In the regular season of the British Basketball League, a match between the London Lions and the Surrey Scorchers will take place in the capital of the UK on Thursday, April 18. The game is scheduled to start at 20:45 Central European Time.
London Lions
The Lions have long settled all their affairs in the British Basketball League. The team secured first place at the end of the regular season and focused on their performances in the EuroCup. However, in the Euro arena, London suffered a setback, losing in the playoff semifinal series to the eventual champions, Paris. The match against the Surrey Scorchers will serve as a rehearsal for the BBL quarterfinal playoff series.
Surrey Scorchers
Surrey fought with the Bristol Flyers for seventh place almost until the end but failed to succeed. Currently, there are two wins separating the teams, and in case of equal points, the difference in points scored and conceded will be considered. Surrey has no chance here (-119 for Surrey and +12 for Bristol). Eighth place for the team means an inevitable elimination in the quarterfinals of the playoffs against London, with whom Surrey will play the next match.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- The Lions have won their last nine matches in the BBL.
- The Scorchers have performed poorly on the road and have won only once in their last four games.
- The London team has won the last eight matches against Surrey.
London Lions vs Surrey Scorchers Prediction
The hosts will have no motivation, so it's uncertain whether they will play at full strength. Therefore, I suggest betting on the Scorchers to win with a handicap of +19.5.
