Real Madrid will seek to keep scaling up the EuroLeague standings when they travel to play Zalgiris next. Los Blancos currently sit in eighth place in the table whereas their hosts are behind in 11th. Below is our prediction for this match.

Zalgiris are seeking to end a three-match losing run in Europe. This barren spell has seen them drop out of the playoff places. Andrea Trinchieri’s men, who at some point sat top of the standings, have compiled a 10-9 record.

The Lithuanian champions have lost twice at home, against ASVEL and Olympiacos in this three-match skid. Olympiacos handed them a 92-85 defeat in the previous round. Zalgiris defeated Madrid 92-83 in the reverse match a month ago.

Real Madrid are witnessing an upturn in fortunes and will arrive here fully confident of extinguishing Zalgiris’ hopes of a league double.

The Spanish heavyweights have won their last four fixtures in Europe and one of three matches unbeaten in the same period.

Chus Mateo’s men, who’ve clawed their way into the top 10, have won the same number of games as Zalgiris and three other teams.

Los Blancos have defeated playoff rivals Paris, Monaco and Bayern in this purple patch averaging over 90 points. Against Bayern, they secured an 88-76 victory.
