeds or not, it's very favorable here. Of course, there is Alston, Jallow, but Virtus' offense is very stagnant, I think the Serbians will score more than 10 points.
