Partizan vs Real Madrid prediction and H2H — February 13, 2026
Partizan
Real Madrid
As part of Round 28 of the EuroLeague regular season, Partizan will take on Real Madrid. The clash is set for Belgrade on Friday, February 13, with tip-off scheduled for 20:30 Central European Time. I’m offering a pick for the winner of this matchup.
Match preview
Serbian side Partizan continues their battle for play-in spots in the 2025/26 EuroLeague season, but their position in the standings remains unstable. With every game, their playoff hopes dwindle, and a top-10 finish now seems almost out of reach.
The team has shown inconsistency throughout the campaign: there have been both convincing wins and heavy defeats, highlighting their struggle to maintain a high level of play across the regular season. For example, after suffering a painful loss to Maccabi, the Serbs rebounded with a surprise victory over Panathinaikos.
On home court in Belgrade, Partizan traditionally gets a boost from the crowd and displays much greater confidence than on the road, where they find it harder to dictate the tempo. This home advantage makes Partizan a dangerous opponent, especially when the game opens up and they can push in transition from defense to offense.
However, the Serbian squad needs to tighten up defensively and improve shot selection in crucial moments if they are to keep their hopes alive for advancing to the next stage. As things stand, their situation looks almost hopeless: just 9 wins and 17th place in the standings.
Real Madrid is one of the most decorated and recognizable clubs in EuroLeague history, and under Sergio Scariolo in the 2025/26 season, they are putting on a strong showing in the regular season, holding a spot near the top of the table. Domestically, they also lead the ACB League, reflecting their impressive form and squad depth.
This season, Madrid is playing a versatile brand of basketball, blending experienced leaders with emerging young talent. In EuroLeague play, Real has secured crucial wins against Barcelona, Milan, and Monaco, but has recently stumbled away from home, dropping three straight road games to Paris, Panathinaikos, and Dubai.
Defensive lapses and occasional late-game collapses on the road have sometimes prevented Real from fully realizing their potential. Nevertheless, their experience and deep roster keep them firmly in the hunt for a top-6 finish.
Match facts
- Partizan has won their last five home games across all competitions.

Players to watch
Facundo Campazzo is enjoying another standout season for the Madrid giants after a brief stint with Crvena Zvezda. The Argentine playmaker is excelling thanks to his trademark skills, contributing both as a scorer and a creative force.
H2H
Real Madrid has defeated Partizan in each of their last eight head-to-head meetings.
Prediction
The Serbians are capable of imposing their style at home, but against a star-studded Real Madrid side, that will be a tall order. I expect the visitors to justify their favorite status, so my pick is Real Madrid to win with a -2 point spread.
