Crvena zvezda mts - CSKA Moscow

Quite a big plus is when Maccabi is a team based on offense and by no means always loses by large margins, and their form is also good for a Jewish club. It's necessary to give Olympic a chance, but the handicap seems a bit too much because in points competitions, Olympiacos is not shining very much and in the first match against Maccabi, they won only by a small margin of 90-93. I think Maccabi with Jokubaičius will show their strength.

It is a little difficult to believe that such a relatively high coefficient is given for Real Madrid, who are still fighting for a direct spot in the playoffs and for home court advantage in the knock-out stage. Partizan has lost all hope in Kaunas, where they were defeated, and now even at home it would be hard to expect any big guarantees. Real seems to be in great form at this point in the season, realistically not losing any games, with players focused and confident. And with the addition of Peru, I believe it is safe to say that the royal club is highly needed and should have the upper hand in the upcoming match.

No one will give up without a fight here, especially not Partizan against Real Peru. There is no shortage of emotions and rivalry between these teams after the quarterfinal series and player suspensions. Partizan needs this win against Peru, as their gameplay has been unstable and they can expect a tough battle at home. Real also does not seem to be performing well in offense, but their defense is solid.

I hope for a confident performance from Peru against Real Madrid, for whom these are very important matches. The team's current good form and relatively easy opponents demonstrate their true strength. However, Partizan is facing problems with inconsistency, particularly among their foreign players. This may not be a big issue for them, so the final match could potentially result in a high-scoring game with substitutes, while I believe Peru must give 110% to defeat Real Madrid. Taking such a risk could pay off, considering their negative form.

The Partizan season ends in a tragic form and the match against Real does not inspire any confidence, even when played at home. Real gathers strength in the decisive period and plays even better with the return of Gabriel Deck. Winning in Belgrade is not easy, but this Partizan team is not convincing. Real will have enough motivation to try and improve their position in the tournament table.

There is no partisan attack, no flow, so we need to expect some sort of an ugly game here. Realas with Tavares are able to shut down the free-throw line and control the pace. They are not wild so far, maybe they will turn on the tempo during the playoffs, but for now they are quite calm and it is likely to be a physical battle here.

I am trying both Ward's and Jantunen's 3-pointer overs. ALBA specifically plays against these positions and this season they have been playing overs in Euroleague. In the games played in Germany, Ward made 5 out of 6 3-pointers and Jantunen made 2 out of 4. Both players play good minutes in the final moments and are not afraid to take 3-point shots. Ward can easily make 5, 6, or even 8 3-pointers. Jantunen usually makes under 3-pointers, but he makes them at a very high percentage in the final moments.

I am trying both Wardo and Jantuneno's 3-pointers. ALBA specifically targets these players' position and this season in Euroleague has been marked by many overs for 3-pointers. In the games played in Germany, Ward made 5 out of 6 3-pointers, while Jantunenas made 2 out of 4. Both players play good minutes in the final moments and are not afraid to take 3-pointers. Ward can easily make 5, 6, or even 8 3-pointers. Jantunenes usually make under 3-pointers, but they have a very high percentage of success in the final minutes.

Very well executed play. Paris shoots very well from the 3PT line, making many of them. Recently, their accuracy has been very good and they have made many combinations specifically with 3PT shots. Alba's defense against Peru is tragic, so Paris will have a lot of freedom to attack from long range. In their first match against each other, Paris made a whopping 50 three-point shots, with 20 of them going in.

Even though Alba changed coaches, the team is about nothing. I believe that Paris will definitely have the motivation to defeat Peru and Germany and make it to the playoffs. After losing to Virtus, Alba seems demotivated and it's uncertain if they will change anything in their last Euroleague games of the season, so a 12.5 point handicap seems quite favorable.

Alba, no matter how hard she tries, she is not at that level. Paris always plays with motivation, while the opponent struggles to return to the game, so it will be easier for Paris to win against Peru. Their team is not a big handicap, so I am waiting for a statement from the French before the playoffs.
