Crvena zvezda mts have scored some huge wins over the past few rounds in Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, while this week they will have probably the most difficult challenge in this season as they are about to play against the reigning European champions Anadolu Efes on the road on Wednesday evening.

The red-and-whites have never defeated Anadolu Efes in Istanbul. They have played 5 times against the Turkish giant on the road and they have suffered 5 defeats. But, perhaps the time has come to break that losing streak. Crvena zvezda mts are playing some top-class basketball in this season and be quite sure that they reigning AdmiralBet ABA League champions can beat any team in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, including the European champions.

The 7Days EuroCup week starts already on Tuesday evening for AdmiralBet ABA League clubs.

Despite losing the last round match against Gran Canaria, Budućnost VOLI are still the top-placed team in Group B and they will try to stay there after this round in which they will face JL Bourg on the road on Tuesday evening.

The blue-and-whites are still having lot of problems with injuries as they had just 8 players fit for their last-round match in AdmiralBet ABA League, but even though they had such a short roster they managed to score a 46-point margin win against Krka. If they repeat that kind of performance, they will indeed have a big chance to grab a precious win in France against JL Bourg.

Cedevita Olimpija have improved their results in AdmiralBet ABA League lately, but they are still having problems in 7Days EuroCup in which they are on a 5-game losing streak. And, the Dragons are in front of another very difficult challenge in this competition as they are about to play against Spanish giant Valenca Basket on the road on Tuesday evening.

Valencia Basket is one of the strongest teams in 7Days EuroCup in this season, which is why the upcoming game will be so difficult for Cedevita Olimpija, but be quite sure that the Ljubljana crew are not traveling to Spain to surrender the win that easily.

Partizan NIS will play their game on Wednesday, while their opponent this week is Russian powerhouse Lokomotiv Kuban. This will be a direct battle for the top spot in Group A as Partizan NIS are currently holding the 1st place with the overall score of 6-1, while Lokomotiv Kuban are just behind with the score of 5-2. Lokomotiv Kuban will have a home-court advantage in the upcoming match, but Partizan NIS have already showed numerous times in this season that they can score big wins on the road.
