7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys: 2023-24 games to watch

7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys is set to start its sixth BKT EuroCup season, and has been to the competition in the last four years. It has been really solid recently, making it to the playoffs in each of the last two campaigns and getting the home-court advantage in the eighthfinals last season. Lietkabelis is ready for bigger goals and in order to achieve them, it needs to be successful in some likely key matchups along the way.

### Canak returns

It should be a really special night at Cido Arena. Nenad Canak returns to Panevezys, this time as Turk Telekom head coach. Canak led Lietkabelis to its current situation, coaching the team for the previous five seasons. Last season, Canak guided Lietkabelis to the EuroCup Eightfinals for the second consecutive season. He also helped his former team make it to the Lithuanian League finals in 2022. Expect Lietkabelis fans to welcome him back with a well-deserved standing ovation.

[Round 14: 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys vs. Dreamland Gran Canaria](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/7bet-lietkabelis-panevezys-dreamland-gran-canaria/U2023/140/#comparison)

In order to be one of the best teams in the competition, you need to do well against those who reached far in the 2022-23 season, and no other team did better than reigning champions Gran Canaria. It is its first visit to Cido Arena since 2016, and Lietkabelis usually plays well against Spanish teams at home, beating five of them in as many seasons. Given the fact that everyone has an extra motivation against the champions, Lietkabelis should be ready to give his team in a critical showdown late in the regular season.

 

[Round 18: U-BT Cluj-Napoja vs. 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/u-bt-cluj-napoca-7bet-lietkabelis-panevezys/U2023/179/#comparison)

It is not going to be easy to rank sixth or better in any group, but Lietkabelis managed to do so in the last two seasons. Indeed, Lietkabelis ranked fifth in its regular season group in 2021-22, and was fourth last season. It may go down to its last game in Group A, against a team knows for its loyal fans able to sell out Bt-Arena on regular basis. Whether Lietkabelis is qualified or has chances to advance in Round 18, playing in front a strong atmosphere always helps the team's chemistry and prepares the team for bigger challenges.
