Strasbourg Team News
Strasbourg did not start the competition in the domestic championship in a perfect way. After beating Nanterre in the first round, they lost to Limoges in the second.
Many oscillations were seen in that encounter. This team played a very bad defensive half, and in the following with an excellent offense, they managed to complicate the situation. However, it was not enough for the win, as the fourth quarter was another poor period in their game, which Limoges took advantage of. The points in that game were spread. Strasbourg had as many as five double-digit players, of which Paul Lacombe stood out the most with 15 points. It is clear that the problem was on the other side of the floor. Along with Lacombe, the most outstanding since the start of the championship is Phil Booth, who stopped at 12 points this time.
What characterizes Strasbourg in a small sample of two games is inconstancy. In the first round, they allowed 57 points to the rival, in the second, they conceded 30 more, while the offensive performance is not so drastically different – 71, then 80 points. It is also noticeable that Strasbourg has problems with rebound control. In that segment, they were outplayed in both cases.
Jonava Team News
Jonava achieved maximum performance in the first two games in the domestic championship. Firts, againts Nevezis, they won 94:77. Then they beat Mazeikiai away 82:79.
The first name of the team in the course of the championship so far is Puerto Rican Ivan Gandia-Rosa. Against Nevezis, he shone, scoring 22 points in 23 minutes, along with four rebounds and assists, and was most deserving of the fact that the question of the winner was decided long before the end of the duel. In the next match, he was also in double figures – 14 points in 28 minutes, but he was also more creative, with eight assists. Help in that meeting was in the form of Mike Lewis. The American redeemed himself for a single-digit performance in the first round and scored 21 points in the second. If it hadn’t been like that, it would have been difficult for Jonava to rejoice in an uncertain ending, at a difficult away game. Experienced Tauras Jogela scored 17 points against Nevezis, against Mazeikiai 14, so he proved that he can also be a big threat to the opponent’s basket.
Jonava is a moderate shooting team for Lithuanian conditions, and 26 and 27 attempts from distance in the first two rounds speak for themselves. This team controls the rebound quite well, while the assists are also at the top level. Statistically, but also realistically, two very good matches are behind the Lithuanian team, which will try to continue in the same rhythm now.

Strasbourg vs Jonava Prediction
Despite Jonava better performance at the beginning of their domestic championship, it’s important to consider that the opponents they faced in the Lithuanian league were of lower quality compared to Strasbourg. All the strengths in the game will not be so present against Strasbourg, while Jonava’s weaknesses will be more exposed. The French are a tougher team, they don’t shoot as much for three points and they have a plan B if things go wrong. Jonava does not have an equally high-quality interior game and therefore does not have the same offensive options. Because of all that, we expect Strasbourg to win by a margin greater than the offered handicap.
