Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Barcelona vs Zalgiris

Barcelona

In the regular season, Barcelona was one of the best teams in the Euroleague. The Catalans won 23 out of 34 matches, which allowed them to finish in second place. Sarunas Jasikevicius' wards won most of the victories at home, where they suffered only four defeats. It looks like they will have some advantage at home.

With "Zalgiris" "Barcelona" crossed paths twice. At home, the Catalans defeated the Lithuanians with a score of 94:73, but lost on the road 72:73.

Zalgiris

Before the start of the regular season, few experts took Zalgiris seriously. The Lithuanians were considered one of the outsiders and little was believed in their advancement in the playoffs.

However, Maksvytis' wards managed to surprise. They looked quite stable throughout the season. Žalgiris was especially successful on the floor of Žalgirio Arena, where they won 13 out of 17 matches.

Game Totals Prediction

In the regular season, Zalgiris lost away to Barcelona by 21 points. The away game continues to be the weak side of the Lithuanians. They never managed to improve their performance in away matches, so we doubt that Maksvytis' wards will resist the favorite.

Our prediction is Barcelona with a handicap of (-10) points for odds of 1.74 in Mostbet.

Very often, Zalgiris uses a defensive game model, and Barcelona have excellent defense. In 4 of the last 5 home matches, the Catalans have not conceded more than 79 points. Given this, we believe that the meeting will turn out to be grassroots.

The second prediction is the total under 155.5 points for 1.69.
