Lietkabelis lost the first leg of this King Mindaugas' Cup leg in Utena 73-76. They must win now at home by 4 points to get a berth in the Final Four in Siauliai in February.
I think Lietkabelis will do it. The hosting teams has more experience and it matters most in games like this, plus they have very strong long-term chemistry and the inner bond to do better than Juventus. Morris is healthy and ready to play - that's a big boost to Lietkabelis, along with healthy Bickauskis. Lietkabelis has an unusually wide rotation for this game - at least for their injury-hit team status. Only Lipkevicius is out.
Juventus can play good games but they have seldom done good in games against teams better than them this term. Lietkabelis also has the court advantage at hand, so it's another important factor. Finally, Juventus has won twice this season against Lietkabelis, and Lietkabelis has done so only once. But again, Lietkabelis is better and healtier than ever before.
Let's put some trust on the guys from Panevezys.
