MTA vs BAR Dream11 Match Prediction

 

MTA vs BAR Dream11: Barcelona face an uphill task of snapping their two-game losing run when they face an in-form Maccabi tel Aviv in EuroLeague round-19 match at Menora Mivtachim Arena, on Tuesday night (IST).
In fact, Barca also had an off day in domestic competition as Bilbao Basket toppled them in front of their win fans, and that means, Barca have dropped three games in the last four games in all competitions. To make matter worse, Real Madrid continues to win and moved one game clear of them on the Liga ACB table.
Maccabi Tel Aviv have exceeded expectations this season. Nobody could have predicted them sitting at fourth on the points table after 18 rounds. In fact, they could end round-19 at 3rd if they beat Barcelona in this game.
