Neptunas - Wolves

The weakest team in the league against one of the most interesting. Gargzdai's team may have their own problems, but this season they are showing a very confident game and stability. Good play and serious basketball players make us expect great things from them, as they seem to be superior and also managed to win against Jonava in January.

Morning is not even close to its past season's level, but a sad team like Juventus must be defeated before KMT. Rytas lost to Juventus almost a month ago, but I consider it a plus for the bet. It is very difficult for teams of similar level, and especially for overall lower level teams, to do back to back defeats against the same teams. Rytas needs to prove to both themselves and us that those 5 losses were just a relaxation.

Dry morning at home Rytas lost to Utena club and now we need to hope for a different face of the Vilnius team. Everyone is realistically healthy and there must be a large focus from the morning against KMT. Utena is a weak team with many problems, which Rytas will exploit and at least win in Utena, although it may seem very good minus.

It seems like such a big deal, this total against the KMT. Some are looking towards the approaching semifinals, while others are already on vacation. Rytas emotionally charged themselves up against Neptunas, but they let chaos reign against Siauliai, which is not their usual style. The referees, facing a lot of criticism, should use their penalties wisely, which should be a lesson for them. Winning the game, the referees should maintain normal contact.

I believe that over 174.5 makes sense here, as both teams play at a high pace and have good offensive averages. In the mutual matches this season, the scores were 92:85 and 96:99 - in both cases the limit was exceeded. Moreover, the trend in recent matches is the same: in games between Juventus and Rytas, there are often around 179-183 total points, so 174.5 seems achievable even if the game slows down at times.

For tomorrow, let's feel a bit calmer for the tournament standings for second place, since the next opponents in the LKL will be Žalgiris and then Lietkabelis. Concentration must be at its maximum today, I don't believe in the Juventus coach and the whole season the team is completely unstable, unable to handle pressure from the very beginning, and just floats in some tragic form. I would see the same with Šiauliai today.
