ME vs BAR Dream11 Match Prediction
ME vs BAR Dream11: Movistar Estudiantes will be entertaining Barcelona in Liga ACB round-23 at WiZink Center on Sunday night (IST). This will be the first of the two games scheduled to be played at WiZink Center on Sunday, with Real Madrid taking on Basket Zaragoza in the first match.
By the time this game tips-off, Barcelona may find themselves in second if Madrid with their home game against Zaragoza, which is the likeliest result from that game. The Catalan arrive in this game on the back fo a five-game winning run in all competitions, last winning 83-20 against Bayern Munich in EuroLeague. Barca are set to qualify for the playoffs and are leading Liga ACB at the moment, so this has been a very good season so far for the team.
Estudiantes, on the other hand, are second from bottom, having won just five games in the first 22 rounds. They are out of top-four contention while finishing in top-six, which guarantees qualification to Euro Cup, is also hard conspiring they face an eight-game deficit, and considering their form, is very hard to erase at this stage in the season.
