Barcelona vs Real Madrid Prediction: the Team to Score As Many As Before

Prediction for the Liga ACB Barcelona vs Real match which will take place on June 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Barça won the first game of the series 97-88. If this were the Euroleague, we would say that both teams overreached on efficiency, but for the ACB, it's okay.

The Catalans also outscored their opponents in rebounding, 31-26. As for three-pointers, the score was 12-12. While that was fine for Barcelona, it was too much for Real Madrid.

The teams expectedly reached a total over - 163.5 with a wide margin. 

The Madrid team scored more than expected - they did too well from beyond the arc. In game two, they won't be able to earn 88. However, there shouldn't be a catastrophic decrease in their scoring - many of those who had little or no scoring in game one of the regular season (like Hezonja and Rodriguez) are performing much better now.

Recall that Real Madrid lost by 78-87. Seventy-eight points is the worst score of any of these teams in head-to-head meetings in the ACB League this season, and 165 is the lowest total.

The ACB League games between these teams are productive, unlike the Euroleague. On Friday, Barça and Real Madrid combined for 185 points. Now some bookmakers allow an excellent odds total of 21 points less. Why not?
