Bourg-en-Bresse has a better selection of players. The Lithuanians are unlikely to be able to stop the French. They have looked unconvincing in recent matches, so we doubt their abilities.
It cannot be said that Lietkabelis has a good offensive line. In its last two home games, the Lithuanians have scored no more than 76 points. With that kind of play, it’s hard to expect the encounter with Bourg-en-Bresse to be a high-scoring one. The French are good defensively, so they can easily stop the Lithuanian team.
The Lithuanians have scored no more than 78 points in 3 of their last 5 games.
In 3 of Lietkabelis’ last 5 matches, under 39.5 points have been scored in the first quarter.
Lietkabelis is one of the main outsiders in Group A, but they have a chance of continuing their fight. The Lithuanians currently have four wins under their belt. The same number of wins also belongs to Cluj-Napoca, who occupy the eighth place, but the Romanians have better additional indicators.
It’s worth noting that Lietkabelis has not won in the Eurocup for a long time. The last time Nenad Canak’s side did so was in early December when they defeated Brescia at home.
In the last EuroCup match, Lietkabelis lost to Ratiopharm Ulm (78-69). In that match, Jamel Morris scored 16 points and 1 assist.
Lietkabelis is averaging 84.3 points in its last 20 games.
Bourg-en-Bresse continues to hold on to first place in their group. Frédéric Faouthoux’s side has won 8 of its 11 matches. The French team won 50% of its games on home soil.
It should be noted that Bourg-en-Bresse had no problems in their recent games. The Frenchmen overcame U-Banca Transilvania (89-77) and Reyer Venezia (86-79). Dislodging them from the first place would be very problematic.
In the game against Reyer Venezia, Jorda Floyd scored 24 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.
In Burg’s last 20 games, the average total is 168.3 points.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
BC Lietkabelis: Kristian Kullamäe – Jamel Morris – Paulius Murauskas – Benas Griciūnas – György Golomán.
Bourg-en-Bresse: Axel Julien – Frantz Massenat – James Palmer Jr. – Isiaha Mike – Amida Brimah.
The fixture will be played at Cido Arena (5.950) in Panevėžys, Lithuania.
This starting whistle will sound on the 25th of January, 2023, at 17:00 UK Time.
