BCL: Partizan chasing 2nd spot in Italy, Cibona still have chance to reach the next stage

The final round of the Basketball Champions League Regular Season is approaching, while ABA League teams are ready to face new challenges.

They will all play their games on Wednesday evening, while Partizan NIS and Cibona will have special motivation to score wins this week.

Partizan NIS are currently sharing the 2nd spot on the Group E standings together with AEK Athens and Ludwigsburg. In order to finish the Regular Season at the 2nd place, the black and white crew will need to beat Sassari on the road in this round and to hope that AEK Athens will lose their match. Anyway, the most important thing is that Partizan NIS have already secured a ticket for the Basketball Champions League Playoffs.

At the same time, Cibona will try to advance to the Playoffs in the very last moment. To do so, the Wolves have to defeat Oostende at home court so that they would finish the Regular Season at the 5th place of Group D. Recall that four out of five 5th placed teams will advance to the Playoffs. Hopefully, Cibona will be among them.

Finally, the last round of the Regular Season won't mean a lot to Mega Leks and Mornar, as they have no chances to reach the next stage of the competition. Mega Leks will say farewell to this season's European journey at the home match against Tenerife, while Mornar will close their Basketball Champions League campaign with a home game against Strasbourg.
