Crvena Zvezda - Zalgiris

Hello.
Euroleague. Zvezda against Žalgiris. We are going with the Kaunas team to Peru.
Zvezda doesn't look very convincing to me yet, and neither does Peru against Fener. They lost to Milan and Bayern in the first two rounds, where the team seemed completely unprepared. After the coach was fired, it seems that the players were motivated and showed some movement against Fener, but I don't believe in the long-term success of this team. In addition, on top of all the injuries in the defense, one more was added - Tyson Carter. He is an important player and played a lot for the team, but now there are doubts about his game for Tuesday. If Obradovic sits in the driver's seat, it could be a boost for the new coach, but I do not believe in this team with good players overall. The only advantages I see for Zvezda are the home court and the boost from the new coach.
Žalgiris, on the other hand, is in amazing form. In the first double week, they defeated the Euroleague champions and vice-champions, and in the last round they scored 28 points against Bayern in an away game. It doesn't seem like Žalgiris is still at the beginning of the season, as the team on the court plays like a well-coordinated unit. Everything seems to be working according to plan, and they use handicaps and short bursts of play brilliantly, even with specific players. Even on a bad day, one of the leaders will step up (after all, this season we chose over 1 in the study). On top of all that, they will be playing against perhaps the most disliked team at the moment - Zvezda. We will see those Russian flags and unpleasant chants, which I believe will only motivate the players and coaches (especially Lithuania).
This is all shaping up to be a very interesting game, and let's hope that the boost from the new coach doesn't work this time. However, Žalgiris, in such good form, is definitely worth taking with a +2 handicap. Good luck.
