Monaco vs Virtus Bologna Odds

Monaco Team News

Before the start of the season, Monaco was considered one of the main favorites to win the Euroleague, but at the very start of the season, they had big problems with injuries, as well as with attacking form. They depend a lot on the duo of Mike James and Elie Okobo, who are the absolute drivers of Monaco’s game. A big problem for Monaco is the absence, above all, of Jordan Loyd, who has back problems, but also Kemba Walker, who has not yet made his debut for Monaco, and was brought in as a big reinforcement.

In the first round of the Euroleague, Monaco was defeated by Valencia away from home, where they played a very bad and ineffective match. They couldn’t secure a defensive jump, which Valencia took advantage of and won. The duo James and Okobo were the most effective, James scored 21 points, and added 7 rebounds and assists, while Okobo added 17 points. That they are in bad shape was also shown by the match against Cholet, where they were on the verge of defeat, but with a series of 8-0, in the last two minutes, they achieved a turnaround and won. The most efficient player was Petr Cornelie, who scored 18 points, which can especially please the fans of Monaco because Monaco’s internal game has been non-existent in the last few games.

Virtus Bologna Team News

Virtus plays very well at the opening of the season, and in the domestic championship, they are dominant and confident. However, in the first round of the Euroleague, they were defeated at home by the Zalgiris team, although they were in the lead for most of the match. In the last quarter, they couldn’t find a solution for Keenan Evans, who hit a couple of very difficult overhand three-pointers that ultimately decided the winner.

What particularly shook all Virtus fans and players was the situation surrounding Polonara, who has health problems and will need urgent surgery. We believe that this situation can further unite them to play the best possible match against Monaco.

Bellineli is playing in excellent form, shooting high percentages from a distance. They got a big reinforcement in the form of Ognjen Dobric, who has been in a great role since the first game and is doing the job in both directions. However, a lot depends on the leader Tornike Shengelia, who rested in the last match against Varese, which Virtus won very easily and convincingly.

As a rule, Luca Banchii’s teams play solid basketball, but this Virtus, in addition to defense, is also excellent offensively, where they force the game a lot in transition and shoot very well from distance.
