Fenerbahce Team News
Fenerbahce’s streak of three consecutive victories ended in the last round. Asvel defeated them quite convincingly 77-91, and such an outcome surprised many. It was another bad game from Dimitris Itoudis’s men on the road this season, as they have won only once in the last five road matches.
However, this team plays much better in front of its fans. This season, they won seven out of ten games in Ulker Arena, and they triumphed in the last two meetings.
Fenerbahce basketball players will have to be extremely careful from the first minute of this game because Olympiacos knows how to be very efficient in the first quarter. The intensity of the defense must be at an optimal level from the beginning of the game in order to slow down a dangerous opponent.
Olympiacos Team News
On the other hand, Olympiacos basketball players are the current leaders of the Euroleague. They have the same win-loss record as Real Madrid, 14-7, but the Red and Whites have beaten Los Blancos both times this season.
Georgios Bartzokas’ men travel to Istanbul in a winning mood. They achieved three consecutive victories in the Euroleague or four in the last five games. They beat Maccabi 95-89, Real Madrid 73-60, and Virtus 85-83, so their confidence is at a very high level.
A big problem for the coaching staff of the team from Piraeus is the back injury of Kostas Sloukas, the starting playmaker and one of the best and most experienced players. He will not travel to the capital of Turkey, so Thomas Walkup will get additional minutes as a playmaker, but also additional responsibilities.
Fenerbahce vs Olympiacos H2H
In the first meeting between these two teams this season, Olympiacos demolished Fenerbahce 94-67. The most efficient individual in that match was Sasha Vezenkov, who scored 21 points.
Fenerbahce vs Olympiacos Prediction
The absence of Kostas Sloukas will be a big handicap for Olympiacos. This player is very important when it comes to scoring points, but also for playmaking. In addition, Fenerbahce plays quite well this season in front of home fans, so we believe that the Turkish team will triumph in this clash.
