ACB League: Barcelona vs Lleida 12/10/2025

Betting on Total Points in the 2nd Half

Barcelona hosts Lleida in a matchup where the difference in quality is obvious, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll see an offensive spectacle. On the contrary, games like this often bring a calmer second half, as the favorite usually slows down the tempo and focuses on control rather than scoring.

Barcelona is known for its structured play and defensive discipline. When they take an early lead, they rarely keep pushing — instead, they slow things down, use longer possessions, and rotate players from the bench. That approach almost always results in fewer points in the second half.

Lleida, on the other hand, comes into this game with no pressure but also with little chance to dictate the pace. If they fail to hit shots in transition, they quickly run into trouble, as it’s difficult to score easily against such a disciplined team.

For all these reasons, the tip under 87.5 points in the second half makes sense. I expect Barcelona to handle the game in their usual calm, controlled manner, while Lleida will struggle to break through their defense in the closing minutes.
