The Barça wants to prolong his good moment in Munich
Jasikevicius’ men are looking for their second victory in the Euroleague after beating Real Madrid warned of the Bavarian danger
BARCELONA, 17 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Barça visits Bayern Munich this Tuesday at the Audi Dome (8:30 p.m.) on matchday three of the 2022-2023 Euroleague Regular Phase, a competition in which they recovered from their bad start with a win against Real Madrid, while that the German team still does not know the victory, but it already showed last year to be a ‘bone’.
The second day of the tournament was essential for Sarunas Jasikevicius’ team to put their erratic start to the season behind them. A victory (75-73) in the Clásico that meant revenge against the madridistas, after the defeat in the Super Cup and not so far away in the Euroleague semifinals and the Endesa League final last year.
Thus, the azulgranas returned to track their campaign despite suffering until the last seconds. Two of the most outstanding players of the night were the Czech duo Tomas Satoransky and Jan Vesely, the new additions who led the way to victory. In fact, the base became the leader that his team is looking for, still touched by Nikola Mirotic’s injury injury.
Now, also in good dynamics in the Endesa League by clearly beating BAXI Manresa in the Nou Congost, the ‘Saras’ team want to continue on the path of victory against a rival they met in the Euroleague playoffs last season. For this reason, Tuesday night will be a remembrance of the series of five games, in which Barça came out triumphant with a lot of work by winning 3-2 and qualifying for the ‘Final Four’.
For their part, Bayern have not had the best start this season for coach Andrea Trinchieri, who has started with two consecutive defeats against Turkish Fenerbahce and Italian Virtus Bologna, respectively.
The Bavarian team averages the lowest point record in the EuroLeague so far this season with 62.5. A fact that must improve if they do not want to suffer before the insatiable pace of Barça, so they will need Nick Weiler-Babb to remain ‘plugged in’ and lead the offensive attack.
The American has been the German side’s most consistent player, averaging 14.0 points on 44.4 percent shooting from two and 54.5 percent from three. In addition to 3.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals.
Bayern’s defensive style has seen the German team exceed expectations in recent years. Despite the inaccuracies in attack, they have the second best defense, with 70 points conceded per game. From there, they hope to make the Catalan team suffer again.
BAYERN MUNICH: Hunter, Lucic, Rubit, Walden and Weiler-Babb –possible starting five–, George, Gillespie, Jaramaz, Obst, Wimberg, Winston and Zipser.
BARÇA: Satoransky, Laprovittola, Kalinic, Vesely and Sanli –possible starting five–, Da Silva, Abrines, Jokubaitis, Higgins, Tobey, Paulí, Nnaji and Caicedo.
–ÁRBITROS: Pukl, Pastusiak y Koromilas.
