Another European week is in front of the ABA League clubs.
Wednesday is the day for EuroCup as all four ABA League teams will play their games on this day.
Everything will start in Russia where Mornar will face UNICS Kazan in the match that is very important for the Bar troops as they want to end their 2-game losing streak in this competition. Still, it must be mentioned that UNICS Kazan are the only undefeated team in this group with the overall score of 3-0.
Budućnost VOLI will host Italian powerhouse Virtus Segafredo Bologna in Podgorica. The blue-and-whites made a coach change last week when they appointed club legend Dejan Milojević as new head coach. Milojević had a perfect debut as his team scored 99 points in the away match against FMP and grabbed a very important win, while this will be the first time for him to lead the team in EuroCup. Milojević and Budućnost VOLI won’t have an easy job this week that is certain as Virtus Segafredo Bologna are still undefeated in the 2020/21 EuroCup.
Partizan NIS are in front of probably their key game in EuroCup Top 16 phase as they are about to host Lokomotiv Kuban. After losing the game in Russia against this opponent last week by a 7-point margin, the black-and-whites will try to win this game by 8+ points in order to have a better head-to-head score against Lokomotiv Kuban. Still, the most important thing for Partizan NIS is to win this match. That 8+ margin would only be a big bonus.
Finally, Cedevita Olimpija will try to beat French side JL Bourg for the second time in less than 10 days. The Dragons triumphed in Ljubljana last week by 94:91, while if they win the upcoming game in France they will make a major step toward the next stage.
