Monaco will receive Alba Berlin in eight days, in its Gaston-Médecin room.

But in the event of a setback for the Berliners on Friday evening on the Efes Istanbul floor, the Monegasque Roca Team will be guaranteed a place in the top eight of the regular season, synonymous with qualification for the quarterfinals and presence in the Euroleague the next season.

Monaco, which has won six of its last seven Euroleague matches, can thus become the first club in the French championship to reach the quarter-finals of the C1 since Villeurbanne in 2000.
