ZAL vs VAL Dream11 Match Prediction

ZAL vs VAL Dream11: Two teams struggling for consistency will look for an elusive win when Zalgiris Kaunas and Valencia Basket met each other in round-13 of EuroLeague 2019-20 season at Žalgiris arena.

EuroLeague form:

After opening the season impressively, Zalgiris are going South and down with each passing week. They suffered their 9th defeat in 12 EuroLeague games this season as they went down 85-82 to CSKA Moscow in the last round. Nothing unexpected here as Moscow are the reigning champions and most teams would come short against them. But Zalgiris can certainly do better, and they should target a win here as the opponent is also short on form and confidence.

Valencia Basket are also on the wrong side of the table as they sit 14th and come into this game looking to avoid a hat-trick of defeats. The Spanish outfit has four wins and 8 defeats from 12 games in Europe.

Head-to-head:

Valencia Basket lead the overall head-to-head record against Zalgiris Kaunas, but the Lithuanian team won the last two encounters against Valencia.
