Umana Reyer Venezia
ItalyCurrent form
The team got into the playoffs at the last moment, taking eighth place at the end of the main tournament of the Italian championship. The club frankly lost before the start of the playoffs, because in the last five matches they managed to win only once, but still the team remained in the game.
Venice has received a leader in the face of Virtus Bologna, so there is little chance of reaching the next round. The previous match showed that Neven Spahia's team did not reach the opponent's level (85:90). The team's efforts were noticeable, but they failed to take the victory. There is an away game ahead again, where the guests will take to the floor as outsiders.
