We have reached the 30th game of the euroleague with the matches now gaining additional interest as several teams are looking to steal a place in the top 8 which at the moment seems a bit difficult to break. In one of them, Fener welcomes Zalgiris.
We saw Fener two months ago in "La Fonteta" as she was a shadow of herself. Guduric's absence was more than noticeable with the team seeming to not know what to do on the floor. Result of only 52 points that it is impossible with such an aggressive harvest to have aspirations for victory. Veseli, De Colo and Pierre were rescued from the wreck with the rest having a simple reference to the match sheet. The aforementioned is expected to fight today with the hopes for a victory over Zalgiris multiplied while Mahmutoglou and Perez will not be present.
On the other hand, Zalgiris in the same trip that made the previous match against Efes lost very easily with 89-62. The interest of the match had ended from the first 10 minutes where the nuclear-powered Efes had secured a difference of 14 points (26-12) and as time passed the difference became even bigger. Now is probably her last chance as if she loses even today things can hardly be overturned. Grigonis was once again one of the best in the team and was followed by Wopak and Rubit. The experienced Milankis is absent for another match, while the participation of the pro-valuable Lovern will be judged at the last minute.
summarizing I do not think that Fener will miss the opportunity and win the match against an opponent who has lost the form and consistency he had a while ago.. Along with Under as I believe due to the criticality of the match the score will not go up.
The point I choose is ... Lanterns (-5.5 & Under 161.5 pts) in performance 2.73 at stoiximan.
