LiontipsBarcelona - Red Star. Forecast and bets on the Euroleague match
Command Analysis
Current form
This season, the Catalans even led the Euroleague, but their unstable play forced them to fight for a place in the top ten. The team alternates victories with defeats, which affects the overall position in the table.
In the last round, Barcelona lost to Virtus (81:86), although they looked no worse than their opponents. Joan Peñarroya and his team understand that the upcoming meeting against a direct competitor is an excellent opportunity to rehabilitate themselves, especially at home.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nicolas Laprovittola, Chimezie Metu and Raul Neto will miss the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
Barcelona have won their last five head-to-head matches.
Estimated lineup: Parker - Anderson, Vesely - Satoransky, Panter.
Current form
The Serbian club is also experiencing difficulties, but is trying to improve its situation. Currently, Crvena Zvezda is in ninth place, which makes the upcoming game important for both sides.
In the previous round, the team beat Maccabi Tel Aviv (81:73), where Joel Bolomboy showed an excellent game, scoring 19 points. Ioannis Sferopoulos charges understand the importance of the meeting and are preparing to give Barcelona a fight.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ognjen Dobric, Branko Lazić and Milos Teodosic will not help their team due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
In the current Euroleague competition, the Serbian club has won four away games.
Estimated lineup: Petrusev - Kalinic, Bolomboy - Miller-McIntyre, Kanaan.

Only 2 of the last 5 head-to-head games have seen more than 42 points scored in the first quarter.
1.83Tip and bets
Crvena Zvezda is trying to stabilize its game in order to stay in the top ten of the Euroleague. But the history of head-to-head meetings does not speak in their favor, and it is not surprising that the Serbian club approaches the match as an underdog.
More is expected from Barcelona, as tenth place is clearly not the team level. We assume that the Catalans will learn from their recent mistakes and will be able to use the advantage of the home arena to achieve an important victory over a direct competitor.
Our prediction is a Barcelona victory with a handicap of (-6) points at 1.71
Bet on total
Playing on home court allows Barcelona to be number one, especially against such a principled opponent. At the same time, Crvena Zvezda will do everything in their power to impose a fight, so we can expect an open and productive confrontation.
Forecast - total over 166.5 points for 1.71
Bet on statistics
We expect the Catalans to reveal their attacking potential at home. The defense of Crvena Zvezda cannot be called reliable now, and Barcelona will certainly take advantage of this. We suggest betting on the individual total of the hosts over.
Prediction - Barcelona individual total over 87.5 points for 1.90
