ABA League clubs are facing new challenges in the European competitions. Budućnost VOLI are in front of another 2-game EuroLeague week. The reigning ABA League champions will firstly travel to Tel Aviv, where they will face Maccabi on Wednesday evening, while two days later they will host Darussafaka in Podgorica. The good thing for the Blue squad is that they have finally broken their losing streak by defeating Igokea last weekend. Therefore, they have significantly improved the atmosphere inside the locker room in front of the upcoming games.
In EuroCup, Crvena zvezda mts will play against Unicaja Malaga on the road in Round 2 of the TOP 16 stage. The red & whites triumphed in Round 1 against Limoges, while there is no need to point out how much a win in Malaga would mean to them in the race for the quarter-finals.
Cedevita will have a pretty tough challenge this week, as they are about to play against Zenit Saint Petersburg on the road. Both Cedevita and Zenit suffered defeat in the opening round of the EuroCup TOP 16 phase, so this is quite important match for each of them.
Partizan NIS will also try to write down their first win in the EuroCup TOP 16 stage and they will most certainly have a big support from the stands in the clash against Alba Berlin. The black & whites are approaching this match in very high spirits, after winning that incredible game against Mornar last weekend in ABA.
For the end, FIBA Champions League clubs return to action after a short break, while Petrol Olimpija will travel to Italy to face famous Virtus Bologna.
