Crvena Zvezda: the Serbian giants boast an impressive backline
Last week, Crvena Zvezda faced Zalgiris and suffered a 77-83 defeat. The team looked solid in the first half, but things quickly unraveled on offense after the break. At times, they lacked fitness, at others, cohesion-or simply a bit of luck. And all this unfolded in front of their home crowd. The hosts will be eager to bounce back and restore some pride. However, Hapoel are a formidable opponent, and this won’t be an easy test. Given their recent offensive inconsistency, the Serbian powerhouse’s coaching staff may opt for a more defensive approach this time around.

Hapoel Tel Aviv: the visitors are far from their best form
The Israeli side boasts impressive resources, sparing no expense when it comes to player salaries. As a result, their roster is stacked with top-tier basketball talent, most notably Vasilije Micić. On their home court, they are capable of producing outstanding stretches of play-something they demonstrated even in a narrow loss to Bayern (84-86). However, inconsistency has plagued them early in the season, with particular struggles from beyond the arc. In their EuroLeague opener, they converted just 27% of their three-point attempts. While there is certainly room for improvement, a trip to Serbia is unlikely to spark a dramatic turnaround in that department. Defensively, even Hapoel’s star players will need to put in a shift.
