ABA League clubs are facing new challenges in the European competitions. Budućnost VOLI will once again play a home game in EuroLeague and this week their opponent will be Zalgiris Kaunas. The reigning ABA League champions played a good game against Panathinaikos in the last round, but they suffered an unlucky defeat. Still, now everyone in Podgorica believe that the time has come for their favorite club to write down the 1st win in the 2018/19 EuroLeague regular season, so Sports center Morača will probably be fully packed on Friday night.
Meanwhile in EuroCup, Partizan NIS will be the first ABA team to get out on the court this week. The black & whites host Italian side Trento on Tuesday evening and they simply have to win this match to stay in the race for the next stage.
Mornar travel to Russia to face mighty UNICS Kazan, but their thoughts will probably be focused on the next weekend when they are about to play a big local derby against Budućnost VOLI in ABA League. Still, the squad from Bar will anyway try to be a worthy opponent to one of the favorites for winning the EuroCup this season.
After suffering two defeats in a row in EuroCup, Cedevita will try to get back on the winning path this week in the home game against French squad Limoges. In the first part of the season, the Orange troops were defeated in France by 82:68, but now the match will be played in Zagreb, in front of Cedevita's crowd.
Crvena zvezda mts are headed to Germany to face Ulm. The red & whites are currently the leaders of their group and they want to remain at the top after this round. In order to do that, they will need to beat Ulm for the 2nd time in this season.
In FIBA Champions League, Petrol Olimpija will try to get another win and this week they will host Lithuanian team Neptunas. The Dragons currently have 1 win less than their next rivals, so a win would mean so much to them in the battle for the next stage.
