Dolomiti Energia Trentino (Trento) are hosting the defending champions Virtus Segafredo Bologna at the PalaTrento Arena in Trento on Sunday, September 26, 2021, at 14:45 ET in this first round matchup of the Italian Lega A. Virtus Bologna had an impressive perfect run in the playoffs last season and were crowned champions and on Tuesday they also won the Italian Cup. Trento managed to compete in the postseason last year but were eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Trento finished last season with a 13-15 record and were placed in the 8th and final playoff spot of the league. In the playoffs they got eliminated by Olimpia Milano in the opening round with 3-0 wins. They are coming off a home defeat against Tortona in the Italian Cup with a 64-75 score. They played extremely poor offense, shooting with just 36.7% from the paint and 25% from downtown. Jordan Caroline did everything he could, scoring a game-high 23 points with 8-10 shots from the paint. He also grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds and had the best ranking in the game with 32, but it was not enough.

JaCorey Williams led the team both in scoring last season with 17.8 ppg and in rebounding with 7.8 per game. Gary Browne added 13.5 ppg, 3.9 rebounds and a team-high 5.4 assists per game.

Italian Lega A Virtus Bologna vs Trento Predictions 9/26/2021

Virtus Bologna finished last season a 19-9 record and were tied with Venezia in the third place of the league. In the playoffs they eliminated Treviso in the opening round with 3-0 wins, Brindisi in the semifinals with 3-0 and won the finals series against Olimpia Milano by 4-0 wins. They are coming off a road victory against Olimpia Milano with a 90-84 score and won the Italian Cup. They had an extremely efficient shooting game, making 61% of their shots from inside and 44.4% from outside the arc. Mouhammadou Jaiteh led the team with 18 points, grabbing a team-high 9 rebounds for a game-high 27 ranking. Alessandro Pajola added 14 points, 3 rebounds and a game-high 7 assists.

Marco Bellineli led the team in scoring last season with 14.5 ppg, while Milos Teodosic followed with 13.9 ppg and a team-high 6.5 assists per game.

Virtus Bologna had the second-best offense in the league last season with 85 ppg and had a 47.6% field goal percentage and a 35.6% 3-point percentage.

Both teams were tied 1-1 wins last season, with each one winning on the road. Trento won with an 83-91 score and Virtus with 85-92. Virtus are 5-1 in their previous six overall meetings and have won three straight matches in Trento. Trento had an 8-6 home record last season, while Virtus were 12-2 on the road. Virtus’ last three victories in Trento have been by 7, 6 and 6 points, so today’s -7 line feels too risky. I’m going to pick the hosting Trento to beat the odds in this one.
