Zalgiris vs Baskonia Prediction: the Visitors Struggle From the Very Beginning

Prediction for the Euroleague match between Zalgiris vs Baskonia, which will take place on November 28th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Lithuanians have lost only one game out of six on their home court. On average, they score only 75 points per game at home, but we've already made the mistake of taking their total under twice. Just last week, they scored 84 points, facing Panathinaikos, who hadn't conceded more than 77 in three consecutive games before traveling to Kaunas.

It looks like Lonnie Walker, who earned 24 points for the Greeks, has already made a solid start for the hosts. Bookmakers are offering to consider a Zalgiris total over 80.5. This is quite possible, but let's look at the Lithuanian opponent's defense first.

Pablo Laso's men have failed all of their away games in the Euroleague. They've conceded an average of 81 on the road. They started to miss even more in November, getting in their net 91 points in Barcelona and 92 in Piraeus. So we wouldn't be surprised if the visitors conceded 81 from Zalgiris since the latter's lineup is more efficient. By the way, the Lithuanians didn't score less than 94 points against the Basques last season, and the previous five matches between these teams ended with at least 154 points.

Zalgiris is improving offensively, while Baskonia plays poorly on the road. They concede a lot and do it from the very start. They lost all their first quarters on the road, and their opponent's handicap (-1.5) worked in all five of them.
