In the EuroLeague regular season, Monaco will face Crvena Zvezda, and I’ve prepared a prediction for this matchup. Will this be a high-scoring encounter?
Monaco
Monaco’s season is shaping up well, with the team currently sitting in seventh place in the EuroLeague standings after winning five of their eight games. In their last outing, they defeated Anadolu Efes on the road, 81-69. Despite trailing by seven points heading into the final quarter, Monaco staged a remarkable comeback, winning the final segment by a 19-point margin.
The team has also been performing strongly in the French league, with six wins out of eight games, securing them a share of second place in the standings. Aiming for a playoff berth in the EuroLeague looks achievable.
Crvena Zvezda
The Serbian club has had an inconsistent season so far. They began with three consecutive wins but followed up with four straight losses. In their most recent game, however, they secured a home victory over Alba Berlin, a top contender, with a score of 92-71.
Crvena Zvezda has won four of their eight EuroLeague matches, placing them ninth in the standings, but any slip-up could cost them a playoff spot. Domestically, they’ve rebounded after a shaky start, now boasting a five-game winning streak.
Match Facts
- Monaco has been solid at home, with three wins in four games.
- Crvena Zvezda has won two out of four away games in the EuroLeague.
- Odds the betting odds for this game are: Monaco to win: 1.32, Crvena Zvezda to win: 3.35
Key Player
Monaco’s Mike James is a player to watch, as he’s been delivering strong performances in the EuroLeague.
Head-to-Head
Monaco has a clear advantage in recent head-to-head matchups, with Crvena Zvezda losing both encounters last season.
Prediction
I agree with the bookmakers’ odds, which favor Monaco for the win. This will likely be a challenging game, as both teams are direct competitors in the standings. I believe Monaco will live up to expectations, so I’m betting on Monaco to win with a -6 point spread.
