CM vs BAY Dream11 Match Prediction

 

CM vs BAY Dream11: Having lost the opening game on the first day of Basketball Bundelsiga’s final phase post the coronavirus-forced break, defending champions Bayern Munich will be looking to get back to winning ways when they lock horns against Crailsheim Merlins at Audi Dome, in Sendling-Westpark, Munich, Germany on Monday night (IST).

With all the matches in Basketball Bundelsiga’s final tournament being played at a single venue, Audi Dome, in Munich, Germany, no team can really claim to have the home-court advantage. It’s even-steven, in that sense, before every match and that’s why every team is looking like a more suitable matchup in this phase of the competition.

Bayern Munich’s surprise 85-95 defeat against Ratiopharm Ulm certainly justify that claim. With no disrespect to Ulm, Munich were always the favourite to win the last game, but Munchen showed that the break was hard on them, with some players failing to turn up, or were not at their normal standards. But again, Munich boast a deep roster and have quality as well. Struggling for too long is not associated with them or with their players. So expect a better showing from the reigning champions in this game.

Crailsheim Merlins must also be feeling hard-pressed to win this game following the 78-89 defeat in game-1 against BG Gottingen. More so because of the profile of the opponents in the group. Making up for the lost ground will be hard for them if they lose too many games in the beginning. They have to win here.

Crailsheim Merlins vs Bayern Munich team news:

Crailsheim Merlins

Bayern Munich: Despite Ismet Akpinar fit for the last game, he was not used against Ulm and remained on the bench for the entire game. He is too big a player to remain on the bench, that’s why his fitness looks more an issue at this stage. That said, there are reports he may be used in this game. But players such as Jason George, Matej Rudan, Sasha Grant and Jacob Knauf are likely to be overlooked in this game.
