Another European week is in front of the ABA League clubs.
Crvena zvezda mts are heading toward their first double-game EuroLeague week. The red & whites will firstly host Lithuanian powerhouse Zalgiris Kaunas on Tuesday evening, while then they will play against French side LDLC ASVEL on the road on Thursday evening.
Crvena zvezda mts are in amazing form at the start of the new season. They scored two very convincing wins in the ABA League, while they also defeated Spanish champions Baskonia in the last round of the 2020/21 EuroLeague regular season. And be quite sure that the Belgrade giant does not plan to stop there.
Cedevita Olimpija had to miss the last week’s action as the whole team have been put into quarantine due to coronavirus, but they should return on court this week in their Tuesday night EuroCup match vs. Herbalife Gran Canaria in Ljubljana. The Dragons are still winless in the 2020/21 EuroCup regular season and they really need to win the upcoming match in order to stay in the race for the next stage.
Partizan NIS, Mornar and Budućnost VOLI will play their EuroCup games on Wednesday evening.
Partizan NIS are traveling to Russia to face UNICS Kazan. The black & whites scored their first EuroCup win last week when they defeated Umana Reyer Venice, however after that they suffered a shocking defeat against Budućnost VOLI in the ABA League. We are about to see if the Belgrade side has managed to recover from that painful loss in time for the very important EuroCup game.
Mornar are awaiting the home game vs. Germani Brescia in excellent mood as they have scored some big wins during the last week. The boys from Bar have defeated Unicaja Malaga in EuroCup and Zadar on the road in ABA League, so now they want to increase that winning streak.
Another ABA League side is approaching the following EuroCup week in high spirits. Budućnost VOLI haven’t lost a single game since the start of the new season. They have 2-0 in ABA League and 2-0 in EuroCup, while you all know what happened last weekend when the blue-and-whites defeated Partizan NIS on the road in one of the most epic ABA League games ever played. This week, Budućnost VOLI will play against Spanish side Unicaja Malaga on the road and the Podgorica side is fully motivated to add another win to their season score.
