Barcelona Team News
Barcelona didn’t start new season according to expectations. They already lost three games in the Euroleague and they had few unexpected defeats in the Endesa League as well. One such happened on Sunday evening when they were defeated by Joventut in Badalona.
Nicolas Laprovittola is the only Barcelona player who plays consistently well, while everyone else fluctuates a lot. In the absence of Nikola Mirotic, a real leader is missing on the floor. Cory Higgins and Tomas Satoransky failed to establish themselves as such personalities. Head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius always emphasizes defense. In this segment, the Catalans are really good in the Euroleague, as they allow opponents only 76.3 points per match.
In the last two games, Barcelona experienced two defeats. They will be highly motivated to get back on the winning track because if they lose to Partizan, it will lead to certain upheavals within the team. That nervousness is present, it was seen against Anadolu Efes last week.
Partizan Team News
Partizan definitely showed that they belong in the Euroleague. Zeljko Obradovic’s team won four of their last five game in this competition and they are currently in eighth place. Last week they defeated Maccabi in Belgrade in front of 18,000 fans.
Partizan’s offense is particularly impressive. They are scoring 84.6 points per game and for some time now they have been consistently in first place in the percentage of three-point shots (40.9%). Black and white have several players who can score 20 or more points. Kevin Punter stands out as a captain and leader, but Zach LeDay, Mathias Lessort, Dante Exum and James Nunnally all make huge contributions. Defensively, there are still some shortcomings, but even those segments look better as time goes by.
Although they are underdogs on paper, Partizan will not come to Barcelona with a white flag. Coach Obradovic is always particularly motivated when he competes with his student Jasikevicius. He will surely have a great desire to teach him some new coaching lesson this time as well.
H2H
Barcelona leads 7-3 against Partizan in the game these two teams played against each other in the Euroleague. In Palau Blaugrana, the Catalans won all five matches so far.
Injuries
There is a small chance that Nikola Mirotic will return to the Barcelona roster for this game, while Kyle Kuric and Sergi Martinez are unlikely to play. Aleksa Avramovic and Balsa Koprivica are out of action at Partizan.
Barcelona vs. Partizan Prediction
Partizan didn’t play well at road so far, but this is the ideal moment for them to play a good game outside of Belgrade. Some players like Alen Smailagic and Dante Exum are back, plus Vladimir Brodziansky was signed. Rotation is bigger and black and white should be able to at least cover 11-point handicap here.
