Cholet vs Brindisi Odds
Cholet Team News
Cholet enters this match after another excellent edition, this time against Varese, led by several NBA players. However, that was not enough to overcome the French team, which outplayed its opponent 96:88 and got a great opportunity to fight for participation in the European competition.
As in several cases in this season’s FIBA Champions League, the winner was decided by a big turnaround in the fourth quarter. In the same way that Varese won the semifinals of the tournament against FMP, Cholet also defeated the Italian team. He had Varese all in his hands, until the fourth part of the game. Then the current finalist with 24:10 was better in that section and in the end, it will turn out to be without drama, secured placement in the final. Terrance Campbell was the most responsible for that with 23 points. He neutralized Sean McDermott and his 27 points and contributed to his team’s victory.
Even on the last step, Cholet will not have an easy task. Two very difficult games are behind them at the tournament in Antalya, and the next one will be just as demanding. If they want to go to the group stage, they need to provide quality games, as they have done so far.
Brindisi Team News
On the way to the final, Brindisi defeated Oradea and Den Bosch, of which the last one stands out, which was convincing (78:63). In this way, the Italian team demonstrated how dominant it is.
There were problems only in the first part, in which Brindisi failed to find an attacking rhythm. Those 13 points scored did not cost them much, because the rival gave only six more. Already in the second part of the game, things start to change drastically and Brindisi decides that part in their favor 26:15 and takes control of the match. In the third quarter, the defense was superb, and until the end of the match, the advantage only grew. It is precisely this defense that separates the Italian team from the others at this moment and what they believe they can do until the very end. This does not mean that they are not of sufficient quality on the attacking side. On the contrary. Former Lietkabelis player Jamel Morris was excellent again with 19 points, after Dan Bosch’s goalkeeper was the most effective with 16 in the first match. He crystallized as the first name of the team and will be like that in the final.
Brindisi seems very well organized with Americans playing leading roles. Compared to last season, it is hard to expect that they will change direction completely, but the games in this tournament, as well as in the preparatory games, prove that the Italian team pays a little more attention to the defensive.

Cholet vs Brindisi Prediction
Cholet showed that it is an attacking team, while Brindisi is more defensive in the previous two meetings. When it comes to the finals, it is usually the defense that takes the upper hand, as both teams get nervous as a rule, which reduces offensive production. It is difficult to predict who could win the tournament, but because of all the above, our proposal is that there will be less points than the offered limit.
