KB vs BAR Dream11 Match Prediction
KB vs BAR Dream11: Barcelona can make six wins out of six in EuroLeague when they play fellow Spanish team Saski Baskonia in round-17 at Fernando Buesa Arena, in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain on Thursday night.
Not only Barcelona are going strong in EuroLeague this season, but they are flying high in Liga ACB. The Catalonia giants are fresh off a huge 83-63 win over Real Madrid in Liga ACB, with only the point difference keeping Barca away from the top spot.
Saski Baskonia, on the other hand, are struggling both in the domestic competitions and in EuroLeague as well. They lost the last five games in all competitions and the last two in EuroLeague. That said, Saski are very much in the playoff race, with only two games separating them from top-8 heading into this match.
Head-to-head:
This will be the 19th match between these two teams in EuroLeague, with Saski Baskonia coming out on top in 10 games, against Barca’s 8 wins.
