Barcelona vs Andorra: Analysis and Prediction – Barcelona and Andorra will play each other in the Liga Endesa fourth round.
Barcelona vs Andorra Odds
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona entered the season in somewhat of a downbeat mood, with two losses to Real Madrid certainly raising concerns in the Catalan capital. Fortunately for them, they followed up with a win against Anadolu Efes in the first round of the EuroLeague.
Barcelona is a club that has undergone the most significant changes, not only in the player roster but also in the coaching staff. Following a very successful playing career, Roger Grimau was given the opportunity to prove himself as a head coach at Barcelona. In the current season, Nicolas Laprovittola and Willy Hernangomez have been standout performers, both currently averaging double digits. What has characterized Barcelona so far is the even distribution of minutes, giving everyone a chance to showcase their skills. In the win against Anadolu Efes, Barcelona led throughout and maintained control. The guests attempted to make a comeback, but Barcelona ultimately secured the win with an excellent final quarter.
We expect something similar in this match. The hosts are simply too talented to be overly concerned about the visitors. Therefore, we can anticipate more playing time for those who have seen fewer minutes thus far. After this, Barcelona faces a tough EuroLeague match against Olympiacos, so this game can serve as good preparation for that encounter.
Andorra Team News
Andorra’s team broke a streak of seven consecutive losses in the previous round of the league, with wins over the newly-promoted team Palencia. In the fourth round, they will face Barcelona away.
At the start of the season, Andorra had significant issues with their defense, conceding over 90 points, making it difficult for them to stay competitive in the league. In the last two matches, they have conceded an average of less than 73 points. The two most efficient scorers so far this season are Markel Starks, who has been averaging around 12 points per game for several seasons regardless of the level of competition, and Andrew Goudelock, along with power forward Tyson Perez, who is close to a double-double average. Perez had an outstanding season with Betis before joining Andorra.
In this match, they are facing the absolute favorite, and it’s hard to anticipate anything other than a convincing defeat. We believe this match will serve more for additional team cohesion and player familiarity with each other.

Barcelona vs Andorra H2H

Barcelona vs Andorra Prediction
If these two teams were at their best and playing on neutral ground, we believe Barcelona would win by more than 20 points. The hosts simply have too much quality to exploit all the weaknesses in the visiting team. We expect a match in which Barcelona will score close to 100 points, which leads us to the conclusion that they will be able to cover the relatively high handicap given.
