Asvel vs Barcelona Betting Preview

Euroleague - Asvel v Barcelona

7 January 2010 | Preview By Tipster Jadran (Croatia)

Handicap +9.5 : -9.5

I am in love with this Barca,not as a fan,I appreciate their basketball a lot.I have said more or less all about their potential this season in my previous posts,I will just add here,that this is probably only Euro team that could even be competitive NBA team due to their amazing physicalities which makes this skillful team so dominant in europe.Coach Pascual also deserves a line here as he seems to be under the radar when we talk about contribution to this team but unfairly,this young expert is doing a great job and a time will show how good he can be.

Barca is perfect in EL this season,they are on 8W 0L and here are their away games,+23 at Fener,+7 at Zalgiris,+19 at Siena and +14 at Cibona.And let s say last four away games from ACB,+6 at Unicaja,+10 at Granada,+22 at Real Madrid and +22 at Bilbao.And I will not do the math about the average points difference here,you can do it yourself,but as you can obviously see,it is big.

ASVEL is good lately,they have won 7 of their last 8 games and three of four in EL.Seems they have welcomed SG Marshall,they have needed additional weapon on the offensive end and he looks good in this team.This team has also played solid match in Barca where they were close for three quarters,similar scenario was in Siena in the last round and that means that this team has raised their level.However today they will have a hard task.Their beast inside,Traore will have the toughest possible job confronting with 4 of Barca s towers and whoever will have solid day from the guards,can be shut down easily,Lukauskis or Marshall or even Foirest maybe.In the end,Barca is also amazing defensive team.

My call is Barca s another day in the office with the right approach,mid stakes,GL!
