Partizan will look to recover its usual offensive potency after being held to 72 and 75 points in the last two games and can look for Bruno Caboclo to lead the way from deep after he scored 18 points on 4 of 7 long-range shooting in the Round 16 loss to Real Madrid. Virtus is a similar story, netting just 71 and 69 points in the last two games, despite Marco Belinelli doing his usual job by sinking multiple triples. Despite those recent wobbles, the two teams are still respectively the third and sixth-highest scorers in the league, so hopes are high for an entertaining shootout.
- Virtus leads Partizan 12-6 all-time, with only four of those meetings coming this century.
- Prior to last season, the only other time they played in the EuroLeague this century was in 2002-03 when Virtus swept their regular season series.
- Partizan beat Virtus 2-1 in their best-of-three EuroLeague playoff series on the way to its only EuroLeague title in 1992. Zeljko Obradovic was the coach of Partizan, in his debut coaching season at that time.
- Virtus beat Partizan 83-61 in the semifinals of the 1998 Final Four. Current Partizan GM Zoran Savic led Virtus to the title as the Final Four MVP.
- Partizan guard Kevin Punter played for Virtus in the 2018-19 season, before making his Turkish Airlines EuroLeague debut. He helped the team win the Basketball Champions League by averaging 16.0 points per game.
- Partizan sharpshooter Danilo Andjusic played the second part of the 2012-13 season with Virtus Bologna.
- Partizan guard Kevin Punter was a teammate of Ognjen Dobric for the second part of the 2019-20 season with Crvena Zvezda.
- Dobric has been a teammate of Partizan's Danilo Andjusic, Ognjen Jaramaz, Uros Trifunovic and Aleksa Avramovic on the Serbian national team. Dobric and Avramovic won a silver medal at the 2023 Basketball World Cup.
- Virtus forward Jordan Mickey and the Partizan forward Mateusz Ponitka were teammates at Zenit St Petersburg during the 2021-22 season.
- Partizan center Balsa Koprivica grabbed a career-high 7 rebounds in a 90-62 home win against Virtus last season.
- Partizan forward Zach Leday posted his career high in steals with 4 in a road win over Virtus in March of last season.
