Partizan Team News
When Partizan lost to Asvel two weeks ago, it seemed like there was no going back. Nevertheless, Zeljko Obradovic once again showed why he is the best European coach of all time. He led his team to big wins against Anadolu Efes and Fenerbahce and everything is looking much better now.
Although their shots from distance were completely out of rhythm against the Turkish clubs, Partizan’s defense was at a high level. This was not the case even once in the first 13 rounds. Coach Obradovic has found a winning formula and black and whites have a great chance to continue their winning streak. Dante Exum is in fantastic form, Mathias Lessort is statistically the best center in the Euroleague, while Kevin Punter, Zach LeDay, Ioannis Papapetrou and James Nunnally are doing their roles very well.
Partizan enters this game as the favorite. “Stark Arena” is sold out again, which means that more than 18,000 fans will be in the hall. This will be an additional motivation for Partizan players to give their best again and thus achieve third consecutive win in the Euroleague.
Bayern Team News
Bayern are at 5-10 after 15 rounds and it seems that the appearance in the Euroleague quarterfinals will remain just a dream. In Andrea Trinchieri’s third season in Munich, this is the weakest team he has had. In addition, they had a lot of problems with injuries since the beginning of this competition.
Last week, Bayern lost in Kaunas against Zalgiris. They were without five important players and the situation won’t be much better now. In addition to injury problems, Bayern looks very weak offensively. They are failing to find a way to get easy points under the basket. They make only 43.4% of two-point shots, which is by far the worst in the Euroleague. The flow of the ball is also slow. They are in last place in the competition in terms of assists (only 13.2 per game).
In order to have any chance in Belgrade, Bayern will have to play impressively in defense. If they don’t limit Partizan to less than 75 points, their chances are probably non-existent. And even that is not a guarantee of success.
H2H
Only twice so far these two teams played against each other. This happened in the 2013/2014 season and home team won both times. In Belgrade, score was 70:55 for Partizan.
Injuries
Balsa Koprivica is injured and won’t play for Partizan. Vladimir Lucic, Zan Mark Sisko and Andreas Obst are out of action at Bayern, while Niels Giffey is questionable.
Partizan vs. Bayern Prediction
Looking at current form, problems with injuries and the overall individual quality, all this goes to Partizan side. That’s why we expect them to beat Bayern without much trouble.
