Command Analysis

Alba Berlin

Current form
The Berlin club has been disappointing its fans this season. After a series of failures in the Euroleague, Alba has been unable to find its game in the domestic championship. The team is in the outsider zone, having lost its last two matches, first to Mitteldeutscher (76:94) and then to Rostock (85:96).
Israel Gonzalez men are playing attacking basketball, but defensive problems are ruining their offensive efforts. The inconsistent form of key players is also affecting the team results. Despite the current difficulties, Alba hopes to rehabilitate itself in the match against the leader. The home arena and the support of the fans can play into the hands of the hosts, but to achieve success, the Berliners will have to show their best game this season.
