Crvena Zvezda has won four of its last six games against Partizan. Ivanovic’s side will once again be aiming for victory. Even if the team loses, they will probably do so in a struggle.
In their last encounter, the teams scored 164 points. In the remaining 3 of the 5 games between Partizan and Crvena Zvezda, the mark of 159.5 points was also reached. It’s unlikely that anything will change much now. A solid offensive performance should give the fans an entertaining encounter.
Partizan is slowly slipping down the EuroLeague standings. Obradovic’s men haven’t looked as confident as before. They’ve begun to lose more often. For example, in their last three Euroleague games, the team from Belgrade suffered a loss. The team lost one after the other to Barcelona, Real Madrid and Valencia.
Perhaps a successful play in the Adriatic League will make Partizan players feel more confident. A few days earlier, Obradovic’s men had no chance against Buducnost from Montenegro (106-77).
Partizan has won 60% of its home games of the season.
After the change of coach, Crvena Zvezda’s game has improved. The team has been looking good in recent matches. Dusko Ivanovic’s side has been on a winning streak of seven in a row. In recent encounters they’ve defeated Virtus Bologna (83-74) and Studentski Centar (92-76).
It should be noted that in late November, Crvena Zvezda faced Partizan in the Adriatic League. Back then, Ivanovic’s side celebrated a 90-74 victory.
Crvena Zvezda has lost 83% of its away games this season.
The visitors score 73.6 points per game on average.
Obradovic’s side has scored more than 83 points in 3 of its last 4 games. We offer to bet on “Partizan Points Over 83.5” with odds of 1.90.
