Bayern vs Alba Berlin: Analysis and Prediction – Bayern will host Alba Berlin in the Bundesliga round 32 game.
Bayern vs Alba Berlin Odds
Bayern Team News
In the previous game, Bayern defeated Ulm by 81:74, in a match in which Carsen Edwards with 17 points and Nick Weiler-Babb with 15 points were the most effective. They are currently in first place in the Bundesliga with a record of 25-5.
Bayern is having a relatively successful season at the moment, considering that this team has had a lot of problems with injuries since the beginning. Thus, even large investments could not contribute to Bayern being more seriously involved in the race for the EuroLeague playoffs, although in the Bundesliga things are going according to plan for now. The big weapon of this team is in the paint, because there is no one who can physically compete with Serge Ibaka, the dominant big man of Pablo Laso’s team. That athleticism is the biggest strength of this team in the Bundesliga.
In the next match, Bayern should slow down the pace and not allow Alba Berlin to enter into a recognizable fast game. In that case, the guests in this duel can be very dangerous. However, Pablo Laso’s team has an answer – 124.7 points per 100 possessions make Bayern the best offensive team in the league, while they allow only 77.3 points. They can win either way.
Alba Berlin Team News
In the previous game, Alba Berlin defeated Heidelberg 96:89, in a match in which Johannes Thiemann with 21 points and Sterling Brown with 19 points were the most effective. They are currently in second place in the Bundesliga with a record of 24-6.
Alba Berlin is having an unsuccessful season so far. They were very weak in the EuroLeague, while in most of the Bundesliga they were behind Chemnitz, only to finally manage to reach an acceptable second place. The trouble for this team is that many players were injured in the previous period, so they don’t have the opportunity to use their full potential. Fortunately, Johannes Thiemann is healthy and represents the best individual in this team, who can be a problem for any rival and with a little support from other teammates lead Alba Berlin to some success.
In the next meeting, Alba Berlin should avoid positional play and not allow the rival to organize offense from the low post, because they are much better in those positions. A high-scoring game might suit Israel Gonzalez’s team, though nothing is guaranteed in that case either.

Bayern vs Alba Berlin H2H
They played twice this season and Bayern won each time.
Absences and Injuries
Sylvain Francisco and Danko Brankovic skipped the previous duel for the home team, so they are questionable about the next one. Gabriele Procida, Christ Koumadje, Martin Hermannsson, Matteo Spagnolo and Louis Olinde are unlikely to be available for the guests.
Bayern vs Alba Berlin Prediction
This duel could be decisive in who could get home court advantage at the end of the regular season. At the moment, Bayern has that advantage, partly due to the large number of injured players on the visitors. And if it wasn’t for that situation, Pablo Laso’s team would be the favorite because of the quality, so our prediction is that the home team will win by a margin higher than the spread offered.
