Fenerbahce Team News
The team from Istanbul plays the best and most consistently in the previous three rounds in the entire Euroleague, and in this round they welcome Valencia, who are in a great mood. Coach Itoudis did an excellent job in the pre-season, and brought in very high-quality players in all positions, who fit his style of play.
In addition to Gudurić, who has been there for a couple of seasons, and is the real leader of the team, Fener added a couple of great guards, Wilbekin and Chalates, who are the cream of European basketball. But what makes Fener fans especially happy are the performances of new signing Carsen Edwards, who has been in a great rhythm for the last two games. Edwards scored 19 points for ASVEL, while he scored 20 points for Konyaspor over the weekend.
Fener plays fast attacking basketball, they have players who can score 30 points for each team, especially Edwards and Wilbekin. But also defensively potent and physically powerful players.
Valencia Team News
The biggest surprise of the Euroleague so far was Alex Mumbur’s team, which defeated Anadolu Efes away from home two days ago. Now a new difficult challenge follows as they go to the other end of Istanbul, away from the Fenerbahce team.
Valencia is struggling a lot this year on both fronts, both against Spanish Endesa and in the Euroleague. But this victory will give them wings, and it will not be easy for the Fener team to beat dangerous Valencia.
Valencia’s biggest problem is in defense. They concede points too easily, and their best player Bojan Dubljević is not at his level in attack. But in Istanbul, Dubljević showed his class and scored 20 points for the European champions, and led Valencia to their first victory in the Euroleague.
The reinforcements didn’t show themselves in the best light either. Chris Jones isn’t playing as well as he did in ASVEL, and Radebaugh hasn’t played at this level yet. The bad form from the Eurobasket, Klemen Prepelič also reported and is one of the main reasons for the bad performance of the team from Valencia. The departure of center Tobey, who brought defensive security under the racket, is strongly felt.
Back-to-back matches are very demanding, and double rounds bring many surprises. Will Valencia be able to make another Istanbul miracle is the question?

Fenerbahce vs. Valencia Prediction
NBA champion Nemanja Bjelica is a question mark for Fenerbahce, who has problems with his calf, while Hermannsson, who has an injured knee, will not be available for Valencia.
Fenerbahce proved to be one of the teams in the best shape. We believe that in front of their fans, they will go strong from the very beginning and impose their rhythm and win this match relatively easily. Valencia beat Efes and no one should underestimate them, but we think that this match is just a good springboard for the continuation of the championship, but that they cannot make a surprise against Fener.
