Zalgiris - Wolves

Tampes Kabelis in the lead, but I still hold onto the same thought that it will be 3-0 and I go with Rytas, believing that they will play at a similar level as Zalgiris did in the second half. I already mentioned before the first game that Rytas looks dominant against Kabelis with a 4-1 record in head-to-head matchups. Now, after Friday's game, that record may already be 4-1. The only loss was during Rytas' worst stretch of the season. Of course, it won't be an easy away game, but I believe that Rytas will prove their superiority in Vilnius. I also hope for a better performance from the foreigners, as apart from Cole, they were completely empty in the first game. I think Rytas will win by +8-10 points.

Although Vilnius Lietkabelis team strongly took on the East, it must be acknowledged that the Panevėžys team in this season stage is very weak with such a lineup and only successful matches allowed them to resist the East strongly. And again, with such success when the team shot so well (Slavinskas with 2 three-pointers when there was only 1 throughout the season), it would be difficult or even impossible to hope for, even with the poor defense of the East. In offense, Rytas should definitely look more stable and although we don't want to compare, I believe the game will be similar to Žalgiris in Jonava, so the negative score is possible, but even Peru seems very sweet.

Although Lietkabelis played better in the first game and gave Rytas a tough match away, Rytas should come better prepared today. Gagic's card does not work very well for Lietkabelis against Rytas. However, Lietkabelis' lineup is significantly weaker this season compared to Rytas. The series should end in January, so today I am expecting Rytas to be better prepared and for the match to not be difficult for them.

Morning, a stronger team can certainly be difficult on the road, but I think the basketball team may lack strength in offense. I don't think Rubstavicius will score 20 points, as in the first game he made 8 out of 8 free throws and 4 out of 8 3-point shots, which is unlikely to happen again.
