Zalgiris Kaunas vs
Barcelona

After making a 5-1 Euroleague start, Zalgiris is starting to fall apart. The Lithuanian champions have now lost 6 in a row as their game ir being read out at the moment. Head coach Schiller is failing to fill Jasikevicius' shoes as expected, and Zalgiris is going to have really tough times. Meanwhile, Barca are riding the crest of a wave and are winning games for fun. They are better than Zalgiris on the both ends of the court, they are richer, smarter, more talented, better organised, better coached. I'd say Zalgiris have no chances to see sun rays in this game, besides, Barca is being coached by Jasikevicius, Maskoliunas, and Masiulis, all of whom joined the Catalan superclub in the summer after leaving the Zalgiris camp. They know Zalgiris from the roots to the tops, the players, and due to the virus the local side won't be able o count on their fans, who would be a good source of inspiration. Because of it, I can only see Barcelona dominating the game from the tip-off till the final whistle.
