Already two of the giants - AX Armani Exchange Milan and CSKa Moscow- displayed an all-out intensity on every play, even from the first game of the season.

Round 1: Perfect starts from the home teams

The 2021-22 regular season begun with the home teams waxing strong with a 4-0 win ratio during their first opening matches of the season. It would appear that the advantage of playing in familiar grounds returns after last year’s lack of spectators. Let’s take a look at the teams participating this year in alphabetical order:

Alba Berlin

Anadolu Efes Istanbul

AS Monaco

AX Armani Exchange Milan

Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz

Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade

CSKA Moscow

FC Barcelona

FC Bayern Munich

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul

LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv

Olympiacos Piraeus

Panathinaikos OPAP Athens

Real Madrid

UNICS Kazan

Zalgiris Kaunas

Zenit St Petersburg

Khimki Moscow Region and Valencia have been replaced by the newcomers AS Monaco and the returning UNICS Kazan. So we have 2 unknown factors for this year’s equation.

The usual suspects

It would be fair to say that Real Madrid, CSKA Moscow, Anadolu Efes and Fenerbahce still present themselves as the main candidates for the final four. However, this year we seem to have a much stronger opposition. Maccabi has a completely new team, FC Bayern will be a tough nut to crack and we have an Olympiacos Piraeus which is also an unknown factor as the legend of Vasilis Spanoulis has retired from active duty and it will be interesting to see how his team will fair without his leadership and scoring capabilities.

Panathinaikos OPAP is also a completely new team with a new coach and not expected to play any significant part. Zenit, Zalgiris, Alba, Baskonia and Barcelona will probably set the pace and determine which team will advance to the next round and which one will try their luck again next year.

As the competition progresses, we will be recapping what goes on so that you can have a clear picture of the situation. You will need of course to stay tuned to our news section.
