Partizan Team News
Partizan are in a streak of six consecutive wins in all competitions. They defeated Anadolu Efes, Fenerbahce and Bayern in the Euroleague in past two weeks. Now, they host Monaco with a lot of confidence. “Stark Arena” is sold out again and more than 18,000 fans will be in the stands.
According to the offensive rating, Partizan are second best offense in the Euroleague. However, they are at 7-9 after 16 rounds played. The reason for such a thing is the disastrous defense. When it comes to defensive rating, black and whites are the worst defense in this competition. Things started to improve on that side of the floor in the past period and better result is immediately noticeable.
If their defense is at required level, Partizan has a great chance to defeat Monaco. Mathias Lessort will be especially motivated against a club that didn’t want to keep him a year ago, plus Dante Exum has been unstoppable in the last few games.
Monaco Team News
Monaco are at very top of the Euroleague. However, fact is that they achieved many wins this season late in fourth quarter. They struggled a lot on their home floor against much weaker teams such as Bayern, Alba and Zalgiris. But they also achieved big wins at road against Olympiacos and Real Madrid.
When we look at Monaco’s defensive rating, they are only in 15th place. According to the offensive rating, they are eighth best offense in the Euroleague and those numbers definitely do not reflect their position on the table. All of Monaco’s last 15 games in this competition have ended with a single-digit margin. This means that all their games are close and all are decided in the fourth quarter. They travel to Belgrade without Jordan Loyd, which will create additional problems in offense.
Mike James played one of the weakest games in his career against Zalgiris. He will be extra motivated in Belgrade and his shooting performance will certainly determine the outcome of this game. If he and Elie Okobo are in good mood, Monaco will have something to hope for.
Partizan vs Monaco H2H
Until now, Partizan and Monaco never played against each other in the Euroleague. In 2018/2019 season, they met in the Eurocup top 16 and H2H was 1-1. Interestingly, visitors won on both occasions.
Injuries and Suspensions
All players are available for Partizan. Jordan Loyd is injured and won’t play for Monaco.
Partizan vs Monaco Prediction
Partizan’s offense is better than Monaco’s this season. On the other hand, Monaco’s defense is not that much stronger than Partizan’s. When you add to that the huge support for home team as well as the excellent form in which the black and whites are in, it’s clear why we expect Zeljko Obradovic’s team to achieve win in this clash.
