The Kosner Baskonia will try to take advantage of the energy conveyed by their fans to end their bad streak in the regular Euroleague phase of the 2025-2026 season. This Wednesday, in the match against the Red Star , they are more motivated in terms of ranking.
The Vitorian team is going through a bad time in the biggest continental tournament, where it has not been able to be close to the best. The team it leads from Paolo Galbia, which is not overhelped by physical problems, has chained a bad streak of seven consecutive defeats , has also received 90 points or more , and has lost nine of its last ten matches in the Euroleague, has not won in this tournament since January 30 .
He will try to stop this dynamic with the encouragement of his fans, but in front of him he will have a rival who arrives in Vitoria with more motivation but also more pressure. The Red Star is having a good season in the tournament and will arrive in the Buesa Arenain the fight to get into the "Top 6" with 18 wins, twice as manyas the Baskonia has.
