Zalgiris

In the exciting match of the 23rd round of the Euroleague, the French team ASVEL will face the Lithuanian club Žalgiris at their home. The current situation for ASVEL is not encouraging, since they have been left out of the fight for the playoffs and are competing without ambitions in the tournament. On the other hand, Žalgiris are in an intense battle for a play-in spot and badly need a win. Could ASVEL make life difficult for visitors? Next, we analyze the keys to the meeting.

Team analysis

ASVEL France

Currently, ASVEL is going through a difficult time. In their last five Euroleague games, they achieved only two victories, but suffered three consecutive defeats against Real Madrid (80-69), Baskonia (78-73) and Hapoel Tel Aviv (81-73). The departure of their veteran Nando De Colo to Fenerbahçe has left a void in the team, affecting their ability to compete at a high level.

In this sense, it is important to mention that ASVEL has shown a lack of motivation in the Euroleague, focusing more on the national competition. The upcoming match against Žalgiris represents an opportunity to regain some pride, but the pressure will be on the away team as they look to advance up the table.

Zalgiris Lithuania

For its part, Žalgiris is fighting hard for a playoff spot. After a tight defeat against Maccabi Tel Aviv (97-100), the team is in ninth position and needs to score points. Their star, Sylvain Francisco, scored 22 points in the last game, but it was not enough.

Žalgiris has shown to have a good percentage of success in three-point shots, which has allowed them to stay in the fight. Motivation will be key in this match, since they know that every victory counts if they want to reach the playoffs goal.

Interesting data for betting

• ASVEL has failed to win in its last three Euroleague games.
