It’s hard to separate CTBC Brothers and Unity 7-Eleven Lions on the current CPBL points tabla. Both have the same number of wins after 43 rounds, and the Lions are at the top only because they have one less defeat. This game is likely to go down to the wire and we think the home court gives Chinatrust some degree of advantage.
