VAL vs BER Dream11 Match Prediction
VAL ve BER Dream11: Having dropped the last two games against Panathinaikos and Zalgiris Kaunas in round-16 and 17 respectively, Maccabi Tel Aviv will be eying an immediate response as they look to get their EuroLeague season back on track when they play an “out-of-form” Alba Berlin in a round-18 match at Mercedes-Benz Arena Berlin.
This is the first time this season that Maccabi dropped two straight games in Europe, a run that has robbed them a place in top-two. But they remain hot in their pursuit of the top-four, and sit at 4th on the table, with an 11-6 return this season.
Alba Berlin, on the other hand, are seemingly fighting the lost battle. They are second from bottom coming into this game, with just five wins this season.
