Match Predict – Handicap (-3.5) for Olympiacos
Olympiacos is having a very good season and qualify not only for the playoffs but also for home-court advantage. Zalgiris Kaunas, on the other hand, has had a disappointing season, denying them any chance of making the top eight. The Lithuanians lost 73% of their games. The Greeks won in the first round head-to-head game.
Away Side Points – Over 77.5
Olympiacos is averaging almost 78 points per game this season. Zalgiris is at the bottom of the standings with a bad defensive line.
Home Side Points – Over 72.5
Against Barcelona, Zalgiris Kaunas managed to score 91 points. I think it won’t be a problem to score 73 points against Olympiacos.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Zalgiris Kaunas vs Olympiacos
Zalgiris Kaunas:
Within two weeks, Zalgiris had beaten both Euroleague leaders’. Real Madrid (47-68) and Barcelona (84-91) were defeated in Kaunas.
The Lithuanians had a very poor start to the first quarter (9-17). It looked like another win for the Catalans. In the second quarter, the Lithuanians regained their handicap and the opponents went to the break with the score tied – 35:35.
The third quarter was led by Šarūnas Jasikevičius’ team (28-21), but in the fourth quarter, Zalgiris scored 35 and conceded 21.
In the game against Barcelona, Lukas Lekavičius scored 22 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
Despite recent strong performances, the Greens are in last place on the standings.
Olympiacos:
In the first game of the spring, Olympiacos knocked out Bayern Munich (98-88). In the next game in Berlin, it seemed that Olympiacos’ lead over Alba would be even stronger. However, in Berlin, the Greeks fell (75-90). It was the German club’s way of getting revenge for their compatriots from Bayern.
In the game against Alba Berlin, Sasha Vezenkov scored 19 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist.
Georgios Bartzokas’s team sits in fourth place.
Safe Bets
In three of the last four head-to-head encounters, the total has been odd. The odds for that outcome – 1.92.
