Friday night's EuroLeague Round 18 action features Virtus vs. ASVEL, Bayern vs. Panathinaikos, Baskonia vs. Paris, Partizan vs. Fenerbahce, and Barcelona vs. Crvena Zvezda, according to BasketNews.

Red-hot ASVEL (8-9) will aim for a fourth consecutive win as they visit Virtus (4-13), which gained confidence from last week's home victory over Barcelona.

A clash near the top of the standings sees Panathinaikos (10-7) travel to face co-leader Bayern (11-6), hoping to become the first team this season to secure a road win against the German powerhouse.

Paris (11-5) will look to bounce back from a two-game skid when they visit Baskonia (7-10). This matchup will be emotional for Paris coach Tiago Splitter, who returns to his former club. Both teams are eager for a turnaround, with Baskonia losing three of their last four games.

Meanwhile, Partizan (7-10) hosts Fenerbahce (10-6) in a meeting of two teams desperate for a change in momentum. The Turkish side has dropped four of its last five games, while Partizan is reeling from back-to-back losses in last week's double-header.

Finally, two playoff hopefuls square off as Barcelona (9-8) welcomes Zvezda (9-8) in a crucial battle to strengthen their postseason aspirations.
