Telekom Baskets vs UNICS Kazan Betting Preview

EuroCup - Telekom Baskets v UNICS Kazan

15 December 2009 | Preview By Tipster Jadran (Croatia)

Handicap +2.5 : -2.5

The hosts are on 0W 3L in this group and even if they win here,they are still going to Joventut,so their chances to proceede here,are more then slim.The game between these two last week ended with Unics win,76-64,and what is interesting,the visitors even won the rebs,and by 7(39-32) and they forced the hosts to shoot 33% for 3 and only 44% for 2.However,they were not able to protect the ball properly,turning the ball over 17 times,and they had only two men in the right mood in the offense,Esminger and Taylor that combined 31 points and 9 rebs.So it remains to be seen if they will be able to repeat that level of defense and combine it with efficient performance on the offensive end.

Unics is one of the most talented teams in this competition,like I already said,they are deep,strong,great shooting team and they are on 3W and 0L in this competition.To support a team,without a loss,that is in pretty comfort situation,is always tricky,and especially Russian team on the road,but I still feel that the quality difference,between these two is big enough for that.And another thing that is important,I do not believe that this team will choose games to play,they look hungry at the moment and like they are enjoying themselves on the court,which is important.Visitors to cover this small spread is my call here,mid stakes,GL!
