Match Preview
Antwerp Giants are flying after taking down AEK Athens in the second round, but Salon Vilpas are quite unpredictable and capable of causing trouble for any squad when playing in front of their home crowd.
Hosts Struggling in the Champions League
Salon Vilpas had to go through the qualifiers to reach the FIBA Champions League main phase. After edging out Levice 90-87 in the quarterfinals, the Finnish side had no problems beating Bakken Bears 90-72 in the semifinals.
They were labelled massive underdogs in the opening round against AEK Athens in Greece and put up a fantastic fight before ultimately losing 95-93, despite entering the final quarter with a five-point lead. Leland Walker finished the game with 28 points.
Salon Vilpas offered good resistance in the first half of their second-round clash against Szombathely in Hungary but ultimately lost 85-72 due to a high number of turnovers and allowing too many second-chance points.
Antwerp Giants Making a Strong Impression
Antwerp started the new FIBA Champions League season with a home win, beating Hungarian side Szombathely 99-93 in early October. The Belgian side established a 34-23 lead in the first quarter and never looked back.
Enoch Cheeks played a key role with 23 points on 7/13 shooting, while Noel Coleman was close behind with 21 points. The victory could have been more convincing had Antwerp not struggled from the free-throw line, converting just 15 of 25 attempts.
The Giants were labelled huge underdogs in their second-round clash against AEK Athens in Greece two weeks ago. They trailed by four points at halftime but then scored 55 points while allowing just 26 to claim a convincing 103-76 victory. Enoch Cheeks delivered another amazing performance with 17 points and 13 rebounds.
Verdict
Antwerp's performances have been outstanding so far, and they have way more attacking options than Salon Vilpas. I also think the home side lack experience on the big stage, so an away win with a –7.5 handicap is my pick.
