Zalgiris vs Olympiacos Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the Euroleague match which will take place on March 1. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Lithuanians won three games before the breakaway against Zvezda, which is not easy, and at home against Panathinaikos and Efes. They've won four in a row on their home court - add Fenerbahce and Alba.

Despite the apparent success of Trinchieri's team, bookmakers consider Olympiakos the favorites for this match.

The Greeks came to Lithuania with a noticeably weakened squad. In addition to Milutinov, Kaunas will be without Larentzakis, Williams-Goss, and Mitrou-Long. All of them, except the latter, are solid rotation players who have been getting significant minutes and playing an important role.

In this case, it was the absence of Williams-Goss that caught our attention. Thomas Walkup looks like he'll have to play more than usual, and when the American Greek is on the floor for 30 minutes or more, he scores noticeably more than his average eight points.

So, unlike the bookies, we don't consider the Greek team the favorite for this match. Besides, we think that Thomas Walkup, who played three seasons at the Zalgirio Arena, will not lose face in front of his hometown crowd.
