Command Analysis
Zalgiris Kaunas
LithuaniaCurrent form
The Lithuanian club is not yet at the level of the Euroleague's top ten, but there is still a chance to wedge into the fight. This season, Andrea Trinchieri's team demonstrated good results at the start, but then began a decline that dragged on.
At the moment, Zalgiris has lost three games in a row, two of them on their home court. The team lost to ASVEL (72:78), Maccabi Tel Aviv (78:95) and Olympiacos (85:92). In these games, it was noticeable that the team had serious problems with defense, and the attacking leaders cannot consistently realize their moments.
An important match against Real is coming up, where the hosts will try to break their losing streak and regain their confidence. However, given the form of their opponents, it will not be easy for Zalgiris to score points.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team approaches the meeting without losses.
Interesting facts for betting
The Lithuanian club has six wins in the current Euroleague.

Real Madrid
SpainCurrent form
The Spanish giants are in tenth place in the Euroleague standings, although this result is unlikely to please the fans and coaching staff. However, in the last rounds, Mateo Chus' team has significantly improved its performance.
Real Madrid won four victories in a row, confidently beating Paris (96:85), Monaco (94:72), Alba (80:69) and Bayern (88:76). In these games, the Spaniards demonstrated a powerful attacking game, using every chance to score. Such leaders as Djanan Musa and Facundo Campazzo played an important role in these successes, providing the team with the necessary dynamics and efficiency.
Ahead is a trip to Kaunas, where Real will face an unstable Zalgiris. The Spaniards are full of motivation to continue their winning streak and move up the standings.
