Head-to-head statistics KK Crvena Zvezda - Milano
Crvena Zvezda Team Overview
In the last Euroleague round, the Serbians suffered a heavy defeat against Bayern (82:100). The defense did not look its best, especially on the perimeter. Nevertheless, in terms of points allowed, the hosts are still among the league leaders - 80.9 per game (4th). There is no doubt that they will need to slow down the pace: getting into a shootout with Milan would be a very bad idea. It could result in the same outcome as the previous week in Munich. The stands should help: Crvena rarely loses at home. In most cases, they manage not only to perform well in defense but also to set up their offense. They have players to rely on: in playmaking, there are Miller-McIntyre, Teodosic, and Nedovic. Under the basket, Bolomboy shows explosive leaping ability, collecting offensive rebounds. In some components, Zvezda ranks among the top: for example, in assists (19.5, 3rd). Team basketball, desire, and atmosphere should give the hosts the coveted boost.

Olimpia Milano Team Overview
Milan is not experiencing its best moments. In the last 5 matches, they have only 2 wins. One of them was in the domestic championship against a noticeably weaker Treviso (80:90). As for the Euroleague, they have a defeat against Fenerbahce (76:100) behind them. Milan has always had significant difficulties in defense - on average, the team concedes 85.8 points. This is the 15th result. Yes, in terms of offense, the numbers are noticeably better - especially in three-point shooting (39.7%). The roster includes Mirotic, Shields, and several other very skilled shooters. But these players tend to perform better in open basketball, particularly on their home court. Traveling to Belgrade is a very tough task for almost any team in the tournament. It's not certain that they will manage to catch fire in attack. In other metrics, Milan is below average. If the game becomes a scrappy basketball match, problems may arise both in rebounding (17th) and when needing to execute long plays (16th in assists).

Bookmakers logically consider Crvena Zvezda as favorites in this match-up. Undoubtedly, each team has its weaknesses. However, the Serbs can potentially offset some of their gameplay difficulties with phenomenal crowd support and determination.
