The Fiserv Forum will be buzzing with excitement this Saturday when the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Chicago Bulls in game two of their NBA season. In the Eastern Conference, the Bucks currently hold fifth position while the Bulls are sitting in 10th after their first matches. Let's get into the match prediction.

While the Bucks seemed to tackle the first quarter with some caution, it didn't take long for them to find their stride and take control en route to a 124-109 win against the 76ers in their season opener. 

Milwaukee led that game for over 35 minutes and recorded a 22-point difference at one stage, with Damian Lillard putting up 30 points and Giannis Antetokounmpo adding 25.

Having lost three of their last four pre-season matches, Milwaukee’s season opener suggests they have made the adjustments necessary to potentially lead the Central Division once again. 

The Bulls, on the other hand, left New Orleans with an opening-game loss (123-111) to the Pelicans in a match that saw them trailing for over 38 minutes.

Although Chicago had a positive pre-season spell, with three wins from their five matches, those results have not been able to transfer to the regular season that sees them 0-1 so far.

The visitors were 19-22 on the road last season and have lost five of their last six matches against their upcoming opponent.
