Murcia vs Unicaja Odds
Murcia Team News
After fantastic performances and results in the quarterfinals, where they eliminated Valencia 2-1, Murcia’s basketball team has continued to play phenomenally in the semifinals. They defeated Valencia twice away (96-86, 84-77), and now they’ve done the same against Unicaja.
Sito Alonso’s squad triumphed 88-79 in the first game and 101-83 in the second, achieving a sensational result. During the regular season, Unicaja lost only twice in 17 games, and now Murcia has forced them to capitulate twice in three days.
Murcia played masterfully in the second game, outplaying Unicaja in all the key basketball aspects. Their shooting percentages for two and three-pointers were better than Unicaja’s, and they recorded more rebounds and assists.
Rodions Kurucs was the most crucial player in the second game, scoring 21 points, hitting three triples, and achieving an overall PIR of 27. Four other Murcia players scored in double figures: Dustin Sleva with 16, Yannis Morin with 15, Ludde Hakanson with 14, and Dylan Ennis with 13 points.
Unicaja Team News
Unicaja’s basketball players delivered another subpar performance by their season’s standards in the second game. They had significant issues on both ends of the court.
Defensively, they weren’t aggressive enough. Murcia’s 101 points illustrate their weak defensive play. Additionally, they struggled to find offensive consistency. Murcia’s zone defense caused them serious problems again, and they managed to hit only seven three-pointers.
They now face a daunting task. To reach the grand final, they must win three consecutive games against Murcia, with two of those victories needing to be away. No team has ever come back from a 0-2 deficit in ACB League semifinals. Unicaja was the last team to achieve such a comeback, but it was in the quarterfinals against Alicante.
Murcia vs Unicaja H2H
These two teams have faced each other six times this season. Interestingly, Unicaja had won all four encounters against Murcia before this playoff. However, Murcia has won the two most crucial matches of this season.
Murcia vs Unicaja Prediction
Despite outplaying Unicaja in both games, the bookmakers still underestimate Murcia’s quality. We believe they have set a high handicap margin. Murcia might not win their third consecutive game in this series, but we firmly believe they won’t lose easily or convincingly.
