Zvezda (4-9) hopes that home comforts can provide a respite from two narrow road losses as it hosts ALBA (2-11), which will battle to escape the bottom of the standings.

Having allowed at least 83 points in each of the last six games, Zvezda will look to significantly improve that stat against ALBA's next-to-last offense (76.7 points per game). There's a huge disparity in rebounding between the teams, too, with Zvezda ranked fourth (36.7 boards per game) and ALBA 15th (31.6), so the visitors will need somebody to help Johannes Thiemann control the physical play of Joel Bolomboy and Luka Mitrovic.
Ioannis Sfairopoulos, Zvezda head coach
"ALBA is a team that has length, big bodies, players who have been playing for a long time in the EuroLeague, young hopes, Americans who have come to raise the quality. We expect everyone to return from injuries. They will play with a full roster and we will be focused to play well from the beginning, to be like that until the end, and to win."
Dejan Davidovac, Zvezda player
"We have a tough game ahead of us. We know that ALBA has been a difficult opponent for us so far. We hope to win. It will be very important for us to triumph; we are aware of that, and we are ready. We had a bad start in the previous two games, we need to start better, to play a lot better on defense, to be more aggressive, more physically dominant and to impose our own rhythm from the start. Among other things, that will be the key to this match."
