Two solid attacking teams meet, Žalgiris 6th in terms of average points earned in the EuroLeague with 87.5, and Baskai 7th with 87.1 points per game. The match should be high scoring, as this season Žalgiris plays a offense-oriented basketball and Baskai are also capable of playing at a fast pace with high points, even away from home. A total of 170 points might be scored, and there could even be an over in this game.
The actual strength is heavily depleted and even though they have more than one serious basketball player, their team looks weak even at home. Now they are talking about going away and currently they are worse than Euroleague teams. The real strength lies in their offense, but when it comes to playing against the most productive team in the league, they are unable to keep up in offense. Hapeol looks very good and strong and they must take advantage of the Real team's fluctuations and weaknesses.
Hapoel is looking great this year, they are the leaders of the league with a record of 9-3, and only 1 loss at home for the entire season. They will be facing Real Madrid, who have been struggling this season and have not been playing well, especially when away from their home court. Their previous game against Zalgiris was not convincing and required the intervention of referees. Real has only managed 1 victory away from home this Euroleague season, so I believe it will be very difficult for them to offer any competition against the strong Hapoel team in their current state.
