Prienai Skycop - Lietkabelis

The fight for 3rd place in this season's LKL is reminiscent of last season when the first 3 matches ended in away team victories, and I think we can expect the same here. As Šernius himself said, Jonava was not themselves in home games, and Lietkabelis played above their abilities with great success. Lietkabelis is a strong team, but if Jonava plays their game, it's difficult to believe that the Panevėžys team will score 100 points and win again, so I think Jonava has a chance to redeem themselves.

It is still possible to try Jonava, who played solid games against Apylyges with such a coefficient, and Lietkabelis with missed three-point shots in their away match. However, Jonava struggled with their three-point shots, as their percentage was lower in the game. It seems that there is some pressure on them after their victory over Peru on the road. Going on the road again, they are considered underdogs, so the pressure should be lifted and we can expect another tough battle.

The Jonava chances were underestimated, I think, and it didn't go well in the second match at home, but the first match makes me believe that the Jonavans can win in Panevezys, and the difference between the teams is not that big. In away matches, Jonava plays well in all knockout games, even better than at home, both in the semi-finals series and at the beginning of this one. The same argument about rotation arises against Kabelis - a short rotation can only be stretched so far, and whether it will last until the end of the series is uncertain as the games accumulate.

I have shown dominance in Jonava and I believe I will succeed today. The only problem for the Serbian is not to choose foolish mistakes that he chose in the first matches, but even with them he earned 10 points. Jonava has good tactics, a strong defensive line, but in the penalty area they have nothing to offer physically.

I won't reveal everything, everything has been mentioned bit by bit. There is definitely value in going with Jonava. Yes, the team plays well at home and fights, but the odds are very good. I hope the Jonava Legionnaires will withstand the match and it will be uneventful, something similar to the first game. Oscar Pleikio's over is also good. It looks nice in this series.

I didn't manage to reach the Jonava coefficient level, but now it's possible to get a solid handicap that is worth trying. I don't know why the line has been changed and what the reason is, but I still hold the opinion that these are weaker teams. Lietkabelis' shots in the second half have dropped and the higher handicap has appeared, but until then everything was going in a competitive distance.

According to the way the coefficients are moving today, it seems that Venskus will miss the game due to a mysterious leg injury, which was supposed to be temporary at first glance. In this case, without Majauskas and Venskus, Kreismontas would have to play a lot of minutes again. He played almost 36 minutes in Jonava, scored 10 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. This should give confidence to the player himself.
