Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (15-17) EuroLeague campaign is coming to an end.

Even though Crvena Zvezda won against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, a victory in this game won't mean much since Zalgiris Kaunas and Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz achieved victories in their own games.

Crvena Zvezda could achieve 17 wins as well but the Serbian powerhouse doesn't have a tie-breaker against Zalgiris or Baskonia who are currently in tied-8th place in the EuroLeague standings.

After a 1-6 start at the beginning of the season, Crvena Zvezda bounced back with a 6-game winning streak.

It seemed that with Facundo Campazzo's arrival, Crvena Zvezda would continue their rise, but EuroLeague imposed a new players registration ban, and the Argentinian guard made his EuroLeague season debut only in March.

Crvena Zvezda played in the EuroLeague for the last four years, but, likely, the only way to clinch their spot in the next season's campaign is by winning the ABA League.
