Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroLeague match.
This match is perhaps the most intriguing of the eighth EuroLeague round. Žalgiris Kaunas, one of the best defensive teams, face off against Bayern Munich, the top offensive side. Let's see who will emerge stronger.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich have secured five wins in their first seven matches. This excellent result was achieved largely thanks to their outstanding offensive play. They average 88.3 points per game. However, it is worth noting that among their truly strong opponents, only Panathinaikos put up a fight, with the Germans suffering a heavy defeat (79:94), allowing a 52.8% field goal percentage.
Žalgiris Kaunas
The Lithuanians, in contrast, play pragmatically and try to impose their slower tempo on opponents. This tactic works well, as Žalgiris Kaunas have suffered only one loss. Meanwhile, they already faced renowned opponents—Crvena Zvezda (86:84) and Barcelona (74:67)—and emerged victorious each time.
Bayern Munich vs Žalgiris Kaunas Prediction
Bookmakers favour the hosts in this clash, but we think differently. When two opposing styles meet, the players' experience comes to the forefront, which is clearly on the side of the visitors. Therefore, we are willing to take a risk and back a victory for Žalgiris Kaunas.
