Command Analysis
Monaco
FranceCurrent form
The Euroleague leader continues to prove its strength and consistently perform at the highest level. Monaco confidently occupies the first line of the tournament table, although the pressure from competitors remains strong. The last match was another demonstration of class, because the team crushed Alba (105:90). The game showed that even against outsiders, Monaco maintains high concentration.
Mike James was especially bright, scoring 23 points, becoming the key player of the match. Spanoulis Vasilis's team plays confident and aggressive basketball, especially on the home court, where the club demonstrates its best performance. The next match against Barcelona will be an important test for the leader, as the opponent is always dangerous.

Barcelona
SpainCurrent form
The Catalan club is fighting for a place in the top ten, but this season has been extremely difficult for the team. Barcelona is in tenth place in the standings and is trying to find stability in its game. After two defeats in a row, the team was able to rehabilitate itself by beating Paris (90:79).
The main hero of this meeting was Guillermo Hernangomez, who scored a double-double. Despite this success, the team's game still has problems. Barcelona has a tough trip to Monaco, where the hosts are considered favorites. Joan Peñarroya's charges must find additional resources to put up a fight against one of the strongest clubs in the tournament.
