Baskonia Team News
Two days ago, Baskonia struggled with Alba, but in the end, they won. Now they have a much more complex game ahead of them, which could decide whether Joan Penarroy’s team will play in the quarter-finals of the Euroleague or not.
Predictions say that Baskonia will need a minimum of 18 wins. In addition to the expected triumph against Asvel, winning either Fenerbahce or Olympiacos away will be necessary, and game with Fener is a much easier mission. Baskonia has played a season beyond all expectations, and this is a match where they will have to shine. In Vitoria they have a record of 12-3 in the Euroleague, which shows with which motivation they play every time in the “Fernando Buesa Arena.”
Baskonia scored less than 90 points in the Euroleague only three times this season. That speaks how good their offense is. Markus Howard and Darius Thompson lead it, and if the defense be at least at a decent level, they can also expect a good result this time.
Fenerbahce Team News
Fenerbahce couldn’t resist Real Madrid in previous match, and now their score is 18-13. The schedule is not favorable to them, and there are several scenarios in which the Istanbul club would even lose a place in the top 8 if they lose all three remaining matches.
Apart from the season’s first two months, Fenerbahce did not look like one of the best Euroleague teams. The defense was rarely at the highest level, while the offense was only good when they hit shots from a distance. That was the case in Belgrade against Partizan when Marko Guduric and Dyshawn Pierre had the best shooting night of the season. In next match, the problem may be that coach Dimitris Itoudis cannot count on Scottie Wilbekin.
With a win against Baskonia, Fenerbahce would mathematically secure a place in the playoffs. That is enough motivation for the visitors to play a good match. Physically, they are certainly much more potent than Baskonia, and they will look for their chance mainly at the low post in the “one-on-one” game.
Baskonia vs Fenerbahce H2H
In the first part of the season, Baskonia surprised Fenerbahce in Istanbul when the result was 76:70. In the last ten matches in the Euroleague, Fenerbahce defeated the opponent from Vitoria seven times.
Expected Lineups
Pierria Henry and Tadas Sedekerskis will not play for Baskonia in this match. Fenerbahce went to Spain without Dyshawn Pierre and Scottie Wilbekin, while Melih Mahmotoglou is questionable.
Baskonia vs Fenerbahce Prediction
Fenerbahce is far from their best form, and the best indicator is the shocking defeat against Tofas in the domestic championship. By winning here, Baskonia can take a crucial step toward the Euroleague playoffs, and we believe they will be able to do it. They also had one day more than their opponent to rest and prepare for this match.
