Crvena Zvezda vs Anadolu Efes Preview


The Belgrade Arena is about to host one of the most crucial games for Crvena Zvezda in recent years.


Can the Red-Whites recover from their painful defeat to Real Madrid and clinch a win to secure at least a play-in spot, or will Anadolu Efes extend their winning run and derail their hopes?


Crvena Zvezda Form & Team News


Crvena zvezda are having their best EuroLeague season in nearly a decade, and with two rounds to go, they are just one step away from securing a top 10 spot.


Now, they hold their destiny in their hands, but the remaining two opponents are among the toughest possible.


All scenarios are still on the table: from securing a play-in spot, direct playoff qualification, to possible elimination. One thing is certain—if they win this game, they will at least guarantee a place in the play-in, making this match their "game of the decade."


In the previous test, the Belgrade team underperformed, especially in shooting. Crvena zvezda’s shooting completely collapsed against Real Madrid (8/38 from 3-point range), and despite grabbing 20 offensive rebounds, they couldn’t compensate for their dreadful shooting percentage.


What coach Bartzokas can take comfort in heading into this match is the excellent form of point guard Cody Miller-McIntyre, who has shown in the last three EuroLeague games that the team can rely on him.


To beat a fantastic team like Efes, however, other players must step up, particularly Nemanja Nedović and Isaiah Canaan, who have been underperforming lately.


Anadolu Efes Form & Team News


As the season reaches its final stretch, Efes are the team in the best form in the entire league.


The two-time European champions have won their last six EuroLeague games and are on track for a direct playoff spot. To achieve that, they will need victories in both of their remaining matches.


Their latest victim was Maccabi Tel Aviv, who were defeated 90-88 on neutral ground in Riga. In that game, Efes showed some of the inconsistencies that plagued them earlier in the season, but they ultimately weathered the storm and secured a crucial win. 


As has often been the case this season, Elijah Bryant led his team with 25 points, while Dan Oturu made a big impact with 15 points and a perfect shooting display.


Ahead of this match, Efes triumphed again in the domestic league, visiting Ankara to face Turk Telekom and scoring 100 points in the process. They head to Belgrade in high spirits.


According to the latest reports, coach Banchi will have a full squad at his disposal.


Head to Head


Crvena zvezda don’t have fond memories from their last two encounters with Efes, suffering defeats by 45 and 22 points. However, in their most recent meeting in Belgrade’s Arena, the Red-Whites came out on top, winning 97-83.

Verdict

Crvena zvezda’s defense has been on a high level in recent weeks, but their offense remains problematic, particularly their three-point shooting.

I believe it’s time for the best shooters of the Red-Whites to step up and deliver a solid performance. With some decent shooting percentages from beyond the arc, the hosts’ chances of winning would increase drastically.
