Our Barcelona vs Alba Berlin prediction is for Barcelona to bounce back and claim the victory. Both teams lost in their opening-week matchups and will be seeking a better result this week. This will be a low-scoring clash.
Barcelona Underwhelming in Opener
Barcelona was unable to topple Zalgiris in their opener, falling to 0-1 to start the season. They held the opposition to just 7 points in the 3rd quarter, but were outscored by 17 points in the other three. Barcelona’s offense was concerningly bad in the loss. Their leading scorer, Nico Laprovittola, scored just 12 points. In order to confidently take down Alba Berlin, they’ll need a complete offensive transformation.
Alba Berlin Struggling on Defense
Fortunately for Barcelona, Alba Berlin’s defense wasn’t too impressive in their opening week loss. They gave up 87 points to Panathinaikos, losing 87-77. After going 5-29 last season and finishing in dead last, Berlin is desperately hoping to improve this year. They’ll have a chance to right the ship against a similarly desperate Barcelona team. They will need to be at their absolute best to win on the road in this game.
Barcelona vs Alba Berlin Prediction: Barcelona to Bounce Back
Despite both teams being 0-1, Barcelona enters this game as enormous favorites. This is primarily due to last year’s standings, in which Barcelona finished 4th and Alba Berlin finished 18th. Home court advantage is also in Barcelona’s favor, which should be enough for them to bounce back and earn a win in this EuroLeague game.
