Techasas - Siauliai

Zalgiris has no problems when Lietkabelis has a lot of problems. They don't have a captain, Kalaitzakis refused and the team rotation has become significantly worse. The team's abilities are also shown by Nevezis's dominance over them in the last 5 Lietkabelis matches, where they were defeated twice by the Kedainiai club. They also barely won against Neptunas at home. Such results give little hope against the Zalgiris team, as they are not in Euroleague and are fully prepared for the LKL battle. After Euroleague, Zalgiris has been winning confidently by double digits and Kaunas's results are stable, so Lietkabelis has no advantage at home and will most likely lose with a proper margin.

Before facing Lietkabelis, Zalgiris should already show a better defense, as the differences between the teams are not as big as they were against their last opponents. Also, Lietkabelis does not have many options in offense, so trying to outpace Zalgiris would be pointless. Zalgiris seems to be fully focused on the upcoming LKL battles, and even activating a bit of Euroleague-level defense should be enough to hold the 1st period total.
