Barcelona Team News
Barcelona suffered a shocking loss against Unicaja in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals. This further complicated head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius position, who is under constant pressure from the public. Winning the Euroleague is now the only way to justify huge investments made in the last few years.
In the first two seasons under coach Jasikevicius, Barcelona played very well until April when the problems started. Now, the situation is completely different. The Catalans have not looked good since the beginning and this is the first time in Jasikevicius era that the Copa del Rey hasn’t been won. Their defense is far from perfect, while they have even more problems in offense. Centers are not as effective as expected, plus point guards are not finding their teammates open. In terms of individual quality, Barcelona are one of the most powerful teams in Europe, but they need to show it on the floor.
This game against Monaco will reveal a lot of things. If this team has the right character, they will surely react after painful defeat against Unicaja. And the right character is necessary to achieve their ambitions this season, which is to win the Euroleague.
Monaco Team News
Monaco are another Euroleague team that achieved an extremely bad result in the national cup. They were also defeated in the quarterfinals by Bourg 102:92, and the weak performance particularly affected head coach Sasha Obradovic, who called out his players.
Although Monaco achieved a historic result last season by appearing in the Euroleague quarterfinals, not a single trophy was won. Monaco never won a domestic championship in their history and that is something that will be the minimum that is expected. Especially now when they failed in domestic cup. They are in an excellent position in Europe. Given that Fenerbahce has a very difficult schedule until the end of the regular season, Monaco has everything in their hands in the battle for top 4. Home court advantage in the quarterfinals is a huge factor in the fight for a spot at the Final Four.
Monaco lost four of their last five road games in the Euroleague. Defensively, they had a lot of problems in almost all matches. To beat Barcelona in the „Blaugrana“, it is necessary for them to be perfect on both sides of the floor.

Barcelona vs Monaco Prediction
Considering that both clubs were eliminated in the national cups quarterfinals, a reaction is expected. In these circumstances, the better team usually triumphs. Barcelona can play defense at a much higher level than Monaco and that should be crucial this time. Although the visitors have more offensive potential, the Catalans can match them in that segment without any problems.
