Seventh-placed Kaunas Zalgiris will this week welcome fourth-placed Panathinaikos on matchday 18 of the EuroLeague. Only one win separates the two in the standings, with Panathinaikos in fourth having the advantage over their seventh-placed visitors. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Kaunas Zalgiris got back to winning ways in Europe in the previous round with a dominant home win over Partizan. The Lithuanian giants flexed their defensive prowess as they won 109-68 to improve to 10-7.
With another dominant over 40-point blowout victory over the weekend in domestic action, they will be confident of a win here. Masiulis Tomas’ men are allowing the second fewest points per game at 81.5 points.
Panathinaikos are coming into this tie with a better recent run of form than their hosts. They have lost just one of the last six games and are on a four-match winning streak.
The Greens, who were victorious over the weekend domestically, have produced statement wins recently in Europe. Ergin Ataman’s men have seen off Fenerbahce and Hapoel in the last two rounds.
They defeated in-form Fener on the road 81-77 and then followed up with a 93-82 victory at home against the current league leaders. Panathinaikos, who’ve won four of the last six meetings with Zalgiris, will be without the injured Kostas Sloukas.

Our BC Zalgiris Kaunas vs Panathinaikos Prediction
Our prediction for Kaunas Zalgiris v Panathinaikos is that BC Zalgiris Kaunas wins. Zalgiris and Panathinaikos have both been in strong form recently and have very little separating them in Europe so far this term.
This is, therefore, going to be a tough battle that can swing either way. We, however, fancy Zalgiris to win, as they have a strong home record, whereas Panathinaikos have suffered most of their setbacks on the road. The visitors are also missing one of their main offensive pieces in Kostas Sloukas.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
