Command Analysis

ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne

Current form
The French club can't find stability. After a failure in the game against Partizan (62:93), where the team showed a weak attack and unconvincing defense, ASVEL dropped to 14th place in the tournament table. However, the team can still fight for the top 10, which gives the players motivation.
Key players like Melvin Ajinsah and Tarik Black have been showing good performances, but the duo efforts are not always enough to compensate for the overall instability of the squad. The meeting with Alba on the home arena will be a great opportunity for the French team to recharge and show their best.
Disqualifications and injuries
Charles Caudi and Mbaye Ndiaye will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
In this Euroleague tournament, ASVEL has recorded six home wins.
Probable lineup: Roberson - Ajinsa, Sako - Lee, Maledon.

Alba Berlin

Current form
The German club is in deep crisis. The team has lost eight games in a row and is at the bottom of the Euroleague standings. In the last round, Alba lost to Olimpia from Milan (68:100), showing a weak game in attack and defense.
The team from Berlin has clearly placed its bets on the domestic championship, leaving the Euroleague in the background. Alba has big problems with converting moments, which explains such an unsuccessful series. The away meeting with ASVEL looks like another serious test for Israel Gonzalez charges.
Disqualifications and injuries
Justin Bean continues his recovery from injury, so we will not see him in the next match.
Interesting facts for betting
In 4 of the last 5 head-to-head matches, the German club celebrated victory.
Probable lineup: Procida - Schneider, McCormack - Thomas, Hermannsson.

1.87Tip and bets
Alba continue to lose points in the Euroleague and seem to be fully focused on their performance in the domestic league. The German club looks extremely weak in attack, which makes their chances of success in Lyon minimal.
ASVEL, despite its own problems, is performing much more consistently and has the motivation to fight for a place in the top ten. The home arena and the weakness of the opponent play into the hands of the French club. We believe that the hosts will take advantage of their advantages and achieve victory.
Our prediction is ASVEL victory with a handicap of (-8) points for 1.71
Bet on total
Both teams are experiencing serious difficulties in attack, which was clearly demonstrated in the last matches. ASVEL and Alba are unlikely to show a productive game, so the total will most likely not be broken.
Betting Tip - total under 169 points for 1.66
Bet on statistics
The French club has every chance to take advantage of Alba problems. The hosts will try to impose their game and limit the opponent attacking capabilities. Given the current form of the German team, breaking the individual total for Alba will be an extremely difficult task.
Betting Tip - Alba individual total under 78.5 points for 1.86
