BAR vs BEL Dream11: Having responded to the big defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv with a win in the last round, Barcelona will look to keep the momentum going when they host Crvena Zvezda in EuroLeague round-21 match at Palau Blaugrana on Thursday night (IST). Crvena Zvezda, on the other hand, are hard-pressed for a win as well, having dropped the last two games against Zalgiris Kaunas and Alba Berlin. They slipped out of the playoffs position as a result.
Head-to-head:
This will be the 8th meeting between these two teams in EuroLeague since 2000. Barcelona lead the head-to-head record with 5 wins. Both the teams won their respective home games last season.
