Betting on the UCLA Bruins
The Los Angeles team arives to this UCLA vs Kentucky game after having won 8 games and lost just 2. The team is ranked third in the NCAA Pac-12 Conference. The team led by Mick Cronin has a perfect record in the last 5 games played. In the last match, where they faced the Denver Pioneers, they managed to win with a crushing score of 87-64.
To take the victory in this new encounter, the Bruins will have to rely on Jaylen Clark, their standout guard in the last game, who managed to score 24 points. They will also count with the help of Jaime Jaquez Jr, the #24 who has contributed significantly to the team this season.
Betting on the Kentucky Wildcats
The Wildcats have had an unconvincing campaign, however, in the last 5 games they have achieved 4 consecutive victories, of which most of the results were attained by wide point differences. The team coached by John Calipari has achieved a total of 7 wins this season, and has lost on 2 occasions. The Kentucky squad records an average points per game of 80.6, with a field goal shooting percentage of 29.8%.
In their most recent match against the Yale Bulldogs, the Wildcats managed to win in the middle of a very close game in which the score ended 69-59. Antonio Reeves made one of the key three-pointers to go up in the scoreboard, and Oscar Tshiebwe was the attacker who stood out the most, converting 28 points, a performance the Wildcats hope to repeat in this UCLA vs Kentucky game.
JefeBet Prediction
For this clash between UCLA vs Kentucky, we believe that it will be the Wildcats who will get the win. Although it will surely be a very even game, the Kentucky squad has a better chance to respond against the Bruins due to their record and the current state of their players.
