Joventut vs Andorra: Analysis and Prediction – Joventut will play at home against Andorra in the Liga Endesa sixth round.
Joventut vs Andorra Odds
Joventut Team News
Joventut has secured three wins in the first five rounds of the Liga Endesa, but they haven’t shone at all. Their problems were most evident in the EuroCup. On Wednesday, they struggled and needed overtime to defeat Wolves, a team they are clearly superior to on paper, and a similar situation occurred against Cedevita Olimpija.
The departures of Joel Parra, Simon Birgander and Kyle Guy have certainly left their mark on Joventut. Despite the addition of new players like DeShaun Thomas, Andrew Andrews and Chinanu Onuaku, the team’s quality hasn’t remained the same or perhaps even improved, at least not yet. Head coach Carles Duran will need to work on integrating these new players and getting Joventut to play as their fans expect. The 113:91 loss to Unicaja is definitely not what this club aims for.
The game against Andorra is a good opportunity for Joventut to get back on track with a convincing and secure win. The match against Wolves consumed a lot of energy, but the positive thing for them is that they stay at home without any travel between the two games.
Andorra Team News
Andorra started their return to the Liga Endesa campaign with two consecutive losses, but then better things began to happen. They managed to defeat Palencia and Obradoiro and were quite competitive in a 91:87 loss to Barcelona.
Former Igokea and Darussafaka player Markel Starks has found his place in Andorra. He seems like the true floor general of this team, and if he maintains his quality throughout the season, this team shouldn’t be overly concerned about relegation. Andrew Goudelock will surely have a few games where his shooting can destroy the opponent, and there’s also Stan Okoye, who has significant experience in the Liga Endesa. The most pleasant surprise has been the performances of Marin Maric, who appears to be more than a capable option in the center position.
If Andorra can replicate their performances from the last three rounds, they have a reason to hope in Badalona. They’ve found an offensive rhythm that was absent against Bilbao and Breogan, and if they manage to at least do something defensively against Joventut’s potent offense, they could stay close until the end.

Joventut vs Andorra Prediction
Joventut’s recent performances haven’t convinced their fans that they are currently one of the best teams in the EuroCup. In the Liga Endesa, with this level of basketball, they might have difficulties even making it to the quarter-finals. Without Andrews and possibly Feliz, they’ll struggle to even defeat Andorra. They’ll likely come out with a win in the end, but it won’t be easy.
