BEL vs MOS Dream11: CSKA Moscow will be looking to snap their two-game skid in EuroLeague when they face Crvena Zvezda in round-25 at Stark Arena on Friday night (IST). Moscow are the defending champions and are currently sitting fourth in the EuroLeague table, having won 16 times in 24 games. Their five-game winning run was snapped by current EuroLeague leaders Anadolu Efes, with the team dropping a second consecutive game against Olympiacos, which was their last outing in EuroLeague. They recovered from those two defeats with two wins in VTB United League, beating Astana and Calev / Cramo.
Crvena Zvezda, meanwhile, are hard-pressed for a win as well as they look to get into the top-8 in the table. They are 12th heading into this game but face only a one-game deficit in the playoff race.
