Partizan Team News
Partizan are team that is in the best form in Europe in the last two months. They won nine of last eleven games in the Euroleague. Although they were defeated by Red Star in the Serbian Cup semifinals, this should not have too much of a negative impact because they were without two very important players.
The reason for Partizan’s better results is a much better defense than in October and November. In that period, black and whites had a very short rotation. With Aleksa Avramovic and Alen Smailagic return, that changed. According to the offensive rating, Partizan are the second most powerful offense in the Euroleague. Dante Exum, Kevin Punter, Mathias Lessort and Zach LeDay are playing phenomenally, and players like Ioannis Papapetrou, James Nunnally, Aleksa Avramovic and Danilo Andjusic can always score 15 or more points. This best shows how many weapons head coach Zeljko Obradovic has in offense.
Partizan has a streak of 11 wins at home in all competitions. “Stark Arena” is once again sold out and more than 18,000 loud fans will be a great support for the players in black and white jerseys. Knowing this, it is clear why Partizan are the favorite on paper.
Fenerbahce Team News
Before this round, Fenerbahce are in fifth place in the Euroleague with a 14-9 record. At one point they were 10-2 which shows how much of a drop in form they have experienced in the past two months. Their goal is to finish regular season inside top 4 in order to have home court advantage in the quarterfinals.
Due to the terrible earthquake in Turkey, Fenerbahce played its last official game on February 5. This certainly affected the team and it is unknown what the reaction will be in Belgrade. Head coach Dimitris Itoudis definitely used that time to improve some things in the game, but practices and games are two different worlds.
In the first head-to-head game this season, Partizan caused a lot of problems to Fenerbahce in the low post. The champion of Turkey will try to win the battle under the hoop this time. In addition, they will have to focus on defending three-point shots, because if black and whites get a good rhythm, they become unstoppable in “Stark Arena”.

Partizan vs Fenerbahce Prediction
Looking at the form in which both teams are in the last couple of months, Partizan are the absolute favorite. Fenerbahce didn’t play official games for three weeks and it won’t be easy for them to return to the competitive rhythm. Despite all that, defeating Partizan in front of 18,000 fans in Belgrade is not easy even when you are in the best momentum. In this situation, it will be a difficult mission for coach Itoudis’ team.
