Zalgiris vs Bayern Munich Preview


Kaunas will be the stage for a key matchup between two teams battling for a spot in the top 10.


Can Zalgiris secure the vital win, or will Bayern continue their road success in the Euroleague?


Zalgiris Form & Team News


With 11 wins and 12 losses, Žalgiris currently sit in 13th place in the Euroleague standings.


Despite a recent losing streak over the past month, which has dimmed their chances for a play-in spot, there’s no doubt that the Lithuanian powerhouses will continue fighting as long as there’s a mathematical chance for advancement.


What stands out is the stark contrast in their performance: Zalgiris are the best teams in the league in first halves but the worst in second halves. This inconsistency in their game has been a major issue, one that coach Trinchieri hasn’t been able to resolve.


It was evident in their most recent game against defending champions Panathinaikos. After a fantastic first half and a 20-point lead, it seemed they might pull off a big surprise. However, they collapsed in the final quarter, losing 29-6 and failing to score a single field goal (0/16 FG).


Bayern Munich Form & Team News


Against most expectations, Bayern have managed to remain in the upper part of the Euroleague standings.


With a record of 13 wins and 10 losses, they currently occupy 9th place, which guarantees a play-in spot.


In the last round, they easily defeated Alba Berlin 99-84 in the German derby. After a lengthy absence due to injury, captain and veteran player Vladimir Lucic made his return, bringing the team a much-needed boost of confidence, as he is both a great player and a fighter.


As usual, the most efficient player for Bayern was one of the top scorers of the competition, Carsen Edwards, who set a new season-high with 34 points, along with 6 assists and 6 rebounds.


After this game, Bayern have two consecutive home matches, so a victory over Zalgiris would be a huge step towards achieving their goal of securing a spot in the top 10 of the Euroleague.


Head to Head


These two clubs have had a series of tense matchups in recent seasons, often decided by just a single possession. The first meeting between them this season was no different, with Bayern edging out a 77-74 victory.

Verdict

The encounters between these two teams have become known for their intense rivalry, high stakes, and thrilling finishes often decided in the final minute. 

It’s looking likely that this will be another tight contest, with Bayern Munich expected to cover the spread.
