Real Madrid vs Barcelona Basketball Prediction 17th June 2022

[Sumit]

Real Madrid
Coach: Pablo Laso
Madrid took second place in the main tournament, but at the playoff stage the club showed good physical shape and a winning mood. They dealt with Manresa (2-0), and then defeated Basque Country (3-0) in three matches. As you can see, Real Madrid did not have to spend a lot of effort to get to the final. Madrid faced Barcelona in the fight for the gold medals. The team started with a win (88-75), but failed to maintain the advantage (69-71). Now it's time for their home game.

Barcelona
Coach: Sarunas Jasikevicius
Barcelona are also playing at a high level this season, so it's not surprising to see them in the final. The team knocked Gran Canaria out of the fight (2-0), and then left no chance for Hoventud (3-1). They acted sharply and aggressively, which led to such a result. Already in the final, Barcelona sank, however, only in the first meeting. The hosts came up unprepared for the match against Real Madrid (75-88), but made the right decisions, which turned into a victory in the last match (71-69). 

Prediction: 
The previous victory of Barcelona was obtained in the last seconds, that is, it was just luck. The team equalized the score in the series, but it's hard to say that the club acted confidently. Real Madrid will try to squeeze the maximum out of each match. I assume that Madrid have a better chance of success.

My prediction is Real Madrid to win.
