Maccabi Tel Aviv BC have been more prolific, scoring 608 points, but they have also conceded 653. That defensive record, including 113 points allowed against Real Madrid Baloncesto and 90 at Panathinaikos BC, has been the main problem in their season.

Hyper2Play's own model, which weighs points per game, points difference, recent form and home advantage, rates KK Crvena zvezda at 84% to win and Maccabi Tel Aviv BC at 16%. The model's pick is KK Crvena zvezda, with high confidence.

The hosts' stronger league position, sturdier defence and home court explain the gap, while Maccabi Tel Aviv BC's scoring gives them a route back into the game. This is a model estimate, not a guarantee.
