Command Analysis
Valencia
SpainCurrent form
Martinez Sanchez's team continues to fight for a place at the top of the standings. The team is confidently staying in the top 4 and at the same time showing good results in the European Cup.
In the last round of the league, Valencia lost to Morabank Andorra (84:86). The match was intense, and literally one accurate shot was not enough to turn the game into overtime. Javier Lopez-Arostedi scored 16 points and was one of the best on the floor, but luck was on the opponent's side.
Despite this defeat, Valencia retains its position in the championship and is ready to rehabilitate itself. The team has not lost at home this season, and this is a serious factor before the match against Barcelona.

The team approaches the confrontation with an optimal composition.
Interesting facts for betting
Valencia has nine home wins this season.
Approximate composition: Pradilla-Lopez-Arostedi, Costello-Jones, Badio.
Barcelona
SpainCurrent form
Catalans are having a mixed season. The team is still unable to find stability, which is why it occupies only the tenth place in the Spanish championship. In the last match, Barcelona unexpectedly lost to Manresa (92:103). Such defeats occur regularly in their season, which confirms the crisis in the game of Joan Penarroi's wards. The main problem is playing on two fronts, because the team is playing in the Euroleague in parallel.
The upcoming game in Valencia will be a serious test. Barcelona desperately needs wins to rise in the standings, but it will be extremely difficult to do so on the road against a strong opponent.

The Catalans will take to the floor in a fighting formation.
Interesting facts for betting

1.95Tip and bets
Valencia have not lost at home yet this season. The team plays well together, demonstrating a high level of basketball. Barcelona is not in the best shape, but despite this, it remains a dangerous opponent. The team cannot afford another misfire, as tenth place is clearly not the result that suits the fans and the club's management.
We believe that Valencia will take advantage of the instability of the guests and extend their unbeaten streak at home, but the guests will not let themselves be defeated.
Our forecast is for Barcelona to win, taking into account the handicap (+6.5) points in 1.71
Bet on the total
Both teams have a powerful attack. Valencia is aggressive on its floor and relies on quick attacks. Barcelona also has strong performers, but has been unstable defensively lately, which can lead to a productive match. We assume that the total will be broken.
Forecast - total more than 178 points in 1.65
Betting on statistics
On the home arena, Valencia traditionally shows a high level of performance. The team is able to increase the pace, use fast transitions and make shots from beyond the arc. In our opinion, the hosts will score enough points and break through the individual total.
Prediction – Valencia's individual total is over 92 points in 1.77 minutes
