Another European week is in front of the ABA League clubs.
Crvena zvezda mts will once again play two EuroLeague games in just couple of days and both of them will be on the road. The red & whites will firstly travel to Italy to face AX Armani Exchange Milan on Wednesday evening, while then they will go to Spain to play against Barcelona. Last week, The Belgrade side achieved their first away win this EuroLeague season, so they hope that they might continue with good results on the road.
As far as EuroCup is concerned, Partizan NIS will have the most difficult week as they are about to play two games. The good thing is that the black & whites will play both of those two games at home. They will firstly host UNICS Kazan on Tuesday evening, while then they will play against Joventut Badalona on Thursday evening. There is no need telling you how much two home wins would mean to Partizan NIS in the race for the next stage.
Budućnost VOLI should return to action this week after missing the previous two rounds due to confirmed positive COVID-19 cases in their team. If everything is fine, Budućnost VOLI will host Unicaja Malaga on Wednesday evening, while it would be perfect if the blue-and-whites could win this match with 5 or more points as in the first part of the season Unicaja triumphed in Spain by 91:87.
Mornar travel to Italy where they will try to get back on the winning track in the match against Germani Brescia on Wednesday evening. The boys from Bar lost the previous two games in EuroCup, so they really need this win as the race for the next stage is coming to an end. Mornar have easily defeated Germani Brescia in the first part of the season – 95:76.
Cedevita Olimpija will play against Herbalife Gran Canaria on the road on Wednesday evening. By winning 4 out of the last 5 games in EuroCup, the Dragons have come very close of securing a ticket for the next stage and the win in the following match might definitely seal their spot among the top 4 teams in the group.
