Last week, Kaunas Žalgiris ended a nasty six-game losing streak: Panathinaikos finally beat them in Athens, and Duškas Ivanovičius’s students lost their last home game to Tel Aviv Maccabi, although they had won 4 wins in a row.
Martin Schiller’s students will try to end another nasty series: they lost at home the last five times. Overall, this Euroleague season, the Lithuanian champions managed to win only the first game at home – the confrontation with Istanbul’s Anadolu Efes, which took place in mid-October.
Baskonia has the highest average height (202.2 cm) in the entire Euroleague. For comparison, the average of Žalgiris is 199.3 cm. In the mutual duel, Vitorija’s team achieved more victories than Žalgiris – 13: 9.
The matches between the Lithuanian and Spanish champions, which will be played at the “Žalgiris” arena in Kaunas on Tuesday evening, will be an anniversary for Duško Ivanovičius from Montenegro, who coaches the “Baskonia” team. For the 63rd basketball specialist, this will be the 200th game in charge of the Vitoria team in the Euroleague. According to these statistics, the coach is already the club’s record holder.
This week, “Žalgiris” will have another chance to defend the walls of the house – on Thursday he will collide with the “Fenerbahče” of Istanbul, represented by former Žalgiris resident Edgaras Ulanovas. Baskonia will play away against Bayern Munich basketball players this week.
