Crvena zvezda Team News
With the defeat against Barcelona in the “Blaugrana,” Crvena zvezda lost all chances for the top 8. Lost games to Alba Berlin, Bayern, and Panathinaikos made the difference between whether or not Dusko Ivanovic’s team would make the quarter-final.
There are several reasons for the bad performances of the current ABA league champion in the last two months. The defense needed to be at the level it was before, while the arrival of Facundo Campazzo slightly disturbed the hierarchy in the attack. Luca Vildoza doesn’t have the ball in his hands like before, which has affected his form. Nemanja Nedović missed a couple of games due to injury, and the best defender Branko Lazic hasn’t played for almost a month.
Although all chances for the top 8 are realistically lost, Zvezda will not play the remaining five matches in the Euroleague with the white flag. They will use this period to start a series of victories and wait for the playoffs in the ABA league in the best possible way.
Crveno-beli u napad zajedno! 🔴⚪️

Baskonia Team News
Unlike Crvena zvezda, Baskonia has something to play for in the last five rounds. They are in eighth position with a score of 15-14, and predictions say they need three more wins to qualify for the Euroleague quarterfinal.
Although Marcus Howard’s form has declined, Darius Thomspon has taken charge and led Baskonia correctly over the past two months. They defeated Real Madrid for the fourth time in the season on the weekend. Max Heidegger and Vanja Marinkovic were excellent from the second plan, while Steven Enoch played one of the season’s best matches.
The contribution of the Baskonia bench will be crucial in Belgrade. They need to rely on more than Thompson and Howard, and that was best seen in Tel Aviv last week. The two of them combined to shoot 1/13 for three points in that match, which was one of the main reasons for the loss against Maccabi.

Crvena zvezda vs Baskonia H2H
Baskonia defeated Crvena zvezda 92:75 in October. Since then, many things have changed in both teams. Interestingly the last six matches between these clubs have been won by the team which played as host.
Expected Lineups
Ognjen Dobric, Nemanja Nedovic, and Branko Lazic are questionable for Crvena zvezda, and we will know on the match day whether they will be in the squad. Baskonia will be without Tadas Sedekerskis and Pierrie Henry.
Crvena zvezda vs Baskonia Prediction
This match is more important for Baskonia, but that does not mean that Crvena zvezda will play with less motivation. Zvezda couldn’t handle the pressure of results they had all season, but now that they are relieved, they can show their best edition. Luca Vildoza and Dusko Ivanovic will have a particular motive, and Zvezda is the favorite in this match for a reason.
