ZAL vs BAR Dream11 Match Prediction
ZAL vs BAR Dream11: Zalgiris Kaunas entertain Barcelona in the round-seven of EuroLeague at Zalgiris Arena. The host will look to build on the 76-79 win over Fenerbahce in the last round while Barcelona come into this game on the back of their first defeat of the season.
The win over Fenerbahce was Zalgiris’ first win on the road, but they had to dig after trailing by seven points going into the break. But thanks to Zach LeDay (16 points and 13.2 ppg.) and Marius Grigonis’ (19 points and 12.7 ppg.) efforts, Zalgiris recorded an impressive win on the road.
Meanwhile, Barcelona will look to bounce back with a win here following an 83-70 defeat to the in-form Olimpia Milano on the road. It was the first defeat for Barcelona in this season’s competition, and they can still move to the top of the table with a win over Zalgiris.
Captain options and the players who could make a difference!
Zach LeDay: He is the leading scorer for Zalgiris this season and is averaging in the double-digits. He scored 16 points in the last game.
Marius Grigonis: The 25-year-old is very much the most in-form player for Zalgiris this season. He has scored in double figures in six consecutive games. His conversion rate from beyond the arc is also very impressive.
Barcelona: The visitors will be relying on the consistency of Nikola Mirotic who come into this match in red-hot form, scoring in double figures in each of his last nine EuroLeague games.
Cory Higgins and Alex Abriens are worth considering, for the duo has made a significant contribution in the team’s cause.
Head-to-head!
This will be the 30th meeting between these two teams. Barcelona have 10 wins in the last 12 games but Zalgiris can take heart from their recent showings against Barcelona as they won the last encounters against the Spanish outfit.
