Command Analysis
Zalgiris Kaunas
LithuaniaCurrent form
Zalgiris is gradually moving away from the top ten of the Euroleague. The team faced a serious gaming crisis, having lost three matches in a row. In the last round, the Lithuanian club lost to Bayern Munich (82:97), before that it lost to Fenerbahce (86:98) and Panathinaikos (76:89). A series of setbacks has seriously affected the morale of the team, but Andrea Trinchieri's players are well aware that the chances of a play-in are still there.
The next meeting will be held at the home arena against the Euroleague outsider Alba. This is a great opportunity to break an unsuccessful streak and get back into the fight for the top ten.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tomas Dimsa and Dovidas Hydraitis will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last five matches, the Lithuanian club has scored only one victory.
Approximate line-up: Manek - Ulanovas, Dunston - Francisco, Walker.
Alba Berlin
GermanyCurrent form
The German club continues to disappoint its fans. The team is firmly "entrenched" in last place in the standings and is unlikely to be able to get out of the crisis. Nevertheless, in the last round, Alba unexpectedly beat Maccabi Tel Aviv (93:87), reminding of its potential. Yannick Wetzel became the main star of the match, scoring 22 points.
Despite this victory, the German team has already concentrated on the national championship, realizing that there are no more chances in the Euroleague. Ahead is the match against Zalgiris, which will be another meeting for Berliners.
Disqualifications and injuries
Justin Bean will miss the next game due to a wrist injury.
Interesting facts for betting

Approximate composition: Schneider-Delow, McCormack-Spagnolo, McDowell-White.

1.81Tip and bets
Alba is having a disastrous season. From the very beginning of the tournament, the team could not stand the competition, which led to a logical failure in the table. Despite recent setbacks, Zalgiris still has a chance to reach the top 10. To do this, the Lithuanians need to score points in matches against outsiders.
We believe that the hosts will take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses and achieve victory. Otherwise, Andrea Trinquier's players have nothing to do among the top ten teams in the Euroleague.
Our forecast is that Zalgiris will win, taking into account the handicap (-9) points in 1.71
Bet on the total
Zalgiris needs to win to stay in the play-in race. Most likely, the team will rely on an aggressive attack. Alba, despite a series of defeats, is quite active and is not afraid to play outdoor basketball. We expect a productive match and offer a bet on the total more.
Forecast - total more than 164.5 points in 1.71
Betting on statistics
The home arena and the support of the stands will help the Lithuanian club to hold a bright match. Taking into account all factors, Zalgiris must show an attacking game and break through the individual total.
