Barcelona vs Unicaja Prediction: Both Teams Have to Focus

Prediction for the Liga ACB Barcelona vs Unicaja match which will take place on June 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Barcelona

Catalans in the first game lost to Unicaja in the second half (39:50) but still won (84:81). Under the backboard, they failed 25:45, but thanks to fewer losses (9:17) and more three-pointers (10:6) could keep the advantage gained in the first half. If Kalinoski and other shooters are any more accurate, it will be even more difficult for Barca.

Handicap (+10.5) or (+8.5) is quite reasonable. The series in Europe are long these days, as the 2:0 score is nowhere to be seen.

Unicaja

Ibon Navarro's squad scored 81 points against their opponents. We expect the second game to be less productive, particularly for the visitors. If in Wednesday's most unproductive quarter, we saw 35 points, then Friday's may well total under.

The decline also applies to the teams' totals. However, even if Barcelona can repeat their result, the bookmakers will pay the win at nice odds. We believe they will primarily focus on limiting their opponent and that Unicaja can't play as efficiently again.

Expert Betting Tips

Unfortunately, we don't have the stats on second-chance points, but Unicaja grabbed 20 offensive rebounds compared to Barcelona's nine. If the Catalans manage to change that, which is likely, Unicaja, again, will not be as productive. Accordingly, Unicaja's 17 losses are an unusual nightmare for the team.
