EuroLeague Drama: Comparing Crvena Zvezda and Partizan’s Schedules Until the End of 2024
The EuroLeague continues to deliver intense competition as Crvena Zvezda and Partizan battle through the season. After 14 rounds, both Serbian clubs remain in the race for glory. Crvena Zvezda recently secured a dramatic victory in Bologna, leveling their record at seven wins and seven losses. Meanwhile, Partizan is on an upward trajectory, reigniting optimism among fans of both teams.
Crvena Zvezda – Strength and Challenges
Crvena Zvezda has shown resilience but has also squandered several opportunities, making their current 7-7 record somewhat bittersweet. Despite missed chances, the team has displayed courage in key games, such as the recent thriller against Virtus Bologna. However, they face a challenging schedule for the remainder of the year, which could test their depth and endurance.
Upcoming games include a home match against Olympiacos, where they’ll be without key players like Filip Petrušev and possibly Joel Bolomboy due to injuries. This is followed by tough encounters with Anadolu Efes, hosting Maccabi Tel Aviv, and finally a trip to Barcelona.
Crvena Zvezda’s Schedule Until the End of 2024:
- December 13: Crvena Zvezda vs. Olympiacos
- December 18: Anadolu Efes vs. Crvena Zvezda
- December 20: Crvena Zvezda vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv
- December 27: Barcelona vs. Crvena Zvezda
Partizan’s Momentum and Opportunities
On the other hand, Partizan currently holds a 6-8 record but is riding a four-game winning streak, including a commanding 91-73 victory over Panathinaikos. The team’s recent performance under coach Željko Obradović highlights their potential to turn the season around.
Their schedule appears more favorable compared to their Belgrade rivals. Partizan will visit Alba Berlin, one of the weaker teams, before hosting Asvel. They close the year with challenges against Anadolu Efes and Fenerbahçe, but their current form gives them hope for even greater success.
