Of course, no one could expect that Crvena Zvezda will beat Barcelona at home. The Serbs did fight though and lost 76-65. But two days earlier they shocked Olimpia at Milano. The "Reds" from Belgrade were absolutely wonderful at Milano and get a convincing and well-deserved win. Jordan Loyd, of course, with 17 points has been Zvezda's main threat for the Italian side. 

They need to be tough if they want to beat Efes tonight. The Istanbul side is one of Euroleague's best teams and you have to give your very best if you want to claim anything from them. So as few as possible turnovers, rebounds, and controlling the pace of the game might give the Serbs another win. 

They lost at home from Bayern Munich 71-74, but they won on the road Khimki 77-105. A strange double-round week for Efes. The most optimistic thing for coach Ataman was that when his team needed to fight for the win at Moscow, they performed at their very best. And this is how he hopes they will play in Belgrade too. And if they won't underestimate the hosts, they can win this game. 

Tibor Pleiss and Sertac Sanli in the paint and Micic and Simon will be the players that will determine if Efes will get the away win tonight at Belgrade. Those players have an important role in the game of Efes and will have to carry the team at their back for yet another night. Especially Micic, because if Efes can rebound and run, it is a very hard team to stop.

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is Crvena Zvezda v Anadolu Efes 2-6.

Krunslav Simon is having the best season in his career so far. He is Efes' top scorer with 14.6 points and also dishes 3.6 assists per game. He likes to go to low post and also is unbeatable in one-on-one situations. A great shooter as well, especially behind the arc. Tonight he will face Jordan Loyd and he will be troubled. especially in penetrations. Loyd is an athletic guard/forward and it won't be easy for Simon.  Loyd is an excellent shooter as well. An interesting match-up.
