Head-to-head record and psychological advantage of Crvena zvezda

Head-to-head duels between Crvena zvezda and Virtus in recent years have brought several very striking games, and statistics are on the side of the Belgrade squad: overall, Crvena zvezda has six wins in eight meetings, while Virtus has celebrated only twice, including meetings in the EuroCup and EuroLeague. Particularly impressive is Zvezda's performance on the home court, where it has a one hundred percent success rate in this pairing, so every new game in Štark Arena further feeds the impression that Virtus encounters one of the toughest away games in the entire EuroLeague here. In memory remain convincing victories of Crvena zvezda in Belgrade, such as the triumph with a large margin in March 2025, as well as dramatic duels in Bologna where Zvezda broke the host's resistance in the final moments. Such a head-to-head record and home tradition explain why tickets for this game are so sought after, why ticket sales are progressing day by day, and why fans are advised to buy tickets as early as possible.

Current form: Crvena zvezda seeks new momentum, Virtus arrives shooting well

Ahead of this clash, Crvena zvezda comes from a series of games in which it combined big home wins and an occasional painful defeat against the strongest rivals, such as Barcelona, which further intensifies the desire to show a reaction in front of its audience. Recent triumphs against Olympiacos in the EuroLeague and convincing victories in the regional league confirm that the team has depth and rotation width, but also that the energy of the Belgrade stands often makes the difference in key moments. Virtus Bologna has recently recorded very good results, with several consecutive victories in the Italian championship and important EuroLeague celebrations, for example against Maccabi and other direct competitors, which says that a team rising in form is coming to Belgrade. Such a clash between a spirited Virtus and Crvena zvezda seeking new momentum in front of a full Štark Arena guarantees an audience on their feet from the first to the last minute. Precisely because of this, ticket sales are intensive, tickets for this game are constantly being searched for, and buying tickets already occupies an important place in the planning of December evenings for basketball lovers. Secure your tickets for this event immediately!

Attacking assets of Crvena zvezda: rotation width and creating mismatches

Crvena zvezda enters this season with an extremely rich perimeter and interior line, so fans rightfully expect an attractive attack and a lot of variety. Jordan Nwora and Chima Moneke stand out as players who bring points and energy, often finishing matches with double-digit performance, while Tyson Carter and Semi Ojeleye widen the defense with their shooting and physical play at the forward positions. Jared Butler and Codi Miller-McIntyre are in charge of organizing the game, controlling the rhythm, and creating out of the pick-n-roll, and Yago Dos Santos and other guards additionally speed up the transition whenever Zvezda manages to steal the ball or close the rebound. In such a system, tall players like Donatas Motiejunas, Ebuka Izundu, or Uroš Plavšić also get a lot of situations under the rim and at mid-range, which further complicates the preparation of opposing defenses. All this gives additional charm to fans who plan to buy tickets and choose tickets as close to the court as possible to follow every move of their stars up close; ticket sales are therefore accelerated, and tickets for this event particularly attract those who want to see how this attacking machinery handles the disciplined defense of Virtus.

Virtus Bologna: experienced perimeter line and European champions on the road

On the opposite side of the floor waits Virtus Bologna, a club of rich tradition and the current champion of Italy, which has a combination of experience and new faces ready for a step forward in the EuroLeague in its ranks. Luka Vildoza, who has already performed for Crvena zvezda, now as the leader of the Virtus perimeter line brings a shooting threat, lucid passes, and the experience of winning the EuroLeague, while Daniel Hackett and Alessandro Pajola are known as top defensive guards who can slow down even the most dangerous opposing playmakers. Carsen Edwards and Matt Morgan add explosiveness in attack, while forward players like Derrick Alston Jr., Karim Jallow, Nicolas Akelea, and tall players Aliou Diarra and Mouhamet Diouf provide width, rebounding, and the ability to switch in defense. Such depth of the squad makes Virtus a very dangerous opponent, especially in moments when their perimeter line "flammably" hits several three-pointers in a row. Precisely because of this clash of styles, interest in tickets is high: fans who follow the European scene know that this is a rare opportunity to see so many quality guards in one place, so ticket sales are accelerated, buying tickets is becoming more current, and tickets for this event are increasingly desirable.

