Crvena Zvezda vs Real Madrid Preview

A direct duel between two contenders for direct playoff qualification, whose outcome will give us a clearer picture of the standings.

Can Crvena Zvezda players deliver another big celebration for their fans, or will the guests from Madrid continue their winning streak?

Crvena Zvezda Form & Team News

Crvena Zvezda made a huge step toward playoff qualification with a convincing win over Virtus Bologna.

They have three more big tests ahead, all against teams vying for the highest positions, with the first in line being the Royal Club, which has finally started playing like the team that reached the EuroLeague final last season.

What’s positive for coach Sfairopoulos is that the players will be fresh and ready for this game, as the early blowout win over Virtus allowed him to reduce his players' minutes before the upcoming match.

All 12 players contributed to the demolition of the Italian team, and one of the standout performers, just like in the previous victory over Olympiacos, was Dejan Davidovac, who finished the game with a season-high 17 points, closely followed by Filip Petrusev with 17 points and 6 assists.

For the match against Real Madrid, coach Sfairopoulos will not be able to count on the services of injured Joel Bolomboy, Luka Mitrovic, and Mike Daum.

Real Madrid Form & Team News

Real Madrid's EuroLeague season was heading toward disaster at one point, but as expected, the Madrid squad drastically raised their game and is now aiming for a direct playoff spot.

They successfully overcame their first obstacle this week, defeating Olimpia Milano 96:89 on Tuesday. The final score doesn't fully reflect how dominant coach Chus Mateo's team was, as they led by as much as 18 points at one stage.

In this crucial part of the season, Dzanan Musa and Edy Tavares have raised their performances, and they were the main contributors to another comfortable victory with a combined 40 points.

Real Madrid's good form also coincided with the return of Gabriel Deck, who, although struggling to find his offensive rhythm, has been invaluable in defense.

For the first time in a while this season, Real Madrid will have all of their players available for the upcoming match.

Head to Head

Like most teams in the EuroLeague, Crvena Zvezda teams have struggled against Real Madrid in recent seasons. Real has won the last five direct encounters, with Crvena Zvezda teams failing to score more than 60 points in three of those games.

Verdict

Crvena Zvezda v Real Madrid

I give a slight advantage to the visiting team in this clash, but I wouldn't dare predict the winner. Both teams typically overpower their opponents with tough and aggressive defense, and I believe that will be the key in this game.

This definitely won't be a match where we see two teams just trading easy points.
