As part of one of the Euroleague basketball matches, Maccabi and Zalgiris players will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this meeting? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Maccabi Tel Aviv
Maccabi basketball players were able to enter the TOP 8 Euroleague teams after a long time. After 5 matches played, the team has 3 wins, but there are also 2 defeats. At the end of last week, the Israeli team was able to defeat the Greek Panathinaikos with a small difference - 77:73. The Athenian team caught up with its opponent throughout the match, but gave out a powerful final segment, which, however, did not help him win. The Greens only narrowed the gap and lost.
"Zalgiris"
In the current season of the Euroleague there is no sole leader, but there is an unconditional outsider. By the sixth round, only Zalgiris has no victories in the asset. Apparently, this season the "greens" will become like the "Khimki" of last season. A couple of days ago, the Lithuanians played against Bayern, but lost to the opponent with a minimum difference of 2 points (73:75). As for the matches with Maccabi, last season both matches ended in favor of the Israeli team, which smashed the opponent on its floor (85:57) and modestly defeated him in Kaunas (88:81).
Statistics and figures:
- The hosts are listed as clear favorites of the meeting;
- Maccabi has 2 wins in 5 meetings;
- "Zalgiris" managed to win twice in 5 games;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 88:81 in favor of the Israelis;
- Zalgiris won three times in 5 meetings against Maccabi.
Forecast
"Zalgiris" in this match does not shine anything, because the visiting team simply was not ready for the season. In this regard, I propose to bet on the victory of the hosts with a solid handicap of 7.5 points, considering them the favorites of the duel.
