Partizan has certainly looked good in recent matches, but it will be difficult for the Serbs against Monaco. The Red Whites are confident outside their home city. The away victories over Real Madrid and Olympiacos confirm this. We believe that Monaco has a good chance of beating their Belgrade rivals.
Partizan is not a fast team. In their last three home games in the Euroleague, the teams have not scored more than 161 points. It’s likely that this meeting with Monaco will be no exception.
The Serbs have scored more than 82 points in 3 of their last 5 home games in the Euroleague.
