ABA League clubs are facing new challenges in the European competitions. Budućnost VOLI have won their 3 previous games in EuroLeague, but this week they are facing an extremely difficult challenge. The reigning ABA League champions are about to play against CSKA Moscow on the road.
Although the Russian giant is considered as the clear favorite in this match, do not forget that Budućnost VOLI did beat them in the 1st part of the season in Podgorica! Back then, the Blue squad triumphed by 93:92.
In EuroCup, Partizan NIS will host Rytas on Tuesday evening. Last week, the black & whites significantly improved their chances for reaching the next stage by beating AS Monaco on the road, but they still have a lot of work to do. The first thing they now need to do is to beat Rytas in Belgrade.
One day later, Crvena zvezda mts will play against Limoges on the road. The red & whites simply have to win this match in order to stay in the race for the quarterfinals, so they need to forget the previous defeats against Valencia and Cedevita and to give everything they got to take the win in France.
At the same time, Cedevita will be facing MoraBanc Andorra without any pressure, as they had already stayed without chances for reaching the next stage. The Orange troops are now fully focused on keeping the 2nd spot in ABA League, so this match will just serve them as a strong training for the upcoming challenges.
Finally, in FIBA Champions League, Petrol Olimpija are in front of another road game, as this week they will play against Bayreuth in Germany.
