According to current form and results, Virtus Bologna looks more confident and stable as a team. They have a positive record of seven wins and only five losses this season, predominantly on their home court. In their recent match, Virtus achieved an impressive victory against Barcelona, which is one of the strongest teams in the Euroleague. Hackett and Shengelia have made significant contributions to the team's success, displaying heroic performances and playing around 30 minutes each game. On the other hand, Maccabi Tel Aviv is facing difficulties as they play without home advantage. They have shown inconsistent play and do not possess the same level of confidence as Virtus. Considering these factors, it is likely that Virtus Bologna will take the initiative in the game and secure a victory.
