BCK vs BAR Dream11 Match Prediction
BCK vs BAR Dream11: Barcelona go into their EuroLeague round-12 match against BCK Khimki seeking to bounce back from their worst performance of the season in the last round against reigning champions CSKA Moscow. The champions were too hot to handle right from the off, with Barca struggling to compete in almost all the departments. Nikola Mirotic and Bradan Davies kept the team within respectable range, but beyond them, almost entire squad failed to turn up for the season’s biggest game.
Khimki also come into this game looking to end their three-game skid in EuroLeague. All the momentum gained from the strong start to the season is gone. The Russian outfit is 8th in the points table, three games off the pace and two games behind Barcelona.
Head-to-head:
This will be the 9th meeting between these two teams in EuroLeague games and Barcelona hold the significant advantage with six wins against 2 defeats.
Barcelona did the double over BCK Khimki last season, and also win both their games against Khimki in 2017-18.
