Hello.
EuroLeague. Paris vs Valencia. We're going with the Spain teams Peru.
Paris has fallen into a slump after a good start to the season, losing 5 out of their last 6 games. The intensity has dropped and it seems like their opponents have figured out their game. The pressure and risks at the baselines are no longer effective, and with a decrease in fast attacks their results have suffered. They are not a strong team in positional basketball.
Valencia, on the other hand, plays a fast-paced game and I believe this will make for a very productive and exciting match, but they also have a lot of quality defenders. And now that Montero has returned, their small line-up looks very strong. Paris is one of those teams that also lacks strong tall players, which makes Valencia's job easier as their frontcourt is weaker as well. In this high-speed game, Valencia feels like a fish in water. We can see this through their results as well. In the last round, they also defeated Real Madrid, but overall, Valencia only has 6 losses and 4 wins in the EuroLeague. Without taking into account Zalgiris, Valencia has beaten teams like Dubai, Fenerbahçe (quite easily, actually), and Milan. There seems to be a tendency for them to play better at home than away, but I think a team like Paris should be taken even when playing away.
I simply don't see any strengths for Paris against Valencia, and unless there is an extraordinary performance from Hifi+Robinson (which is not impossible), the odds are in Valencia's favor. 2.05 coefficient is more than worth the risk here. Good luck.
