Dubai are tipped to defeat Virtus Bologna in their upcoming fixture, with the UAE champions regarded as strong Top 8 contenders. Virtus Bologna, despite a promising start with a couple of unexpected wins, are currently experiencing a crisis in form. This downturn has shifted the momentum in favour of Dubai, making them the preferred selection for Friday's match. The recommendation is based on Dubai's current strength and Bologna's recent struggles, rather than their early-season performance.

Match Preview 


Virtus Bologna are desperate to put an end to their EuroLeague losing streak, while Dubai's confidence is high after securing four wins in their last five appearances in the elite division. The latest odds are slightly favouring the visiting side. 

Virtus Bologna Slipping Down the Standings 


Virtus Bologna were near the top of the standings after six rounds, when they had a 4-2 record, but their form dipped drastically over the last couple of weeks. The Italian side currently occupy 13th position with four wins and five defeats. 

Their negative run started on 21st October with a 90-81 loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv on a neutral court in Bulgaria. This was followed by a disappointing 91-74 home defeat to Zalgiris Kaunas last week, after losing the battle on the boards (35-45 rebounds). 

A couple of days later, Virtus Bologna were involved in a shooting showdown against Besiktas but suffered another home loss, 103-101, despite holding a seven-point advantage at half-time. Derrick Alston Jr was their standout performer with 19 points. 

Dubai Showing Their Top-Eight Credentials 


Dubai's defensive numbers did improve under new head coach Xavi Pascual, but the UAE champions have started facing some new problems. The team currently sit in ninth place in the EuroLeague with a 6-3 record. 

The UAE champions hit a rich vein of form in mid-October, claiming three straight victories against Baskonia 93-79, Milano 101-97 and Bayern Munich 107-91. However, this winning streak ended last Tuesday with a surprising 99-93 home defeat to Paris. 

A couple of days later, Dubai hosted and outplayed serious Final Four contenders Hapoel Tel Aviv 97-83 in front of their home crowd. The hosts had full control of the paint with a 41-30 rebounding advantage, while shooting 56% from the field. Filip Petrusev was the man of the match with 20 points.

Verdict

Virtus Bologna claimed a couple of unexpected wins early in the campaign and played above expectations, but are currently going through a crisis. Dubai are serious Top 8 contenders in my eyes, and I will back the UAE champions to win on Friday.
