Asvel vs Partizan: Analysis and Prediction – Asvel and Partizan will play a match in the second round of EuroLeague.
Asvel vs Partizan Odds
Asvel Team News
Unlike the duel against Crvena Zvezda, Aswell decided to enter the EuroLeague clash this time by winning the domestic championship. T. J. Parker’s team was better than Nancy with a convincing 89:64, thus gaining a certain amount of self-confidence before the next meeting.
Against Nancy, Asvel wanted to let his rival know from the very start that he would not allow two setbacks in a row in the French championship. He easily solved the first part in his favor and steered the game in the desired direction. The most effective were Frank Jackson with 20 points and Mike Scott with 13, which on the one hand can be encouraging before the season continues. Only in one hand, since the question is how much Nancy is a parameter for Partizan. The entire Asvel squad did not have their night against Crvena Zvezda, which is closer to the level of Zeljko Obradovic’s team than Nancy. When that match is taken into account, Jackson and Scott were completely powerless, so maybe they shouldn’t be counted on as serious threats to the Belgrade basket. The one for whom the next match will be special is Joffrey Lauvergne, a former black and white player, who is only contracted to the French team. When it comes to emotions, things are already different.
For now, Asvel does not seem like a team that knows what it wants. Compared to last season, when Parker’s squad had some big wins, like the one in Barcelona, it now seems like science fiction. Of course, the sample of one match is too small, and time will tell if the French team can rise.
Partizan Team News
In the second round of the ABA League, Partizan beat Krka by 40 points, but that cannot be a consolation for the previous defeat against Maccabi in Tel Aviv. The Slovenian team had no chance to get close, let alone threaten, so the very sure triumph of the black and whites is not a surprise at all.
Similarly with Asvel, the question is how much Krka measured before the Euroleague match. It is not a question, it is not a measure. Obradovic himself pointed out that the quality between the two teams was simply too high, which made it clear that in this duel there was not so much to say about the tactics and readiness of one or the other team for miniatures from the other side. It should be noted that Aleksa Avramovic was again at a high level. For him, it doesn’t matter if it’s on the other side of Krka or Real Madrid, the black and white defender will play to the maximum against anyone. For now, Avramovic entered the season very well offensively, but the impression is that defensively he is not yet at the level of the FIBA World Cup, when he caused big problems for NBA stars as well.
Partizan now expects a game in which there is no imperative to win, which is logical, given that it is only the second round. However, it is certain that Obradovic would not like to repeat the experience of last season, when right after the defeat against Asvel in France, the team was at the lowest point of the season, which was followed by an upswing. The trophy specialist will watch to save this time there will be fewer oscillations on the way to the desired goal and the best possible position in the playoff.

Asvel vs Partizan Prediction
Both teams showed very weak games in the first EuroLeague round, primarily on the defensive side. What could take away the advantage in this meeting is the lack of aggressiveness of Asvel, who defended the three-point shot poorly against Crvena Zvezda. This is where Partizan is the strongest, so our proposal is that Obradovic’s team will make up for the mistakes in the defense of the rivals on that side, which will be enough to win by a margin greater than the offered handicap.
