Another European week is in front of the ABA League clubs.
After scoring a huge home win against the still reigning European champions CSKA Moscow in the previous round of EuroLeague and after beating Mega Soccerbet in last week’s ABA League match of the round, Crvena zvezda mts are full of optimism ahead of another European game. This week, the Belgrade powerhouse will face Russian giant Khimki Moscow Region on the road on Friday evening, while everyone in the red & white team hope that now it is time for their first away win in the 2020/21 EuroLeague campaign.
In EuroCup, all games in which ABA League teams are participating in will be played on Wednesday evening.
One game will be especially interesting for all ABA League fans as Mornar and Budućnost VOLI are about to face each other in Group B. This match is very important for each side as apart from their big rivalry they are both trying to reach the next stage of the competition. Budućnost VOLI have the score of 3-1, while Mornar are at 2-2, but most importantly they are both currently placed in the Top 4 zone in Group B. Hopefully, they will both remain in that zone as it would mean that both Mornar and Budućnost VOLI would advance to the next stage.
Partizan NIS have finally found the right rhythm and they’ve been looking very good in the last couple of games. The black & whites are on a 3-win streak, counting all competitions, while this week they will try to use the good momentum to write down another important EuroCup win. Partizan NIS will host French side JL Bourg, which haven’t played a single game in the last 3 weeks as the team was in quarantine due to COVID-19 exposure.
Cedevita Olimpija won’t play their EuroCup game against Greek team Promitheas Patras this week due to local legislation imposing quarantine measures on Promitheas Patras team .
Igokea are about to start their first ever FIBA Champions League campaign this week, while their opponents at the start of the competition will be French side Limoges CSP. Igokea have scored 3 consecutive wins in ABA League and they are traveling to France ready to take another win in this season.
