Monaco Team News
The team from the principality is playing great basketball this season, which is also reflected in their record, where they are currently 6-2 and share second place in the standings with Olympiacos. Saša Obradović’s men are playing hot and cold in the domestic championship, which is supported by two consecutive defeats, against Dijon and at the weekend against Limoges.
The game of Monaco depends on the mood of Mike James, although Saša Obradović’s team has a lot of players who are capable of scoring over 20 points per game, everything depends on James, who takes a large number of shots.
Monaco is a complete team, which, in addition to its killer offensive potential, has perhaps stronger defensive potential, as evidenced by 9 steals per match. Athletically, they can take on everything, they are excellent at jumping. In the racket, there are Moerman and Montijunas, who with their quality brought additional width and quality to the Monaco team.
In the last match in the Euroleague, they beat the Baskonia team on their home field, and Okobo dominated, who managed to “steal the ball” from Mike James and break the game. Namely, Monaco was losing at halftime to a motivated Baskonia team, but with a strong defense, especially in the third quarter, they managed to stop Baskonia, who was in a shooting mood. They were defeated against Limoges, where Mike James played a desperate game, not scoring a single point.
Fenerbahce Team News
Fenerbahce under the leadership of Dimitris Itoudis plays perhaps the best basketball. In the Euroleague, they have only one defeat, and that was on the road against Barcelona when they showed character and reached a big deficit, and in the end, were defeated by a minimal score.
Itoudis put all the pieces together and Fenerbahçe seems compact, with perfect cohesion of defense and attack. A very important factor in Fenrbahçe’s game is Motley, who in addition to a great attack plays superbly defensively, Motley scores 15 points on average this season and grabs almost 7 rebounds.
They have Gudurić, Wilbekin, and Calathes in the outside positions, who are the leaders of Fener. Besides Motley, there are also Jekiri, Booker, and Birsen in internal positions.
Fenerbahce is still without Nemanja Bjelica, so it is very possible that the team will go to the market in search of a high player.
The team from Istanbul plays fast attacking basketball, they have a couple of players who can easily go over 20 points, but also physically powerful players who are defensively potent.
In the last match in the Euroleague, they defeated Pao on their home field with a 30-point difference and showed that they are a serious force. While they easily defeated Tofas in the domestic championship.

Monaco vs. Fenerbahce Prediction
Along with Olympiakos, Fenerbahce is playing the best basketball in the Euroleague this season, but in the principality against Monaco, no one is a favorite, not even Fener. However, we think that Fener can win this match, but the handicap and excellent margin allow us to additionally secure ourselves.
