A new eternal derby is upon us, the second semi-final duel of the ABA League, where Red Star and Partizan will measure their strengths. The Black-Whites lead 1-0 in the series, but Red Star has the home advantage and will undoubtedly create a fiery atmosphere in the Aleksandar Nikolić Hall to support their team.

Before this duel, we asked Chat GPT for a prediction of the game's outcome. The artificial intelligence anticipates a tough match compared to the first one, which saw a high number of points, and predicts a narrow Red Star victory.

- I expect a tough and nervous match, quite different from the first game which ended with over 100 points for KK Partizan. Partizan leads 1-0 after a 100-94 victory and now has the ball to reach the finals, while Red Star plays under huge pressure in front of its fans.

- My impression is that Red Star is a slight favorite tonight due to the home field and I expect a reaction after a poor start in the first match. The Red-Whites seemed to only find their rhythm in the last quarter when they almost closed a -20 deficit.

Key Factors

  • If Partizan shoots from beyond the arc as in the first game, they can control the match.
  • If Red Star slows the pace and turns the game into a positional one, it suits them better.
  • The psychological moment is enormous - Partizan plays nervously because they have the advantage in the series, but Red Star knows that a loss practically ends the season.
  • I expect an equal final, fewer points than in the first game, and very likely a close finish. My tip is a Red Star win by 4-8 points, something like 82-76, according to the Chat GPT analysis.
