Dinamo Sassari vs AEK: Analysis and Prediction – Dinamo Sassari and AEK will meet in the FIBA Champions League round two.
Dinamo Sassari vs AEK Odds
Dinamo Sassari Team News
Dinamo Sassari is in bad form at the beginning of the season. In the first five games, they only won once and barely Treviso 80:76. All the rest were defeats in which the epilogue could not have been different, when you look at the results.
In the game before this match, Dinamo Sassari lost to Virtus with a convincing score of 80:66, mostly thanks to a poorly played second quarter, in which they conceded 27 points. This directed the further course of events and enabled the team from Bologna to bring the match to an end without any problems, avoid drama and outplay the rival. Dinamo Sassari was not up to the level offensively and with only 66 points scored, it simply had nothing to ask for against the EuroLeague. Ousmane Diop was the only one worth mentioning in that defeat, as he was the only one to score in double figures. He led the rest of the team with 11 points.
Something like that should not happen again against AEK. It is clear that in front of Dinamo Sassari is now a slightly less demanding rival, but still the Italian team must play at the top level, both in defense and in offense. This was not the case in the previous duels, when Dinamo Sassari knew how to allow 111 points.
AEK Team News
In the introduction before this duel, AEK was better than Apollon with a convincing 100:70, which indicated that they are entering the next game in a very good mood. Not only that, AEK also beat Ludwigsburg in the FIBA Champions League, so the Greek team seems to have caught a good rhythm.
However, it is not that there were no oscillations against Apollon. After the first quarter in which AEK played excellent basketball, AEK was several levels worse in the second. He managed to make up for all that later in the third quarter, then in the fourth. They won the second half 52:29 against Apollon, proving that they cannot be shaken by one bad period in the game, which is a very good thing. Such an attitude will give the team additional confidence before the next visit. Ben McLemore was terrific with 26 points to lead AEK, all in just 17 minutes. Justin Tillman accompanied him excellently with 18 points and that duo will be a big threat to Dinamo Sassari as well.
Apart from the match against Lavrio, AEK have been playing very well this season. They even managed to trouble Olympiacos in Piraeus, which is a guarantee of good form. The red and whites celebrated only in the end by 79:71. For now, AEK has profiled as an good offensive team, which can bring them a lot of good in the upcoming clash.

Dinamo Sassari vs AEK Prediction
Dinamo Sassari simply do not have enough weapons to counter AEK. And when they score a large number of points, as for example was the case against Napoli (90), they happen to receive even more – 111. In this sense, the defense is problematic, which AEK will know how to expose and eventually win on the road by a margin higher than the offered handicap.
