Valencia Team News
The team from Valencia is led this year by the famous basketball player, Alex Mumbra. Valencia is an unpredictable team, which is best shown by their results this season. They defeated Efes and Olympiakos on the road, while at home they lost to, on paper, worse teams.
This season, as in previous years, Dubljevic is the leader of this team. Dubljevic entered the season more slowly, but when he found the right rhythm, he began to terrorize opposing defenses. A center who can and knows how to play with his back, but also to spread out and shoot for three. The big reinforcement of Valencia this season is Chris Jones, who is not as effective as in the ASVEL team last season. Special mention should be made of the under-the-radar duo who do serious work in the pick-and-roll game, ie. a collaboration between Harper and Rivero. Rivero is a center that has won the hearts of all basketball fans across Europe. Especially because of the great placements, but also the fight and energy it provides.
In the last match in the Euroleague, they were defeated in Milan by a heated Olimpia, and Valencia was led by Dubljevic with 26 points and 9 rebounds. On Tuesday, they beat Fuenlabrada very hard by 6 points, and the duo Harper and Rivero were the most effective. Harper scored 18 points, while Rivero added 14 points.
Crvena zvezda Team News
It’s been a very turbulent week behind Crvena zvezda, and they have big challenges ahead of them. Course of yesterday, the news came out that Zvezda is forbidden to register new players until the first of March, which automatically means that Facundo Campazzo will not be able to play in the Euroleague for two full months. Which is a huge minus for Zvezda, but also European basketball. Campazzo is one of the best playmakers in Europe, and his matches and moves sell tickets and fill the halls.
In the last match of the Euroleague, they lost to Barcelona, and they had everything in their hands. Mirotic’s three-pointer from nine meters decided this match. During that shot, Mirotic stepped on the line and Zvezda was seriously damaged, which was acknowledged by the Euroleague itself. To make that defeat even harder, the MVP of December of the Euroleague, Luca Vildoza, suffered a hamstring injury and will be out for a couple of weeks.
Zvezda is one of the most pleasant surprises in European basketball this season in the Euroleague in general. Especially since Dusko Ivanovic arrived on the Crvena zvezda bench, they shook up the team and with his knowledge, charisma, and authority raised the game, as well as the quality of all players, to a higher level. Ivanovic did his actual doctorate with the young Filip Petrsšev, who got us used to regularly writing 20 points and 10 rebounds in his notebook.
Zvezda won in the ABA league at the weekend, away from the unpleasant Split, and they had a day more rest than Valencia, but will Markovic and the young Topic be able to help Nedovic and make up for the absences of Vildoza and Campazzo?

Valencia vs Crvena zvezda Prediction
Since Dusko Ivanovic came to the Crvena zvezda bench, no one has “broken” the red and whites, so we expect it to be the same this time. It wouldn’t surprise us if Zvezda won this match, and we think the bookies underestimated them a bit.
