BC Lietkabelis Panevezys - BC Juventus Utena

Juventus yesterday stood up from the grave, but Jonava once again struck them with a pitchfork to the head. I don't think they can quickly recover and prepare for Rytas and Žibėnas, who will now look for a big victory to make everyone forget Neptūnas' story.

Rytas may not play very well, but facing an opponent like Juventus and playing at home gives hope for another good game from the Vilnius team. Rytas already had a significant double-digit lead against Neptūnas away, which they unfortunately lost, so it is not worth expecting such a scenario for a second time, especially considering their ambitions were crushed and Žibėnas was very angry, so some sort of reaction is expected in the next game. About Juventus, there is nothing good to say. They are a very weak team with tragic coaches and only a few decent players. Their roster is very lopsided, they cannot find any 3-point shots, and even Siauliai won by 18 points in their last home game against Juventus, while Nevėžis also recently won by 31 points. Rytas was supposed to be a good and strong team, making it to the final 4 of the championship, so it all depends on their mindset. But after such a tragic loss at home, Rytas must take Juventus seriously, as they are a worthy opponent.

Juventus by no means excels in good defense, but Rytas even more so. The only thing I see here is the over games of Rytas, because their team strategy remains the same, so the total over will look very good. I believe they can score around 100 points, trying to properly integrate PJC (player who is not named). They are very strong in disrupting the opposing team's defense, as they go through it more aggressively than a needle through fabric. I won't go into much detail, but I think Juventus can also dominate and in order to win, they will need to score over points.
