After playing against Cibona last weekend, Partizan NIS will be involved in another clash of European champions. This time the famous club from Belgrade will face French side Limoges on the road in the 4th round of 2017/18 EuroCup season.
The black & white team is in excellent form, they have scored 4 consecutive wins in ABA League, while they also have triumphed in the previous round of EuroCup. Partizan NIS and Limoges currently have the same overall score in EuroCup - 1 win and 2 defeats.
The things in France will be more difficult than usual for the Belgrade crew, simply because they will be without Novica Veličković and Samardo Samuels. Still, the good news is that Patrick Miller and Aleksandar Aranitović will be back in roster after they missed the previous game in ABA League.
Partizan NIS will play their game on Tuesday, while Budućnost VOLI and Cedevita will face their rivals on Wednesday.
Budućnost VOLI will host a team which is probably playing the best basketball in EuroCup at the moment - Bayern Munich. The German powerhouse has the perfect score with 3 wins out of 3 rounds, but guess what - they share the top spot on the standings with Budućnost VOLI, who have also been undefeated so far in the competition.
On top of that, the boys from Podgorica are playing outstanding in ABA League as well, where they are holding the 1st place on the standings.
Finally, Cedevita will face last-season EuroLeague side UNICS Kazan. After making that tremendous comeback against Mega Bemax in the previous round of ABA League, the squad from Zagreb await this match in very high spirits. They will have a home court advantage, which is always important if you live in this region, so be quite sure that the Orange crew will be well-motivated to score another EuroCup win on Wednesday evening.
