Bookmakers Have Spoken: Zvezda Written Off Ahead of Season-Defining Barcelona Clash!

After 38 rounds, the EuroLeague regular season has concluded, revealing the six teams that have directly qualified for the playoffs, alongside four teams that will battle for quarter-final spots through the play-in tournament.

Among those four is Crvena Zvezda, who face a crucial away game against Barcelona on Tuesday. To keep their playoff hopes alive, they must secure a victory. Should they overcome the Catalan giants, they would then need to defeat either Monaco or Panathinaikos on the road.

Ahead of the clash in Catalonia, betting odds have been released, with bookmakers listing Crvena Zvezda as the underdog in Spain. Odds for a Zvezda win are hovering around 2.6 to 2.7, while Barcelona's victory is priced at approximately 1.5.

Similar odds were seen less than a month ago when Barcelona narrowly defeated Zvezda in overtime, a pivotal game that significantly impacted the EuroLeague standings.

It's worth noting that these two teams have met twice this season. In addition to their victory in Spain, Barcelona also triumphed in Belgrade with a score of 89-79.
