Cholet vs VEF Riga: Analysis and Prediction – Cholet and VEF Riga will meet in the FIBA Champions League round two.
Cholet vs VEF Riga Odds
Cholet Team News
In the course of the season so far, Cholet has played in accordance with the quality of the team he has. In the game before this duel, Cholet needed overtime to beat Le Mans 88:85.
It was a very close encounter, with Le Mans coming closer to victory. The home team also had a double-digit difference, but in the end the rival managed to neutralize it. However, it was not easy for Cholet even in the finale, when Le Mans had a five-point advantage. From all that, the visiting team managed to pull out and in the end, after an additional five minutes, triumphed. The number of points shows that the defense was on a level during the entire meeting, which was not the case against Tenerife, when Cholet received 95 points. In the duel against Le Mans, Neal Sakho was the most outstanding with 14 points.
Cholet this season has a simple principle. Loses against better teams, and wins against weaker ones. No deviation. It is a team that plays rationally, without too many three-point shots. A controlled game on both sides of the floor will be a recipe in some of the next duels.
VEF Riga Team News
VEF Riga is not doing well in the weak domestic Estonian-Latvian league, as well as in the start of the FIBA Champions League. When it comes to the domestic league, the Latvian team beat Ventspils by 39 points before this duel, but that result cannot be a parameter for the challenges that await this team.
In the opening round of the FIBA Champions League, VEF Riga was defeated by Darussafaka by 84:75. It is not encouraging news for them, considering that the Turkish team is not excelling in the Turkish league. The problem was a very bad first quarter of VEF Riga – Darussafaka decided that part of the game in their favor with 33:18. The rest of the game was played in an even game, but that difference from the beginning decided VEF Riga to disappoint their fans once again. Elijah Clarance was the most prominent in the defeated team with 20 points, while Brendan Adams was the second most effective with 17 points. That was not enough to seriously threaten a better rival, which VEF Riga helped to return to winning ways.
Excluding the game against Ventspils, VEF Riga struggled to a certain extent in the domestic championship with scoring points. Twice they stayed below 80 points, which is not a good sign, when you take into account the rivals in that league.

Cholet vs VEF Riga Prediction
In the course of the season so far, Cholet has shown that they are a solid team, which is how they won participation in the European competition through qualifications. On the other hand, VEF Riga not only lacks agresiveness, but also lacks the offensive potential to threaten the rival. Therefore, our suggestion is that the home team will win by a margin higher than the handicap offered.
