Baskonia vs Partizan: Analysis and Prediction – Baskonia and Partizan will play a game in the EuroLeague sixth round.
Baskonia vs Partizan Odds
Baskonia Team News
The past period for Baskonia was very turbulent. After five defeats in a row in all competitions, this team changed its coach, so instead of Joan Penarroya, Dusko Ivanovic came to the well-known place.
That’s why past games can’t be a parameter when we talk about what’s to come. Penarroy’s and Ivanovic’s game philosophies differ greatly. The Montenegrin coach is much more demanding and does not allow so much freedom in the game of his team, while Penarroya is more liberal in this sense. Therefore, in the coming period, we should expect that players like Marcus Howard will have a somewhat different rhythm, as well as that the change of coach will affect him the most. Cody Miller-McIntyre was the most notable against Andorra with 16 points, while Vanja Marinkovic added 15. It was the last game under the leadership of Penarroya.
Now the team from Vitoria expects a new reality and the players will certainly need some time to get used to it. The first challenge will not be easy at all, so it is clear that the change of coach did not come at the best time. Now Ivanovic will have to build everything from scratch, and the real picture of the team is expected only in about a month.
Partizan Team News
Partizan has a very successful period behind it, in which they beat Crvena Zvezda twice – both in the ABA League and in the EuroLeague. It will certainly be additional confidence for Zeljko Obradovic’s team before the challenges in the coming period.
Two wins over the biggest rival was exactly what Obradović’s team needed after some unexpected setbacks in the regional championship, but also painful defeats in the European competition. Finally, the NBA reinforcements played as they should – Frank Kaminski scored 22 points in the last win over the Crvena Zvezda, and P.J. Dozier added 12, along with eight assists, showing the versatility of his game. Despite all that, Aleksa Avramovic was standardly good in the finals and most deserving of the fact that the black and whites came out of those matches with a score of 2-0.
What is still not at the required level is the defense of Partizan, which seems to be getting better from game to game, but still not enough. And in the next duel, they will have a big test against the exceptional guards of Baskonia.

Baskonia vs Partizan H2H
In the last 10 meetings, Baskonia won six times.
Absences and Injuries
Nikos Rogkavopoulos will be absent from the home team, while Dani Diez, Khalifa Diop, Markus Howard and Nico Mannion are questionable. The visitors are not counting on Kevin Punter and Mateusz Ponitka.
Baskonia vs Partizan Prediction
Dusko Ivanovic knows the Partizan system very well, with which he has met many times in the past period as the coach of Crvena Zvezda. Undoubtedly, because of this, the challenge before the black and whites will be more demanding, so we should expect an uncertain match, in which the two teams will score more points than the offered limit, because they are two top offensive teams, which in this way crush the resistance rival.
