Crvena Zvezda will welcome Olimpia Milan on matchday one of the 2025/26 EuroLeague Basketball season. Milan won both home and away against Zvezda in last season’s European campaign. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

Crvena Zvezda edged Milan for the final play-in spot last season so there might be a bit of intensity added to this clash. They finished 10th with 18 wins in 34 games.

They, however, ended the campaign poorly and arrive for this match having lost four consecutive matches in Europe. Ioannis Sfairopoulos’s men, though coming off a win, have struggled with their form.

They defeated Dubai 80-82 last time out in the VTB Super Cup to end a four-match losing run in competitive games.

Olimpia Milan have a strong record against Zvezda. Aside from winning both meetings last season, have lost only once in this fixture since 2021. They will therefore arrive for this opener confident of beginning their season on a positive note.

Ettore Messina’s men finished last season in 11th place, narrowly missing out on the postseason with a 17-17 record. They did fairly well on the road, winning seven of 17 games.

This, however, is where they have to improve if they are to make the playoffs. Milan, who haven’t made the postseason in Europe since the 2021/22 season, won their most recent game.

This was an OT victory over fellow European rivals Virtus Bologna in the domestic Super Cup.
