Crvena zvezda Team News
In the moments when they should have played the best basketball of the season, Crvena zvezda fell into the biggest crisis. Everyone expected Facundo Campazzo debut in Euroleague with a lot of optimism, but even with him in roster “Red and whites” couldn’t defeat Bayern in Munich last week.
After the failure in Munich, an even more shocking defeat followed in Zagreb. Crvena zvezda was defeated by Cibona beyond all expectations and made first place in the ABA league questionable. When it comes to the Euroleague, there is still theoretical chances for the top 8. Dusko Ivanovic’s team has a solid schedule until the end of the regular season, but the first mission is to outplay the “back-to-back” champions of Europe.
Crvena Zvezda will need better three-point shot than in the previous matches if they want to defeat Anadolu Efes. Campazzo, Luca Vildoza and Nemanja Nedovic have the quality to break any opponent, but all three must have an even better “chemistry” on the floor. The defense must also play like in the period when Zvezda won continuously.
Anadolu Efes News
In the previous two rounds of the Euroleague, Anadolu Efes defeated Asvel and Panathinaikos away, and drastically increased their chances of playing in the quarterfinals of this competition. Shane Larkin and Will Clyburn have worked well together and if they continue like this, they will be a threat to anyone.
In the mentioned matches, Anadolu Efes played without their best player Vasilije Micic. There is a possibility that he will miss some more matches, but luckily for the current champions of Europe, they have a good schedule. Ergin Ataman’s team should not have too many problems when it comes to qualifying for the playoffs, but they want to secure it as soon as possible. We should expect them to be highly motivated in Belgrade.
The problem of Anadolu Efes in the previous seasons was that they started to play defense at a serious level only after the playoffs. For success against Crvena zvezda in Belgrade, they need to be even better defensively than they were in Villeurbanne and Athens.
Crvena zvezda vs Anadolu Efes H2H
These two teams played against each other 13 times in modern era. Anadolu Efes leads 10-3 including the triumph from last October by 72:59 in Istanbul.
Expected Lineups
Branko Lazic is questionable, while all other players are available to Crvena zvezda. Vasilije Micic will probably skip this Euroleague match as well.
Crvena zvezda vs Anadolu Efes Prediction
Crvena zvezda is one of the rare, if not the only, team in the Euroleague that can match Anadolu Efes in the outside line when it comes to the individual quality of the players. If the visitors play without Micic, the home team will be even more dominant. We believe that this is the match in which the Zvezda will finally end the series of defeats and outplay the European champions in front of a full stadium.
