Wolves - Neptunas

The final match, in which there will be a lot of intrigue in my opinion.

Siauliai will continue to feel pressure from both the government and the audience, and their legion may not understand why everyone is supporting Neptunas in their home arena, etc. Of course, Siauliai has something to prove in order to earn a "name" and finally make it to the semifinals on their third attempt. They have capable players to do so and I agree that they are the favorites, but not to the extent that bookmakers suggest in my opinion.

Firstly, Neptunas definitely has more experienced players, which gives them a certain advantage. Secondly, the audience, I have heard, that even the simple morning fans will come to support Neptunas, so all the pressure is on Siauliai and Neptunas knows this well, knowing that they are weaker on paper and theoretically have nothing to lose. But in sports, with crucial matches like this, not everyone can handle the pressure in the most important moment. The downside is that they will be without Žygis, no matter what type of player he is, it is definitely a big loss for Neptunas in terms of experience and other nuances.

Secondly, the coaching experience is on Neptunas' side and I like that overall, it seems that the Greek coach has charisma and I truly believe that motivation is not needed for such matches. To sum up, I do not expect a blowout in the final match, as the bookmakers suggest, and all the pressure should be on Siauliai, which I believe will result in a small margin between these teams in my opinion.
