Partizan vs Cibona Odds
Partizan Team News
Partizan enters this duel after an excellent edition in the EuroLeague and a victory over Asvel, which gained confidence for the rest of the season. He will try to confirm that in the next match against the Croatian team, which has the role of a big outsider.
The black and whites were worried about the match with the French team. Given how Asvel played against the Crvena Zvezda, the question is how well T.J. Parker’s team can go against anyone. That’s why it was important for Partizan not to lose points in places like Villeurbanne. That can ultimately have a big impact on the outcome of the entire season. What was shown in that meeting was the top game of Zeljko Obradovic team in defense. Only 62 received points speak enough about how much energy the current ABA League champion entered that match. The most outstanding was Zach LeDay with 13 points, seven rebounds, as well as steals, blocks and assists. He was the engine of Obradovic team, winning by 26 points and making a good prelude to the duel with Cibona.
Considering that the match against the team from Zagreb comes very quickly, less than 48 hours after the match against Asvel, it is logical to expect that Obradovic will distribute the minutes evenly and that he will rest some players. Even in such a case, expecting any epilogue other than win is difficult.
Before this game, Cibona beat Skrljevo 76:58 in the domestic championship, so it is introduced in the best way to the third round of the regional championship. Every win is good, even if it was against a less reputable rival.
Before that, “Wolves” were defeated by FMP, and they should draw confidence from that game, perhaps even more than from the mentioned win. The impression is that Cibona played a very high-quality match, properly tormented the “Panthers”, who had to make a decisive difference only in the very end. Jaksa Vulic’s team did not give up at any moment, even when it was plus nine, with a minute and a half to go. With that, Cibona proved true fighting spirit, which is imperative, given the situation she is in. Alex Stein with 18 and Tomislav Buljan with 16 were the most important players of the Zagreb club against FMP and it is expected that they will continue in the same rhythm as the season progresses. There is no statistical parameter in which Cibona was bad in that game. On the contrary, the shooting percentages were superb, but it was simply not enough for anything more than a loss in an uncertain ending.
Now Vulic’s team faces an even more difficult task. To celebrate in Belgrade against the EuroLeague team. They didn’t do that even when the balance of power was more equal, so it’s hard to expect something like that to happen. What is certain is that Cibona will not give up and will try to offer as much resistance as possible to the current champion.

Partizan vs Cibona Prediction
The ratio in quality is simply too great to expect anything but a sure win for Partizan, who achieved a historic performance in the first two rounds of the ABA League. The score difference of plus 72 has not been seen so far after two rounds in the regional league, and there is every chance that the black and white will continue in the same manner against the next rival. Therefore, our proposal is that Obradovic team will win by a margin greater than the offered handicap.
