ZEN vs BEL Dream11 Match Prediction

ZEN vs BEL Dream11: Following the win in the last game, both Crvena Zvezda and Zenit Saint Petersburg will be aiming to build on that positive result when these two teams face each other in EuroLeague round-16 match at Yubileyny Sports Palace, on Friday night (IST).

Form:

• Both the teams have struggled for consistency so far in the season, especially Zenit, who are second from bottom coming into this game.
• Zenit may have won the last game against Fenerbahce, but the wins have been few and far between.
• It was only their fourth win in the first 16 EuroLeague games.
• Crvena Zvezda, on the other hand, have fared relatively well in Europe, as they sit 12th on the points table.
• But before winning 88-81 against Olympiacos, they dropped two straight games, and that’s the reason why they slipped down the table, and outside the playoff positions.

Head-to-head:

This will be the first-ever meeting between these two teams in official EuroLeague games.
