Gran Canaria has won the last three meetings against Valencia, which includes a victory in the most recent match in March of this year. Valencia hasn’t beaten Gran Canaria since January of 2019.

Valencia has scored no less than 90 points in three of its first four games back and Gran Canaria has topped 90 points in two of its last three games. There’s also offensive explosions when Gran Canaria and Valencia play each other, as the last five meetings have produced an average of 180.2 points per game. Even the last meeting in March when neither team could hit a shot consistently produced 164 points. The direction of this game seems clear.

Instead of getting involved with a tricky number, I’m going to side with the over on what appears to be a very low line.
