Red Star Team News
Since the arrival of Dusko Ivanovic, Red Star hasn’t lost a single game. They have six consecutive wins in the Euroleague, and 10 in all competitions combined. If they beat Milano, the Montenegrian expert will become the first coach ever to win first seven games in the Euroleague since taking over club during the season.
Besides the arrival of Ivanovic, the big thing for Red Star was Luca Vildoza signing. Argentinian point guard completely changed the look of their offense. He is able to destroy opponents in various ways. Also, Nemanja Nedovic who didn’t play in the first few rounds due to injury, found right rhythm. A much better defense that has been played since coaching change and more options in offense have led to these results that have been made in the last month.
If Red Star continues in the same rhythm, there is not a single reason why they wouldn’t beat Milano at home. They have many more options in offense and if Vildoza and Nedovic are in a recognizable edition, the host is absolute favorite.
Milano Team News
Milano achieved three wins in first four rounds of the Euroleague and there was nothing to indicate that a complete system collapse would occur. Currently, the Italian champions are on a nine-game losing streak and things don’t look set to change any time soon.
All Milano’s problems started from the moment when their best player Shavon Shields got injured. After that, the same fate befell the only point guard Kevin Pangos. Immediately, this team offense died down. As much knowledge as head coach Ettore Messina has, it is not enough to compensate for the inability to create with these players at his disposal. Milano defense works more than solidly, but it is not enough to win games in the Euroleague.
After new defeat against Maccabi on Tuesday evening, Messina confirmed that he will remain head coach next season. Simply, the reasons for bad games are hidden in the injuries of the best players and until they return, Milano can hardly do better with anyone on their bench.
H2H
This will be 10th clash between these two teams in the Euroleague so far. Red Star leads 6-3, but Milano won last three games.
Injuries
Nikola Ivanovic and Luka Mitrovic won’t play for Red Star due to injury. Kevin Pangos, Shavon Shields and Luigi Datome are out for Milano.
Red Star vs. Milano Prediction
At this moment, it is very difficult to believe that Milano can threaten anyone away from home. Even when they play great defensively, they don’t win. Red Star has 10 consecutive victories, and their coach Ivanovic has a chance to break the record. These are certainly the reasons why we favor club from Belgrade.
