Red Star Belgrade vs Zalgiris Prediction: the Visitors Will Fight But Not for Long

Prediction for the Euroleague game between Red Star Belgrade vs Zalgiris, which will take place on February 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Serbs have lost five home games. They have hosted four Spanish teams in the last two months and have only beaten Valencia. On their arena, Belgrade scored an average of 81 points per game while conceding about 76. In 2024, they failed to earn 81.5 points at home only once in four games. Bookmakers believe the Star will be more efficient in this match than the other way around. 

The Lithuanians won five and failed three games under the new coach, but there are some nuances: Zalgiris won four at home, where they stopped losing altogether. On the road, the team has only one victory in four matches and couldn't gain more than 79 points thrice. Twice, however, they didn't allow the opponents to score 81.5 points. Another peculiarity: Zalgiris has lost four 2nd halves in the road games. They also failed the only match they won after the big break. As for the meeting in the first round, it was a duel between Maxvitis and Ivanovic. Neither of them is on the team anymore, so things will probably be different than in October.

The situation is such that each of them needs a win - tenth Maccabi is only a few points away. We won't see any record-breaking performances, and the visitors will start solidly, but the Star will beat the Lithuanians in the second half.
