Gran Canaria has won six of the last nine meetings against Basket Zaragoza, but they’ve been on the losing side in three of the last four meetings.

Basket Zaragoza has simply not played well since returning and that includes allowing 113 points in their latest loss to MoraBanc Andorra. Gran Canaria has scored a combined 195 points in its last two games and is fresh off an overtime victory, which usually gives a team some extra pep in its step. We also have h2h numbers that favor Gran Canaria long term, as they’ve won six of the last nine meetings and they usually have their way offensively in those games.

I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with Gran Canaria, the team that’s in much better form at the moment.