Tactical duel on the floor of Štark Arena

Tactically speaking, the meeting Crvena zvezda – Virtus Bologna promises a real little chess match on the floor, in which the coaches of both teams will try to impose a rhythm that suits them. Zvezda will certainly seek a more aggressive tempo in front of the full stands of Štark Arena, with a lot of contact, rebounding play, and transition, using the width of the squad to exhaust the opponent and open space for easy points from counterattacks. Virtus, on the other hand, might insist on a more controlled rhythm, long attacks, and seeking mismatches for its experienced scorers and creators, like Vildoza or Hackett, who know how to play under pressure and calm the game when it is most tense. The question of rebounding and defensive transition will be key: whoever closes the rim better and prevents easy points will have a significant advantage in such an evenly matched duel. Precisely because of these tactical nuances, many fans want to personally observe the meeting, so ticket sales are additionally boosted, tickets for this duel gain value in fan conversations, and buying tickets is a completely logical step for anyone who loves watching basketball analytically.

Belgrade as a basketball city and the experience before and after the game

Belgrade is a city where basketball has a special place, with two large fan bases, a rich history of derbies, and a tradition that has produced a whole galaxy of top players and coaches. On the day of a EuroLeague game, special energy is felt in the city space: cafes and restaurants in New Belgrade and the center are full of fans in jerseys, debates about player form and result predictions are conducted from early afternoon, and a walk along the Sava and Danube turns into an introduction to the evening spectacle. Many fans from other cities and countries come to Belgrade precisely because of such games, combining basketball with a tourist tour of the city, outings, and gastronomy.

Practical information for arrival and stay around Štark Arena

Štark Arena is located in New Belgrade, well connected by public transport and access roads, which makes it easier for fans to arrive from different parts of the city and surroundings.

Especially for fans from other cities and countries, it is important to connect two key things on time: buying tickets and organizing the trip, including the choice of accommodation. Before the final decision on tickets, you can check accommodation close to the venue, in order to easier coordinate the time of arrival, departure, and return after the game.

In that case, it is particularly useful to explore accommodation for fans on the day of the game on time, compare locations in New Belgrade, the center, or along the river promenades, and decide how close you want to be to Štark Arena.

Fan traditions and atmosphere in the stands

Cheering at Crvena zvezda games in Štark Arena combines a tradition spanning decades with modern production and choreographies that follow the rhythm of drums, banners, and songs. It is known that the home audience creates one of the loudest and most intense atmospheres in the EuroLeague, where fans stand, sing, and cheer for the team the whole time, and every three-point shot or important rebound causes an eruption of enthusiasm. The arrival of Virtus, a club with its own rich fan tradition, further raises the stakes, as a group of visiting fans from Bologna is also expected, who will try to give loud support to their team. Such a clash of fan styles creates a special framework in which every ball, every foul, and every point gains additional weight. For neutral basketball lovers, this is an opportunity to experience what it means when the hall breathes as one, and for home fans, it is another opportunity to show why the atmosphere at their games is talked about throughout Europe. Ticket sales therefore do not stop from the moment it was announced that the game will be played in Štark Arena, tickets for this game become part of fan identity, and buying tickets is a natural step for anyone who wants to be part of that wall of sound.

Possible game scenarios and key moments on the floor

Although it is difficult to precisely predict the course of the game, there are clear scenarios that impose themselves based on the performances of both teams so far in the 2025/2026 season. If Crvena zvezda manages to establish dominance in rebounding early and use the width of its rotation, the pattern from some earlier home victories over Virtus could be repeated, in which series of easy points from transition and aggressive defense broke the guests' resistance already in the third quarter. On the other hand, if Virtus Bologna imposes a slower rhythm, controls turnovers, and relies on the experience of guards like Vildoza, Hackett, and Pajola, the game could enter an uncertain finish in which one possession, free throws, or an inspired moment of an individual will decide. In both cases, it is a meeting that is incomparably more impressive live than in front of a TV screen, especially when the audience reacts to every referee's whistle and every mini-series of points. Precisely because of this, fans are already checking ticket sales, choosing tickets according to whether they want to be closer to the floor or in the fan sector, and planning the purchase of tickets for the whole group. Tickets for this event will be the key to participating in an evening full of drama, and not just observing from a distance. Secure your tickets for this event immediately!
