The recent results of the Calef team show that their offensive firepower may be unstable, there are holes on the defensive end, and the total points in many games are high, but their scoring ability is limited against strong teams. As a traditional strong team in the league, VEF Riga has a relatively balanced offensive and defensive system recently, especially the defensive intensity, which has the ability to effectively limit the opponent's scoring. The recent trend of total points scored by the two teams provides data support for the direction of "small points".

Looking back at the past head-to-head records of the two teams, VEF Riga has a clear advantage in terms of strength and record. What's more, the confrontations between the two sides are usually characterized by fierce defense and a slower pace, and the total score is often not high, with the final total score of less than 172.5 points in many games. The historical head-to-head pattern strongly suggests that this game may once again be in a defensive strangulation battle.

are for the over/under of "less than 172.5", and the odds offered by the institution are 1.83 and 1.82 respectively, which is a very close and balanced payout, indicating that the institution is cautious about whether the total score can exceed 172.5 points, and there is no obvious tendency, but it is slightly inclined in the direction of "small score". At the same time, the away win odds are at a low level, in line with VEF Riga's strength advantage, and its strong defense is the key guarantee to play "small points".

VEF Riga has the advantage and strong defense, which can effectively suppress Calef's attack; 2. Calef's scoring efficiency may decrease in the face of high-intensity defense; 3. Historical confrontations have played low scores many times, with pattern references; 4. The odds structure has slight support for "small points". It is likely that VEF Riga will be in control of the pace of the game, defending to secure the victory and thus keep the total points under the handicap.
