Command Analysis

Monaco

Current form
Two days ago, the Monegasques' winning streak was interrupted. Sasa Obradovic charges could not hold out in Barcelona and lost to the Catalans with a score of 71:86. The team leaders did not play their best. For example, Mike Jam scored only 11 points, while Elie Okobo had 13.
In other matches, Monaco performed much better. For example, Obradovic team dealt with Israeli Maccabi.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nick Caletas and Furkan Korkmaz will not play.
Interesting facts for betting
The Monegasques have been very unsuccessful in their encounters with Virtus. They have lost to this opponent in 2 of their last 3 matches on their home court.
Probable lineup : Jaite - Loyd, James - Blossomgame, Motiejunas.

Virtus Segafredo Bologna

Current form
Virtus is still winless in the Euroleague. The Italian team lost all three matches and is now considered one of the outsiders. In the last round, Luca Banchi team lost to Zalgiris. Despite the fact that they played on their home court, the Bolognese lost with a score of 68:71.
Virtus has been successful so far only in the domestic championship, where it crushes one opponent after another. But the level there is completely different.
Disqualifications and injuries
Devonte the Cowboy is questionable.
Interesting facts for betting
In 2 of the last 3 games in the Euroleague, Virtus did not even score 70 points. The Italians have certain problems with their attacking play, so you should not expect much from them.
Estimated line-up : Mukhamet - Payola, Cordinier - Shengelia, Clayborne.

1.78Tip and bets
Virtus, of course, failed the last match, but the team should not be underestimated. The Italians are eager to win their first game of the season. And they will play on a comfortable court for themselves. They have often taken away victories from here lately, so they can cling to the result they need.
Our prediction is Virtus with a handicap of (+8.5) points at 1.88
Bet on total
Virtus is acting somewhat unconvincingly in attack. Very often the Italians have little success under the opponent ring. In this regard, we doubt that the match against Monaco will be a high-flying one.
Forecast - total under 158.5 points for 1.80
Bet on statistics
Most likely, Virtus will not be able to break the 78.5 point mark. We believe that Luka Bachnya charges will have problems with their attacking play.
Forecast - "Virtus": total under 78.5 points for 1.78
