Buducnost to smash Asseco Arka Gdynia in Eurocup
Buducnost to smash Asseco Arka Gdynia in Eurocup
This encounter between Buducnost and Asseco Arka Gdynia reveals exactly the proper situation for betting on basketball. I pick up the Montenegro powerhouse to hammer the Poles because:
- the main point guard of Arka Gdynia, Phil Greene IV got injured a couple of days ago and he is a very important player for them. In the last Eurocup game played against Unicaja Malaga, Greene was the leading scorer with 18 points and had as well the best index rate (15) from the entire team.
- the other guard of Gdynia, Krzysztof Szubarga who normally comes from the bench for the Polish team is 35 years old. He can play decent basketball, making some assists but he cannot be the main option in this position. Against Unicaja Malaga he had 0/5 field goal and 2 index rate. I don’t see how he will resist the whole game against Buducnost.
- the immediate effect of Phil Greene’s injury was visible this round in the Polish league, where Arka Gdynia has lost at home against the average team from Gliwice (78-87), in a match where the visitors had the odd 8.50 to win.
- On the other side, Buducnost is coming after a big win in Belgrade against Crvena Zvezda, one of the toughest team to be beaten at home, in Stark Arena. Winning that encounter is saying a lot about Buducnost potential this season.
- Buducnost had already 0-2 in the Eurocup group and they are hungry for victories. If they want to maintain a chance they cannot escape this opportunity to smash Arka Gdynia, which given these circumstances it has to be an easy catch. Beating them as many points as you can today, will give Buducnost an important advantage in the case of a tie situation at the end of the Eurocup regular season. That’s why I am expecting they will try to destroy the visitor team.
