Why Besiktas Can Beat Barcelona in the EuroLeague
Dusan Alimpijevic’s team answered every doubt in Belgrade. They crushed Maccabi Tel Aviv 109 to 93. Besiktas hit 17 of 30 from three and handed out 25 assists.
Anthony Brown and Scottie Wilbekin scored 20 points each. Devon Dotson added 17. Besiktas now own the second best scoring offense in the competition.
Barcelona Problems Before the Trip to Istanbul
Barcelona sit at 1 and 1. They beat Anadolu Efes 89 to 82 at home, but started badly and needed a late push. Then Dubai happened.
Barcelona lost the second quarter 29 to 12 and trailed by double digits for much of the second half. They shot 20 fewer free throws than Dubai and lost the battle on the glass. Kevin Punter scored 19 and 25 in the first two rounds, but nobody joined him in Dubai.
The newcomers look lost so far in Barca and they don’t have much time to fix it now. As they fly again, and the long trip from Dubai will not help their legs. Josh Nebo, Tosan Evbuomwan and Yoan Makoundou are all out. Besiktas only miss Jeffries and Mady Sissoko.
Barcelona won all four old meetings in 2012/13, but that history is far too old to matter now. Check the beste bookmakersider for the latest odds before tip off on Friday, 2 October.
Besiktas vs Barcelona Best Bet Arguments
Besiktas play fast and shoot well, and they just hit 17 threes in a 16 point win. Barcelona have no Nebo to protect the rim and play too much 1 on 1 in offense, both point guards J. Robinson and U. Gibson are struggling to create real chances for the teammates.
The Catalans also looked slow in Dubai, the tactics of coach Sekulic look questionable at points, with weak rebounding and little attack on the basket. Besiktas play at home, they have rest, and they have momentum. That is why we expect a win by 3 or more points.
