Tenerife vs VEF Riga Odds
Tenerife Team News
Tenerife, one of the main favorites to win the competition, has been playing in variable form lately. Usually, after a good game, a slightly worse one follows, and they continue to do so. In the previous two duels, which were a prelude to the next game, Tenerife defeated Bilbao, then Andorra.
While the game against Bilbao was very uncertain, until the last moment and decided only after five extra minutes, the situation was different against Andorra. In that game, the question of the winner was decided in the early stage, so Tenerife was better 71:53. It can be concluded that the team’s defense was the most responsible for that, since in no quarter was the opponent allowed to score more than 16 points. In the end, the most effective in the victory were Marcelinho Huertas with 12 points, while Sasu Salin added 11. This is one of the true indicators of the direction this team’s game should go, if they want to continue with good results.
In that case, they will have to reduce the oscillations in the game, which are still present. Tenerife could very easily have lost against Bilbao, and then the mood would have been completely different. Also, rebounding is what is positive about Tenerife, which is a sign that they are coming to be able to control the game in the right way.
VEF Riga Team News
VEF Riga proved that they will be a difficult opponent for anyone. Despite a somewhat weaker start, in which she was finding her rhythm, in the rest of the season she managed to beat higher-quality rivals, such as Cholet and Prometey.
This team should draw confidence from those two games. Although she experienced two defeats, they were uncertain games, in which the winner was decided at the very end. After losing to Prometey with 70:66, VEF Riga waited for the domestic championship, in which it dominates. That trend continued, and this team outplayed Viimsa 96:46, with a particularly impressive fourth quarter in which they scored 40 points and conceded just five points. In such a situation, the rival simply had nothing to look for on the floor. Roberts Blooms was outstanding with 27 points, followed by Jaizec Lottie with 14.
In the upcoming matches, VEF Riga must maintain the current level of play, to be able to take a step higher and start winning. For that, they will need better concentration in the final stages of the match.

Tenerife vs VEF Riga Prediction
Taking into account their previous meetings, current form, but also the quality of the squad, we should not expect an uncertain game. Tenerife has enough offensive weapons to hurt their rivals and enough defensive prowess to stop VEF Riga’s offensive. Due to all of the above, we expect that, with the support of the home fans, Tenerife will win by a margin greater than the offered handicap.
