CS Universitatea Cluj-Napoca - Valencia

Valencia has a great team as I have mentioned in previous predictions, that the team is stronger this year than it was in the previous season in Euroleague. They are definitely contenders to win the Eurocup and potentially return to the Euroleague. The last Valencia games have surprised me in a positive way - a 30 point win against Hamburg, and a 20 point win against Joventut. This shows that Valencia is on a roll and it will be difficult to stop them.

There isn't much to say about Cluj Napoca, they are not a bad team at all and it will be interesting to see them in the Eurocup, but they are not strong enough to compete with Valencia's team. The biggest weakness for them is the lack of contribution from their bench players, as the depth of Valencia's team is just as strong as their starting lineup. I believe this will be the main reason why Valencia will win by more than 8 points.
