Despite Bilbao’s strong home form, Baskonia’s offensive depth, pace, and experience in high-pressure derby games give them a slight advantage. If they control tempo and shoot efficiently from the perimeter, they should dictate stretches of the game. Bilbao Basket will keep it close, especially at Bilbao Arena, but Baskonia’s scoring power may prove decisive late. We are backing Baskonia Vitoria to win this matchup.
