Zvezda Before the Match with Real Madrid: All Possible Options from 6th to 10th Place
Crvena zvezda faces a test of maturity in Madrid on Thursday (20:45) in the last round of the Euroleague against Real Madrid, after which it will be clear from which position the red-and-whites will enter the playoffs.
TL;DR
- Crvena zvezda plays Real Madrid in the last Euroleague round, determining their playoff seeding.
- A 6th place finish requires Crvena zvezda to win against Real Madrid, and for Paris, Panathinaikos, and Monaco to also win their respective games.
- If Crvena zvezda wins, they could finish 7th if Monaco loses, or if Monaco wins and Panathinaikos loses, or if Zalgiris, Panathinaikos, and Monaco all win.
- The 7th position is significant as it potentially offers home-court advantage for two play-in games.
- 8th place is guaranteed with specific losses from Panathinaikos and Barcelona, coupled with a Monaco win, or with losses from Monaco and Barcelona and a Panathinaikos win.
- 9th place can be achieved if Crvena zvezda loses to Real Madrid and Monaco and Panathinaikos win while Barcelona loses, or if Panathinaikos and Barcelona win and Monaco loses at home.
- The worst-case scenario for Crvena zvezda is 10th place if they lose to Real Madrid and Monaco and Barcelona win their games.
