Baskonia vs Manresa Prediction 1 November 2026

The hosts are currently enduring a seven-game losing streak. They recently fell to ASVEL in the EuroLeague (79-94), following a heavy defeat against Real Madrid (86-104). Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz have struggled to compete with the continent’s elite, offering little resistance to Europe’s top-tier clubs. However, there’s still potential on the domestic front. Defensively, they can find success - the team concedes an average of just 82.8 points per game, the second-best mark in the league. With Velimir Perasović now at the helm, expect Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz to maintain a pragmatic approach throughout all 40 minutes. And, of course, facing ICL Basquet Manresa’s porous defense, there’s every opportunity for Baskonia to make their mark offensively as well.

The visitors have suffered three defeats in their last five outings. In the previous round of the domestic championship, they fell to Burgos, 81-89. ICL Basquet Manresa typically look to play at a high tempo, but that approach often comes at the expense of their defense. On average, Manresa concede around 102 points per game while scoring about 85 themselves. It’s unlikely the team will be able to produce anything extraordinary against Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz. Their resources simply don’t match those of their EuroLeague opponents, and the quality gap is evident. That’s reflected in the numbers: Manresa average 26.2 fouls per game compared to Baskonia’s 18.8, and they convert just 27.8% of their three-point attempts, while Baskonia are hitting 41.5%.
