Valencia Continuing Their Dream EuroLeague Campaign
Valencia arrive in Athens as one of the best basketball stories in Europe over the last couple of years. Few believed this team was capable of finishing second in the EuroLeague regular season just one year after receiving an invitation to the elite division, let alone knocking out giants Panathinaikos in the quarterfinal series 3-2.
After losing the opening two matches at home, the Oranges were unstoppable in Athens, winning two games in a row before outclassing Panathinaikos by a 17-point margin in Game 5 in Spain. This will be the first Final Four appearance for every player on the roster, which could become a problem under pressure.
Jean Montero, Brancou Badio and Kameron Taylor are labeled as the leaders of this squad, but Braxton Key, Matt Costello and others are also capable of exploding for 20+ points against anyone. Valencia are without a doubt one of the most entertaining teams to watch, usually preferring a high-tempo style of basketball.
Real Madrid Counting on Experience in Athens
Real Madrid punched their Final Four ticket in impressive fashion by beating Hapoel Tel Aviv in four games. Sergio Scariolo’s side won both appearances in Spain, while an 87-81 victory on neutral court in Bulgaria was enough to book their flight to Athens.
It is worth adding that Los Blancos earned 20 victories in their 21 home appearances in the EuroLeague this season, but their road games were far less convincing, so it remains to be seen how quickly they can adapt to neutral ground in Athens.
Experience remains their biggest strength, with Facundo Campazzo, Mario Hezonja and Trey Lyles currently standing out as the key difference makers. Walter Tavares suffered an injury, which is a major blow for the Spanish side, but Usman Garuba has shown he can fill Tavares’ role when needed. Another important detail is that Real Madrid travel to Greece after losing three straight league games.
Verdict
Valencia have shown multiple times this season that they fear nobody, while the recent series against Panathinaikos highlighted their winning mentality. They already secured three victories this season in this arena, and with Real Madrid struggling away from the Spanish capital, I am backing the Oranges to win this matchup.
