Valencia vs Virtus Bologna Odds

Valencia Team News

Valencia is playing real “old school” basketball this season, forcing high intensity in defense throughout the match. The entire team is designed in such a way that they can physically and athletically match even the best Euroleague teams and limit them to a small number of points. Alex Mumbru’s team showed their “masterpiece” in Piraeus, where they limited the mighty Olympiacos to only 56 points and achieved a great victory.

However, the series of six victories in all competitions came to an end because two days ago they were defeated at home by Belgrade’s Partizan. In that match too, Valencia played in their own rhythm, and they managed to limit Partizan, which is one of the best attacks in the league, to only 72 points. However, even that was not enough to avoid defeat. One of the biggest reasons for Valencia’s defeat in this match is the desperate shooting from a distance. Otherwise, during the entire season, Valencia struggles with three-point shooting, and they are by far the worst team in the entire league.

Against Virtus, there will not be two very important players in the ranks of Valencia, Harper, and Ojeleye, who are very important factors in both directions for Alex Mumbru’s team. In this match, Valencia will depend a lot on the duo of Jones and Davis, who are Valencia’s main attacking options. Davis played a bad match against Partizan and his much better performance is expected against Virtus, while Jones was the most effective in that match with 14 points.

Virtus Bologna Team News

Virtus is one of the biggest refreshes in the Euroleague this season. A team with tradition and a large fan base plays great basketball and is in second place with a record of 12-4. Luca Banchi got the most out of the Virtus team, even though he only came at the end of the transfer window. They play team basketball in both directions, which is very likely the key to success in the current part of the season.

The team consists of a large number of experienced players led by the trio of Hackett – Belinelli – Shengelia, who are the driving force of the Virtus team. In addition to them, they also have players who have been playing at the Euroleague level for many years. After the very difficult and important victory they achieved against Baskonia, in the last round of the Euroleague they showed great character by defeating Olympiacos. During the entire match, they had an almost double-digit deficit, but in the last quarter, on the wings of Ognjen Dobric, they achieved a turnaround. Dobric led the Virtus team to victory, scoring all 10 points in the fourth quarter and directly deciding the match, both with points and excellent defense on Walkup.

Virtus is one of the few teams in the league that can match the Valencia team physically and athletically. Although they are missing Mickey in this match, Virtus has enough quality, width, and experience to emerge victorious from Fonteta.
