Malaga vs Murci Winning Prediction
- Compared to Murcia, Unicaja is a superior squad. In this season, Unicaja have showed many times. It is quite hard to think that the guests would be able to take the hosts by surprise.
- Furthermore, because they prevailed 2-0 in their quarterfinal series, the hosts have had a lot more time to relax. Unicaja is also the favourite to win this game because they have a winning streak versus Murica.
