The Catalan derby will wrap up Round 25 of the ACB League.

Joventut are eager to bounce back and repay their fans after a disappointing showing against Valencia, while Barcelona, fueled by a big EuroLeague win over Milano, look to keep their momentum going in the domestic competition.

Joventut Form & Team News

Joventut’s season has been a rollercoaster so far.

Their EuroCup campaign ended in disappointment, as they failed to reach the round of 16—well below the club’s usual standards. However, they have looked much better in the ACB League, where they sit at 14-10, sharing fifth place with Barcelona.

In the last round, they picked up a much-needed 86-81 away win against Força Lleida, snapping a four-game losing streak in all competitions. Once again, veteran Ante Tomic led the charge with a strong double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds. 

Adama Hanga matched his 19 points, while Devon Dotson added 18. Kassius Robertson (11) and Sam Dekker (10) also contributed in double figures.

With a favorable schedule ahead, a win over Barcelona could be just what they need to spark a strong run.

Barcelona are dealing with a lot of injuries at this point in the season, but despite all the problems, they are staying competitive and winning.

After a shocking loss to Bayern, they bounced back with a great offensive performance in Milan, securing a win. Just three days later, Barca face another big challenge against a strong rival. With little time for training, coach Penarroya will have to rely on the individual talent of his best players.

Dario Brizuela and Kevin Punter were outstanding against Milan, combining for 52 points, and Barcelona will need them to perform well again to get a win in this tough away game.

Young Raul Villar has been getting more chances in ACB League games lately, but his status for this match is uncertain due to an ankle injury.

Head to Head

The first meeting of these clubs this season, played earlier this year, went to Joventut after an overtime win, 91-90. The player most responsible for the victory was former Joventut player Kaiser Gates, who scored 20 points.
