Pick: Joventut to qualify
Odds: 1.88
Stake: 8/10
First round Joventut played a terrible game, made just 3/16 3pts and still were leading for 38 minutes. While Kataja has a nice team this year, it is still not on the same level as Joventut yet. The result of first game is a bit misleading and does not show real capabilities of both teams. Joventut has two new players since the last game Alex Ruoff and José Nogués.
They also had a long trip with some problems with flights, but this won't play major role at this point of the season, IMO.
Joventut has to win 4+ in order to qualify and honestly I see this as double digit victory. Kataja will fight hard, that is just not always enough :)
