Quick Take

Pre-match view

Cluj's first home game of the season follows a 55-89 EuroCup loss, while Venezia have won four of five official games.

Venezia are the likelier winner, ahead after 40 minutes in about 61 of 100 such games, and the game leans under 172.5 combined points. Over 39.5 combined third-quarter points at 1.82 is the one price with a clear edge.

Context

Cluj play their first home game of the season with 11 new players, Plavšić back in the rotation and Beslać awaiting a game-time call, against a Venezia side that has won four of five official games and was without Jordan Parks in its latest outing.

Beslac is the sole player identified for a late fitness call before Cluj's second EuroCup game. His availability may affect the home side's depth, but no decision had been announced.
- Mihai Silvășan said on 6 October that a decision on Dusan Beslac would be made at game time.
Plavšić was absent for much of Cluj's preparation and missed the EuroCup opener in Rome for medical reasons. His return at Vienna restored an option that had not been available during the early part of the season.
- Plavšić made his first U-BT appearance in the 95-84 win at BC Vienna on 3 October.
- Silvășan said Plavšić had missed much of pre-season after an injury.
Livingston had been unavailable for Cluj's first EuroCup game and returned alongside Plavšić in Vienna. His return gives the home side another recovered player entering the Venezia fixture.
- Livingston II made his first U-BT appearance in the 95-84 win at BC Vienna on 3 October.
- He had missed the 30 September EuroCup game against Maxima Roma for medical reasons.
Cluj's group has changed extensively from last season. The staff has kept the same coach and playing philosophy, but the side is still forming on-court connections in only its third official match of the campaign.
- U-BT added 11 players for the 2026-27 season.
- Mihai Silvășan said the team is working to build player relationships and clarify roles.

Basketball markets here include overtime: the winner and the combined points count the whole game.

Expected score after 40 minutes: Cluj-Napoca 82.5, Venezia 86.7. The 3rd quarter has more than 39.5 points in about 63 of 100 games like this. Venezia have stronger current form and better roster continuity, while Cluj are still integrating 11 new players and were blown out in their EuroCup opener. Cluj's home court and returning big man Plavšić should keep it close, but Venezia's balanced scoring and three-point shooting give them a slight edge.
