Command Analysis

Zalgiris Kaunas

Current form
The Lithuanian club continues its pursuit of the top ten and is trying to stabilize its game. In recent matches, Andrea Trinchieri's team has looked unstable, alternating successful performances with failures. In the previous round, Zalgiris confidently dealt with Alba (73:53), demonstrating reliable defense and confident offensive actions.
However, before that, the team had a series of three defeats, which did not allow it to strengthen in the fight for a place in the playoffs. Now the Lithuanians understand that the loss of points can be critical, and in the match against Olimpija they will focus only on winning. Moreover, the game will be played at the home arena, where Zalgiris traditionally plays confidently.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tomas Dimsa and Dovidas Hydraitis will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
In all the last five face-to-face matches, Zalgiris celebrated the victory.
Approximate composition: Brazdeikis - Ulanovas, Birutis - Francisco, Butkevicius.

AX Armani Exchange Milano

Current form
The Italian club still holds the tenth place in the standings, but the competition in the Euroleague is so high that any mistake can cost the team a place in the play-in. In the last round, Olimpia lost to Bayern Munich (70:87), having failed to impose the fight on the opponent. The best player in Milan was Zach Leday, who scored 17 points, but his efforts were not enough.
Luka Banki's team is still unable to find stability and find a balance between attack and defense. Olimpia often has problems in away matches, and the upcoming match in Kaunas will definitely not be an easy test for her.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fabien Coser, Nikola Mirotic and Joshua Nebo will not play on the floor due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
Olympia has won five away games in the current Euroleague draw.
Approximate composition: LaDay- Shields, Gillespie-Mannion, Bolmaro.

Both teams are in desperate need of points, so it's going to be an intense match. Zalgiris will enjoy the support of its fans, and for the club from Kaunas, the home arena always plays an important role. The Lithuanians are good at defending, and their offense is gaining momentum.
Olimpia is unstable, especially in away matches, and the team risks losing its position in the top 10. We assume that the hosts will take advantage of the opponent's problems and achieve victory.
Our forecast is that Zalgiris will win, taking into account the handicap (-2.5) points in 1.71
Bet on the total
Zalgiris traditionally plays hard, especially in home games, not allowing their opponents to score many points. Olimpija has been experiencing difficulties in attack lately, which is only confirmed by their latest results. We believe that the match will take place at a moderate pace, and the overall total will not be broken.
Forecast - total less than 162.5 points for 1.69
Betting on statistics
The Italian club is experiencing serious problems in guest meetings. The team often loses concentration, and the opponents take advantage of this by imposing a comfortable pace of play. "Zalgiris" knows how to act tough in defense, and, most likely, the Milanese will again face difficulties with scoring points. We assume that the guests will not be able to break through their individual total.
Prediction – Olimpia Milan's individual total is less than 78.5 points for 1.90
