Are the Lithuanians ready to surprise the Spanish crew?
This evening Real Madrid welcomes Zalgiris Kaunas in the capital of Spain to play the 9th round duel in the best European basketball league. These teams are in quite a different form at the moment, so the hosting squad will be the obvious favorites to win the match.
Real Madrid after 8 rounds, managed to win 6 duels and lost 2, placing themselves in 4th place in the league. After losing the game to Unics Kazan (65:58), the Madridians bounced back in the last game against Bayern. They won the first quarter with a score of 20:18, then Bayern played way better and won the second quarter with a score of 26:17. But in the second half Real Madrid showed their real quality. They dominated the third quarter ending up with a score of 30:19. So the last quarter was tied in scoring, 13:13, so the final result of the match was 80:76 in favor of the Spanish team. So tonight Pablo Laso will bring another aggressive approach and go for the win at WiZink Center.
Zalgiris Kaunas on the other hand has the worst score in the league. They are placed at the bottom of the table with 0 wins and 8 losses. This puts huge pressure on their new head coach Jure Zdovc that he must win tonight’s game and place his squad in a promising course for the rest of the season. So definitely Zalgiris Kaunas must bring the best of their basketball capabilities in order to win the game against the great team from Madrid tonight.
We are expecting a big basketball fight, where the favorite to win the game will be the hosting crew, Real Madrid Baloncesto.
So tune in tonight and enjoy this EuroLeague match, and find out if Zalgiris will be able to surprise the favorite Real Madrid.
