1.77Tip and bets
This time Real will have a comfortable opponent, so the Spaniards are obliged to break their losing streak. They will not have a better opportunity. However, we do not believe in an easy walk for the Spaniards, because the Lithuanians are demonstrating a good game. It is quite possible that the guests will give the crisis-ridden Madrid a fight.
Our prediction is "Zalgiris" with a handicap of (+7.5) points for 1.75

Bet on statistics
In 2 of the last 3 Euroleague games, the Spaniards have not scored more than 78 points. Considering the Lithuanians' style of play, we doubt that they will perform better.
