Command Analysis

Monaco

Current form
The French club fought for the first place in the Euroleague, but could not stand the competition and finished the tournament in fourth position. It is worth noting that the team is leading in the domestic championship, so it came to the playoffs in good shape.
In his last match at the Euroarena, Monaco faced his well-known Asvel. The rivals have repeatedly crossed paths in the French championship, so they know each other's weaknesses perfectly well. Vasilis Spanoulis' team performed at their best, although the game was played away (83:78). The first match of the playoff series against Barcelona is ahead, which will be held on the home court and promises to be interesting.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team approaches the confrontation without losses.
Interesting facts for betting
Monaco have won four of their last five matches.
Approximate composition: Diallo-Blossom, Tice-Okobo, James.

Barcelona

Current form
The Catalan club has been rocking for a long time, and this applies to both the domestic championship and the Euroleague. By the end of the season, the team still rallied and improved, which helped to consolidate its position in fifth place.
In the last round of the Euroleague, Barcelona beat Virtus from Bologna (91-87), although this result was more than expected. After that, Joan Peñarroi's team performed well in matches against Granada (93:86) and Gran Canaria (90:104). We can say that the Spaniards are ready for the playoffs, but they got a decent opponent, so the match against Monaco can hardly be called predictable.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nicolas Laprovittola, Cimesi Metu, Juan Nunez and Dame Sarre will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
Barcelona has not lost on the road for six matches.
Approximate composition: Anderson-Parker, Fall-Sarr, Satoransky.
