Barcelona vs Monaco Prediction: the Catalan team is a questionable favorite

Prediction for the Euroleague match which will take place on October 16. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Barcelona

The Catalans have one defeat and one victory after two rounds. They have one big problem with their performance - well, we won't take the 88:73 result in the home game against Alba seriously. We'd rather take the match in Kaunas, where Barça lost 67:74.

However, after two rounds there's still nothing to judge. If this Barcelona will be similar to Peñaroya's previous teams, they will play efficiently with everyone at home. And away, they won't play well against everyone.

Ok, it's too early to talk about the Catalans' totals, but we think it's time to talk about the betting odds. The thing is that the betting companies consider Barça the favorite, but this season we haven't seen any matches where they played like a favorite should. In the ASV league they played two games against outsiders, and one of them they won with difficulty.

Monaco

Not only did Monaco win two games, scoring 85 and 93 points, but they were also boosted by the return of Loyd. True, Calathes and Korkmaz are injured, but half of that problem is already solved. In addition, they have beaten Barcelona in their last three games, including the spring game in Catalonia. It's common to think that Barça was led by a weak coach last season.

Expert Betting Tips

So, there's nothing wrong with this Barcelona side in our opinion. The squad is great, but they weren't worse last season either. And this squad lost to the Monegasques in the Blaugrana.
