Murcia vs Tortona: Analysis and Prediction – Murcia and Tortona will play an FIBA Champions League game.
Murcia vs Tortona Odds
Murcia Team News
Murcia are playing extremely well this season. In the FIBA Champions League, they are in second place with a score 3-1, while in the Liga Endesa they are also well positioned. In 13 rounds, this team has five defeats, which is superb by Murcia’s standards.
The situation looked even better until two rounds ago, when Murcia had 8-3. However, the series of two defeats spoiled the impression a little, but not so much that the Spanish team could be said to be in crisis. Especially after the last game against Valencia, which Murcia lost at home 85:77. That loss didn’t come until overtime, but after Murcia trailed by a wide margin in the second quarter. There they showed excellent fighting spirit, overtook their rival and later had a chance to win. They failed to do that, but the overall impression is positive and it cannot be said that Murcia enters the next match in a bad mood.
The most effective in that game were Dylan Ennis with 25 points, eight rebounds and five assists, followed by Rodions Kurucs with 12 points. Ever since the Super Cup and the semi-finals of that competition, Murcia have been showing quality and they just need to continue in that rhythm.
Tortona Team News
Until a few games ago, Tortona was one of the more pleasant surprises of both Italian basketball and European competition. In the domestic league, after some defeats, that can no longer be said, but in the FIBA Champions League, this team is still undefeated.
At the start of the season, Tortona had several brilliant games and in that period positioned itself as a very serious team. However, recently there has been a decline in the game, which was also visible in some wins, which happened only after ovetime, but also in convincing defeats against Brescia on their own court by 87:59. In the introduction before this duel, Tortona lost two consecutive games. First, Virtus was better than this team 99:70, which was also a surprising difference, and then Pistoia 100:97. The most effective in the defeat were Amine Noua and Kyle Weems with 17 points. Also, it’s worth mentioning that Mike Daum left the team for Anadolu Efes a few weeks ago.
Considering the above results, it is clear that the defense is Tortona’s biggest problem. Offensively, it still looks solid, but the other side of the court is problematic and they will have to fix that if they want to fight for the top in both competitions.
