Crvena Zvezda, currently positioned sixth in the Euroleague standings with 17 victories, is looking to solidify its place in the playoffs. Following a recent win against Istanbul's Anadolu Efes, where they triumphed 91-81, the team is gaining momentum under the leadership of coach Svetislav Pesic, who has helped the team secure four consecutive wins since his arrival.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich is struggling, having faced two consecutive defeats. They lost to Tel Aviv's Maccabi with a score of 111-106 and then were defeated by Real Madrid 93-70. These setbacks have put the team under pressure as they prepare to face Crvena Zvezda again, hoping to bounce back from their adverse streak.

In their previous encounter earlier in the season, Bayern displayed a strong performance that led them to a 97-88 victory over Crvena Zvezda. As they gear up for this rematch, both teams will be keen on proving themselves and securing a crucial win that could impact the Euroleague standings significantly.
