Zalgiris Kaunas hosted Anadolu Efes in EuroLeague Round 6 at Zalgirio Arena while both clubs sat at 1-4 entering the matchup. Zalgiris aimed to rebound from back-to-back road losses, including a heavy defeat at Fenerbahce, but faced continued absence of point guard Nigel Williams-Goss due to a hamstring injury. Anadolu Efes, coached by Pablo Laso, arrived with its own offensive struggles yet carried historical success in Kaunas, having won eight of the last 15 visits. Key Efes absences included long-term injured Mike James (Achilles) and others on the sideline. Pre-game trader consensus leaned toward the home side, reflecting home-court advantage and Zalgiris’ recent perimeter scoring from Carsen Edwards, though Efes’ defensive vulnerabilities and road form created a competitive implied probability spread.
