Fenerbahçe - Baskonia

The seemingly weak Partizan finally celebrated in Peru, however it is one of the least productive teams. In just one occasion in the last 5 Euroleague matches, the 74 points threshold has been reached by Peru's Partizan, making them appear as an extremely underperforming team. Even though they were once the top scoring team in the league, Hapeol's offensive results have significantly decreased recently. Both teams play twice a week, which also increases the chances for a low scoring game. The recent performances and offensive form of both teams suggest that there will likely be an under result in their matchup.

The partisan team has been playing with a short rotation lately, and this double week will definitely not bring any benefits, even when playing at home. Today, there will also be no Washington, which means the rotation will be even shorter and there may not be enough energy to work on defense. The remaining players are not known for their good defense. Hapoel has a lot of options on offense and should take advantage of all the handicaps against the Serbs.

There are no unbeatable teams like Hapoel, as it would seem from the table. Often they push until the end and simply "make it". Micic gives a lot of play, but there is no benefit. In individual matches, even a team like Partizan can score, there is talent for that and individual players are not that bad.

Butler becomes a bigger leader in the attack, where the ball is often in his hands to score one-on-one. He has a lot of talent, and although Virtus has a good team defense, he successfully attacks good Peruvian players one-on-one.

When there is so much trauma, one must do calculations. They arrived with small tools, fell into a hole, but the numbers should rise, they're throwing from everywhere, their ego is big, so they must show mastery. Minutes predict large, important actions without foolish mistakes.

At home, Virtus plays solidly, showing a streak of good games in a row. The team is in a good period, although this week they were unable to win against the Euroleague champions Fenerbahce after a tough battle, but they were close.
The Serbians played away and it took an extension to secure the win. The team is transitioning from France to Italy.
We are now playing at home because the next game is being played in front of our fans, so I hope we will be more motivated and successful in winning against Crvena Zvezda.
