Virtus vs Zalgiris Prediction: Choosing the TU Option for Good Defense

Prediction for the Euroleague match between Virtus vs Zalgiris, which will take place on Octobre 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Bolognese team has had a rough start, with two losses already. Cordinier and Pajola are trying their best, but Shengelia and Clyburn hold them back. They're playing a lot but not playing well. Even so, the bookies have Virtus as the favorite. Still, there's a lot of controversy around this.

The Lithuanians performed well last week despite losing, especially in the first quarter, 6–21. They were catching up the rest of the game, winning three quarters in a row, and Andrea Trinchieri was the best at that. The team would be worth much more if he had a slightly stronger squad. One way or another, Zalgiris let Barcelona score 67 points in the first two rounds, while Olympiacos scored 74. As a result, the bookmakers don't think Virtus will do well. We don't think so, either. It's a good idea to bet on the home team to score less than 78.5. Recall that Virtus has only gained 67 points against Efes. There's another reason to think Virtus might not be as strong as they seem – they haven't beaten the Lithuanians in five games in a row. The Italians failed two of those games at home to Zalgiris.

The bookies are predicting a low-scoring game. We are persuaded to agree with them – Trinchieri has really taught his team how to defend. And it's the same as with Bayern, which rarely reached the total over under him.
