Asvel Team News
In the Euroleague round 12, Asvel made the biggest surprise of the season so far. They defeated Barcelona in “Blaugrana” thanks to Nando de Colo who made crucial shot two seconds before the end. In this way, they ended a streak of five defeats in this competition.
Victory in Barcelona is especially impressive if you know that Asvel did it with only six assists and five three-pointers. Next to De Colo, Youssoupha Fall was outstanding with 14 points and 18 rebounds. The Senegalese is one of the best rim protectors in the Euroleague this season and represents great strength of his team in the paint. Parker Jakcson-Cartwright was also solid, although Asvel’s defense suffers a lot when he is on the court.
At this moment, Asvel is in a better momentum than Partizan and they will try to take advantage of that. It will be crucial for them not to allow the opponent to play in transition and hit open three-point shots. If Asvel impose their rhythm, they will be the favorites to achieve fifth win in the Euroleague.
Partizan Team News
After win against Maccabi, everything went wrong for Partizan. They lost in the ABA league against Red Star and Cedevita Olimpija, while in the Euroleague they were defeated in four consecutive games. It was especially painful for them last week when Red Star beat them in front of 18,000 fans in “Stark Arena”.
Offensively, Partizan is more than good this season. The problem is their defense, which is by far the worst in the Euroleague. They allow 87.1 points per game, which is unacceptable for this level of competition. In almost every game, black and whites allow between 15 and 25 easy baskets at the rim. After defeat against Cedevita Olimpija, head coach Zeljko Obradovic announced certain changes that may already be visible in this clash in Villeurbanne.
Partizan had the ambition to fight for top 8 this season, which secures the Euroleague quarterfinals. If they lose to Asvel, it will be almost an impossible task. That’s why this game is extremely important for them. If they don’t show a reaction now, the question is whether they will get another chance to catch top 8 spot.
H2H
Asvel and Partizan played six times against each other and H2H is 3-3. Last time they met in 2018 in the Eurocup, when both game were won by visiting team.
Injuries
Joffrey Lauvergne is injured and won’t play for Asvel. Aleksa Avramovic and Balsa Koprivica didn’t travel to France and are out of action for Partizan.
Asvel vs. Partizan Prediction
Quite simply, Partizan no longer has time to wait. Coach Obradovic has to show why he won this competition nine times. It is necessary to find a recipe to overcome Asvel and black and white definitely have the quality in the roster for such a thing.
