Quick Picks
Our pick: Barcelona to win
Value bet: Over 168.5 points in the total point market
Long shot: Crvena zvezda in the handicap
Betting Preview
The winner of this game will take on the loser between Panathinaikos and Monaco in the Play-In Path C game, while the loser will see their 2025/26 EuroLeague competition come to an end.
Then, whoever wins that game will advance to the first round and play in a best-of-five series against the #1 seed, Olympiacos.
It should be a tight contest, as both Barcelona and Crvena zvezda had near-identical regular-season campaigns.
Both would win 21 of their 38 games (17 defeats), claiming the final two postseason spots by two victories from Dubai.
Barcelona would have a slightly better point differential of 20 compared to the Serbians (42), as the Crvena zvezda would concede 3,245 (scored 3,287) against Barcelona's 3,147 (scored 3,167).
Over the last 10 EuroLeague games, both teams have been a little inconsistent. Barcelona went 4-6, whereas Crvena zvezda were 5-5.
Betting Markets to Watch
It's worth noting that Barcelona had a strong home record in EuroLeague games, going 12-7 as hosts. For Crvena zvezda, they didn't travel all that well, as they ended their regular-season campaign 8-11.
It's perhaps why the Spanish side are the early betting favourites.
Barcelona also won the two meetings played this season, although the most recent required overtime.
That happened to be in Spain, where the game finished 75-75 in regulation, before the hosts won 92-88.
Earlier in the season, Barcelona won 89-79 in Serbia. Games are very close, as two of the last five have required overtime (both Barcelona wins), while the Spaniards have won nine of the last 10 (three overtime).
Looking at betting markets, the total points (including overtime) option offers some value, particularly in the 'Over'.
The line has been set at 168.5, and recent games have seen this be eclipsed. Both teams feature explosive wings that can often score large point totals.
Elsewhere, there may be value in the Crvena zvezda handicap line at 4.5 points.
As the underdogs, there's every chance they cover the spread, given how competitive fixtures are between these two teams.
Games have been within four points in three of the last five H2Hs.
