Partizan will host Baskonia, who sit bottom of the EuroLeague after 10 rounds, at the Belgrade Arena. Will this match be as straightforward as their last outing?
Partizan
In the previous round, Partizan controlled their home game against Maccabi Tel Aviv from start to finish. They eventually won by more than 20 points (88:67). Although Partizan sit 11th in the standings, they average fewer points than the bottom-placed team — 78.4 compared with 81.3. There is a key difference, though: their defence is considerably stronger, conceding 78.2 points compared with 93.1.
Baskonia
Baskonia have won just 1 of their 10 games in this season's EuroLeague, beating Olimpia Milano at home back in early October (86:76). On the road, the team from Vitoria-Gasteiz quickly lose their grip on games and cannot close the gap in the latter stages. They lost their last two away games by at least 15 points — against ASVEL (79:94) and Fenerbahce (65:84).
Partizan vs Baskonia Prediction
Baskonia may score plenty, but they will concede even more. It is worth recalling their previous visit to Partizan, which ended 91:79 in favour of the hosts. This time, we again expect Partizan to win by around 10 points or more.
