Command Analysis

Alba Berlin

Current form
Alba is in the last place in the Euroleague, and its chances to improve its position are minimal. The team is focusing more on the domestic championship, realizing that it is extremely difficult to compete in the European tournament.
In the last round, Alba lost to Real (69:80), showing a weak attack. Difficulties with the squad and insufficient teamwork do not allow the club to demonstrate stable results. Ahead is a meeting with a strong opponent, and the Germans will try to surprise, despite the status of an outsider.
Disqualifications and injuries
Justin Bean injury will keep him out of the next match.
Interesting facts for betting
The German club won three games in the Euroleague.
Probable lineup: Schneider - Delow, McCormack - Hermannsson, Thomas.

Monaco

Current form
Monaco leads the Euroleague after 18 rounds, demonstrating a balanced game in defense and attack. The team successfully beat Anadolu Efes (94:75) in the previous round. Mike James, who scored 14 points, was one of the key players of the meeting.
The French club is in excellent shape, but they can't relax, as their competitors continue to breathe down their necks. A victory over Alba will help them maintain their leadership, so the visitors are extremely serious.

Interesting facts for betting
