Red Star Meridianbet basketball team continues its journey in the EuroLeague, hosting Monaco in Belgrade in search of its first victory of the season. With one loss and one win in the first two rounds, Red Star Meridianbet faces a new challenge against Asvel in the Belgrade “Štark Arena.”
Monaco, on the other hand, seeks its first EuroLeague win after starting with two defeats against Valencia and Virtus. Coach Dusko Ivanovic emphasizes the importance of every EuroLeague game, particularly after the loss in Kaunas, expecting a tough match against an initially favored but now dangerous opponent.
While Monaco retains its core from the previous season, reaching the EuroLeague Final Four, Ivanović focuses on the quality of players rather than their familiarity, citing the addition of NBA All-Star Kemba Walker as a significant boost.
Returning to the “Štark Arena” following the loss in Kaunas provides an advantage for Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, with Ivanovic counting on the home crowd’s support as a motivating factor. However, he acknowledges Monaco’s resilience, urging his team to play patiently against a defensively solid and offensively adept opponent.
The match in the “Štark Arena” is scheduled for tomorrow at 8:00 PM.
