Inter -1,5
Description
Bet highlight:
- 3-0 H2H for Inter in this season
- Strong point guards Caruthers and Cousins
- More depth roster for Inter
Full analysis:
This year's H2H record is 3-0 in favour of Inter, who crushed Latvia's Valmiera 105-83 in the ENBL over the weekend to book their place in the competition's semi-finals. And as we know, it's better to recover after a win.
Spišská are very strong at home, winning 12 out of 14 games there. The last time they played at home they crushed Prievidza by 37. They are often helped by local referees, who give the home team a 60/40 advantage. And even though Šarišský is the referee today, with SBA boss Ondruš (who is originally from Inter), they could be whistling straight.
I think Inter have a bit more depth roster, more importantly, better quality players. With all due respect to Cohill and Co, it's not Cousins and Caruthers who can win a game on their own.
Spišská doesn't do much defending here, she's strong in attack and that could suit Inter. Only the two aforementioned Americans played more than 30 minutes for Inter on Saturday, otherwise Naglic has spread his resources across 9 players.
Juricek and the long-term injured Antoni did not play for Spišská in Nitra. Five Spišská players played 30 minutes or more.
Two units on a small handicap of -1.5 on Inter Bratislava, fair odds I have somewhere around 1.7. Inter isn't Prievidza, has a better coach and definitely won't underestimate Spišská.
