Second-placed Olympiacos travel to take on ninth-placed Kaunas Zalgiris in their next match in the EuroLeague. Read on to find our prediction for this fixture.

Zalgiris have lost their last two games in Europe. After falling at home to ASVEL by six points, Andrea Trinchieri’s men were outscored 95-78 in their next fixture away to Maccabi.

The two defeats have weakened their record to 10-8, leaving them in a precarious position in the battle for a playoff spot. But as they have been at their best at home with six wins from nine, the Lithuanian giants will be confident of victory.

Zalgiris possess the best-ranked defense but are also placed last on offense.

Olympiacos won the first-leg matchup at home 74-68. This was their seventh straight success against Zalgiris. With their dominance in this fixture, the Greek giants arrive for this match as favourites to win.

Georgios Bartzokas’ men have been in great form in Europe and are currently tied for the best record in the competition. They have won 12 of their 18 fixtures and arrive in Kaunas having won their last three EuroLeague fixtures.

Olympiacos, who've won six straight matches across all competitions, earned a nervy 84-83 victory in Milan on Match Day 18.
