Maccabi TA

The Israelis have played three times in Belgrade; the result was different each time. With Baldwin back, they scored 93 points against Bayern. Then he had a stomach bug, and without him, Maccabi gained only 74 points against Olympiacos. He failed that game, by the way. Finally, Baldwin's pain disappeared, and the Israelis won again. This time against Fener, they scored 78 points, the same as the Greeks, even though Fener was extremely weakened. Maccabi averages just over 81 points per game in the Pioneer while conceding 80.5. These three games have perhaps only one thing in common - Maccabi started poorly and failed the first quarters. Even Bayern lost by two points (17:19), while the others lost by much more. By the way, TA concedes an average of 25 points in the first quarter. As for the performance, the bookmakers are sure that they will score 80 points against Barça.

Barcelona

The Catalans have lost their last two away games. But in Vitoria, they let Baskonia gain 94 points - that's unbelievable. Anyway, Barça is now averaging just 76 points per game away while conceding 77.5. Maccabi's defense is not the most impenetrable in the league. Even after games against the Greeks and Turks, Kattash's charges are still averaging over 80 points, and bookmakers are confident that Barça will easily hit over 80 against the Israelis. By the way, Barça scored 73 in Murcia on Sunday and lost. As for the head-to-heads, the Catalans won both last season.

Expert Betting Tips

The Catalans have not scored more than 74 points in their last three matches. It's okay against Valencia and Murcia, but 71 points in Vitoria is a bad result. But that doesn't mean Maccabi is going to press Barça right away.
