Expected score: Basquet Girona 90-79 Joventut Badalona
Basquet Girona host Joventut Badalona in an ACB matchup on 25 October 2026. Both sides arrive in decent form, though they've been competing in different European competitions recently. This is a chance to see how each team performs back in the domestic league after their continental efforts.
Team form
Basquet Girona
Girona have been impressive in the FIBA Europe Cup, winning all three of their recent matches. They put 109 points past Zielona Gora at home, followed by victories at Oostende (91 points) and at home against Dinamo Bucharest (87 points). Over those three games, they've averaged 95.7 points per game while holding opponents to 73.0 per game. That's a strong offensive output paired with solid defensive control — the kind of form that travels well into league play.
Joventut Badalona
Badalona have been competing in the Champions League and the Supercopa ACB, with five recent matches showing mixed results. They've won four of those five, including a notable 101-87 victory over Barcelona in the Supercopa. However, their most recent outing — a 76-74 win over Bonn — was a tight affair, suggesting they can be vulnerable in close contests. Across their last five games, they're averaging 88.6 points per game while conceding 83.0 per game. That's respectable, but the defensive numbers are less impressive than Girona's recent record.
Head-to-head
There is no head-to-head history available between these two sides in the data provided, so we're working with form and current trajectory alone.
Key factors
Girona's recent offensive efficiency stands out — they've been prolific and consistent. Badalona's strength lies in their ability to win tight games, as shown against Bonn, but they haven't faced an opponent quite as sharp as Girona in recent weeks. The home court advantage for Girona is also worth noting; they've won all three recent matches at their venue. Badalona will need to tighten their defence, which has been leaking points in recent outings. Girona's pace and scoring touch should be the decisive factor if they maintain their current intensity.
Prediction
Girona come into this match as clear favourites. Their recent form is superior in both volume of scoring and defensive solidity. They're averaging nearly 96 points per game while keeping opponents well below 75 per game — a significant advantage over Badalona's numbers. Playing at home, where they've been dominant, gives them another edge. Badalona are capable and have shown they can compete, but they're coming off a narrow win and haven't demonstrated the same level of control that Girona have displayed. The model expects Girona to win comfortably.
Back Girona to win. They should be able to impose their offensive rhythm and defensive discipline on a Badalona side that, while competitive, hasn't shown the same sharpness in recent play. The home advantage and current form trajectory both favour the hosts. This looks like a strong opportunity to support Girona.
