Fenerbahce vs Zalgiris Kaunas Predictions


Even though they had some hiccups lately, Fenerbahce are a serious playoff contender and one of the best hosts in the Euroleague. I expect them to beat Zalgiris in a -7.5 handicap.

Fenerbahce Form


Fenerbahce are labelled as a big favorite to win this match, currently being ahead by eight points in the spread line.

The Turkish side sit in high 5th place ahead of this encounter with a record of 17 victories and 12 defeats. The current win rate at home is 66% (W10 – L5).

Dimitrios Itoudis’ side is looking to bounce back after losing two straight games against Milano (75-82) and Valencia (82-80).

They won three of the last four matches at home against Barcelona (81-73), Virtus Bologna (104-72), and Alba Berlin (101-86).

Fenerbahce Team News


Dyshawn Pierre is going to miss this match due to an injury, while James Birsen is doubtful.

Zalgiris Kaunas Form


Games on the road have been the biggest issue for Zalgiris Kaunas in the last couple of years. They are performing much worse away from home, winning only five of 15 encounters in the Euroleague.

The Greens and Whites are still active in the playoffs race, sitting in 9th place with a 15-14 record with five matches to go.

Two-game winning streak against Alba Berlin and Lyon-Villeurbanne was interrupted last week with a narrow home loss to table leaders Olympiakos.

Zalgiris Kaunas Team News


Keenan Evans is still out, while Isaiah Taylor might get some time on the floor after dealing with a muscle injury.

Verdict

Zalgiris Kaunas were defeated in their last two visits to this venue. The Lithuanian side rarely wins against top-tier teams on the road. Their last big away test was against Barcelona, losing 74-93.
