Partizan Belgrade vs Fenerbahce Preview

Thu, Feb 24rd 20:00 (UK time)

Partizan are in the best form in the whole competition at the moment. It seemed very unrealistic they will be battling for the top 8 at some point in December, but here they are fighting for home-court advantage in the playoffs. They have 4 home games against direct rivals (Real, Barca, Olympiacos, and Fenerbahce) and they need to win those if they want their shot at the playoffs. The first game is tonight against a tough Fenerbahce squad led by D. Itoudis.

Partizan have their own strengths, they are the most efficient team in the league, shooting 50% from the field, 39% from beyond the arc, and 82% from the free throw line respectively. Their main players K. Punter and D. Exum are also in very good form. There are a lot of things that are going well for the hosts tonight and we are expecting them to build on this positive momentum and clinch another victory that will keep them in the conversation for home-court advantage.
For tonight’s game, they will be missing B. Koprivica (C ) due to an illness.

Fenerbahce have started the season very strong, they have been sitting on top of the table for quite some time but their form dropped drastically recently. It started happening when they lost to Partizan at home and surely they will be eager to return the favour in the hot Stark Arena.
Fener are 5th in the competition in points per game with 83.9 and 4th in rebounds with almost 35 per game. They are a very well-rounded team led by a very good coach. The game will be very tough and the moneyline says it all. A slight advantage to Partizan, likely due to the home crowd and recent form.

We are betting on the sense of urgency for Obradovic’s team. After winning this game they are in a very good position for the upcoming battles with the top 3 teams. If they want to go through they need to acquire the victory tonight. This is something that can get us through the finish line tonight. Partizan is also one of the best hosts in the Euroleague with an 8-3 record while Fener are 605 when playing on the road.
