Szombathely Looking to Build on Home Victory
Szombathely started their FIBA Champions League campaign with a narrow 99-93 defeat against Antwerp Giants in Belgium. Their shooting was good, converting 11 of 22 three-point attempts, but they failed to control the paint, allowing 17 offensive rebounds.
The Hungarian side returned to winning ways in the second round in front of their home crowd, taking down Salon Vilpas 85-72. Szombathely won all four quarters despite shooting an awful 34% from the field.
Szombathely enjoyed a great run in the FIBA Europe Cup last season, reaching the semifinals before losing both legs against Bilbao, 98-81 at home and 95-88 in Spain.
AEK Athens Searching for a Much-Needed Win
AEK started the new FIBA Champions League season with a narrow 95-93 win over Finnish champions Salon Vilpas, despite the pre-game odds heavily favoring them. Frank Bartley delivered an outstanding performance with 27 points.
The Double Headed Eagles carried the heavy-favorite tag in the second round as well but were demolished by Antwerp Giants 103-76 in front of their home crowd, scoring just 26 points while allowing 55 in the second half.
They have played two Basket League games since then and suffered two more defeats, first against PAOK 65-62 and most recently against Vikos 95-84.
Verdict
Both sides currently have 1-1 records, but AEK Athens need a victory more here to boost their confidence and end a bad run. They are a stronger team in my opinion, so an away win with a +4.5 handicap is the best bet.
AEK Athens +4.5
