Crvena Zvezda is a team of Euroleague level, which already puts them on a different level compared to their opponents in the ABA League. The team successfully plays in home matches even against the best teams in Europe, and they rarely lose away in this tournament. All the leaders are healthy and preparing for the meeting, so Crvena Zvezda is likely to be in optimal shape for this game.
Partizan finished second in the regular season. Their starting five are close in performance to Crvena Zvezda, but the level of performers on the bench is too different in favor of the favorite, which could be a key factor.
It would be difficult for Partizan even if they played in their own arena. Crvena Zvezda rarely loses in home matches, especially against lower-class opponents.
Our prediction: Crvena Zvezda to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.45
