Virtus vs Barcelona Odds
Virtus Team News
What was evident that it would happen at one point, was confirmed in the previous period. Virtus could not keep up the same high rhythm he had set since the beginning of the season, so a drop in form followed.
This is evidenced by the defeats against weak Brindisi, then against Bayern by 90:76, in a game in which Luca Banchi’s team was a shade better rival in the first half, only to lose strength in the second. That was completely expected, although Virtus is still standing very well in the Euroleague table – with a score of 7-4, it is in fourth place in the table. They hinted against Tortona in the domestic league that there is a possibility of coming out of a slightly worse period. They beat that rival 99:70, with 16 points from Tornike Shengelia and 14 points from Jordan Mickey.
Virtus does not expect an easy task now. Barcelona is an extremely serious team and Virtus must be at their best if they want to disrupt the plans of a quality rival who is playing excellently this season.
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona is playing above expectations this season. As strange as it may sound for a team that is always at the top. It was expected that Roger Grimau could be a problem on the bench of the Catalan team, mostly due to his inexperience. It turned out the opposite.
Sarunas Jasikevicius did not give as much freedom to the players as he does to Grimau. This is the secret of the excellent games of Barcelona, which is currently in second place, with a score of 9-2. Only Real Madrid is ahead with 10-1 and that is the only obstacle that Barcelona has not been able to overcome during this time. In the prelude to this meeting, Barcelona outplayed Granada a bit harder 80:69, and that after making an 11-point difference in the fourth quarter. The most deserving of the victory were Rokas Jokubaitis with 20 points and Jan Vesely with 13 points.
Barcelona just needs to continue in this rhythm. For now, there are no specific segments in the game, which at first glance could be better. That can be discussed when the most important moments come, but there is still a lot to play for.

Virtus vs Barcelona Prediction
Virtus is in a slight slump in form and our expectations are that it will be crucial for Barcelona to overcome the team from Bologna in this game. The Italian representative plays fast basketball, and the visiting team has the quality to respond to that rhythm and at the same time to slow down the rhythm and thus defeat the rival. All that will help them to win with a margin higher than the offered handicap.
