Barcelona - Real Madrid

The seat is already warm, but there are still good chances for a performance. Milan has a good team this year, they just lack a bit of playing rhythm, but with additions like Guduric and Booker, they will certainly play better. Shields still needs to work on his driving. I think Efes will be a disappointment this season, as things are not going well for Kokoshkov here and there are also problems in the front line. Osmani should play over 30 minutes, but even he is not a true center. It all falls on the guards, who are very inconsistent, while Milan can pressure and throw them off their rhythm. The arena is half-empty, so the home advantage is almost non-existent. It will be a challenge for Efes to take a win here.

Efes is not a defensive team. I think they will have a very tough time in this game. The team lacks height, although Osmani is a fast player and a threat on offense. All of Milan's injured players have returned except for Lorenzo, but the most important thing is that they are strong under the basket. Leday, Nebo, and Booker will easily break through Efes' weak defense and chances for defending will be slim. It will be difficult for Efes to grab rebounds, and Milan will probably have more second-chance opportunities. Currently, Cordinier and Loyd are Game Time Decisions, and without them, Efes will have a tough time. Milan has a team full of offensive talent this year and can confidently play an offensive game. Messina promotes a slow style of play, but against a 0 defense, I believe they will also score points with a good shooting percentage and second-chance opportunities.

Although Valencia is known for playing basketball, the game of Žalgiris starts with defense. They have scored many points due to their impressive accuracy, but I believe that something may go wrong either for one team or the other. The total score is very high and it is a rare occurrence in Žalgiris matches. I suspect that there may be a drop in the days leading up to the match, but there is still time to take advantage.

Before morning, Zalgiris did not look good, but I will still try to go for Zalgiris this time, both Valencia and Zalgiris have a good chance, so I am purely supporting the home team. And Valencia's lineup does not look very impressive compared to Zalgiris, with the decreased rotation in Zalgiris due to Francisco's departure, one can hope for the same in this match until Goose, Brazdeikis, and others fully recover after their child's birth. They had a good chance this morning, so the extension of this chance against Valencia is highly likely.

Jaime has not been shining as much as he could lately, but he is a universal and athletic player who is good at climbing on the board and under the opponents' basket. He can also make long shots and when he is facing Oak, I don't think it's too difficult for him to score. Although he doesn't make many throws, I believe it should be the coach's task to attack when Oak is on the court, and I think there are good chances to reach a 10-point limit. Even though Valencia can be annoying with their minute distribution, which increases the risk, even if the player is good, they often rotate the minutes evenly, which affects the overall picture. However, I still believe that the coach will allow Jaime to play over Oak, who is struggling on defense.

Hello.
Euroleague. Zalgiris against Valencia. Let's go Kaunas teams, at least 3 points difference. Zalgiris is in great form now, especially at home. Last week, they defeated both opponents at home, and before that they devoured Barca away. Valencia is currently a better team than all three, but they don't look as good away as they do at home. Plus, the team is completely focused on offense and has a tough defense. Zalgiris has a strong defense and I think it will be very difficult for Valencia. There are things that can stop their rampage, but Zalgiris has weapons as well, because the Spanish club mostly relies on talented defenders and there aren't many tall players there. If Wright is as good as they say, he should be the factor here. The handicap is small and if they win, I think I will take it. Good luck.

Hello.
Euroleague. Zalgiris against Valencia. We're moving with Lo 8.5 points over.
Valencia is a fast-paced team and completely lacks defense, everything for them is decided by offense. That's why I think Zalgiris will have many options to gather points. Francisco had an amazing week before, but it would be naive to expect him to maintain that form all the time. As long as main defenders Goss and Cisco are not back, Lo remains an important player. The opponent is capable of imposing points (just like Barca did without a defense), and his role should not be underestimated. I believe he will create his own shots and even without ASVEL, it was difficult for our own fans to cheer. Let's try a small handicap. Good luck.
