Olympiacos - Barcelona (21:00, 5 + LIVE)

Just two weeks ago the unstable Greeks in Yad Eliyahu celebrated a third consecutive victory in the Euroleague, and seemed to be on the right track.

Now, Olympiacos already has three consecutive losses, and she knows that a home loss against the leader and she will go down to a negative balance.

Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, have lately looked like their coach Aaronas Jasikevicius wants.

The Catalans come away with five consecutive victories, including a very impressive away win over CSKA, which set up a shift change at the top of the Euroleague.

Milan - Zenit St.

Petersburg (21:45, 5stars)

The Italians are in great shape for the battle for the top spot, and have already counted five consecutive victories, including an impressive away win over Real Madrid and another home win over the mighty Bayern Munich.

Zenit, on the other hand, has won five of its last seven games, but comes after an away loss against Barcelona in a game in which it was large behind in most stages of the game.

The two teams did not meet in the first round due to the eruption of Corona from which the Russians then suffered, and in fact meet for the first time this season.

Last season the two teams managed to meet once before the league was stopped, and then Messina’s team scored a dramatic 72:73 at home.

Moscow Khimki - Fenerbahce (19:00, 5 + LIVE)

Igor Kokushkov's team is already on the verge of the top eight (equal balance to Anadolu Zero in eighth place) and with seven consecutive wins under its belt, it can certainly be said that Fenerbahce has signed one of the most impressive comebacks of the season, after appearing off quite a few games.

On the other side will be the lock of the table, which may this time hope to interrupt the terrible sequence of losses, which currently stands at 13.
