ACB LEAGUE: Barcelona vs Zaragoza
Barcelona receives the visit of a Zaragoza in free fall on the fifth day of the ACB league. The Catalans count by victories their matches so far this season and are measured with a few hands that have entered a crisis of two consecutive defeats after starting the course very well. Jasikevicius and his boys barely showed any cracks in a start in which they defeated UCAM Murcia, Gran Canaria, Breogan and Bilbao Basket. It is striking that there have been no major beatings in these matches, with none of them exceeding a score of advantage in the final result.
It is in this aspect where we are going to grasp the burning nail that Zaragoza -which beat them in 2019- is going to play a worthy role in its visit to the Palau. That the hands lose by 14 points or less is paid to [1.88] being a quota where to scratch a lot. The visitor surprise options are paid at a stratospheric fee of [9.00], but the 23-3 historical balance in favor of the Catalans advises us not to do so.
Another option is to get into the points market. Here we find it quite attractive that more than 156.5 points will be achieved in the match. After all, Barça is a team that averages 82.25 points, while Zaragoza 80.5 points. Achieving more than 156.5 is paid at a quota of [1.88] being a more than recommended market to make a profit.
In a match with many Madrid youth squad players like Yusta or Radoncic in the ranks, we can expect a bit of war, but neither will we come up against Zaragoza’s options. Probably that same afternoon of the game, Pau Gasol announced his retirement and we will see some kind of tribute. Who knows if in the center of the court. We have a pretty nice duel ahead of us.
