Command Analysis

Fenerbahce

Current form

The Turkish club demonstrates an excellent level of play, occupying third place in the Euroleague standings. After failures at the beginning of the season, the team of Sarunas Jasikevicius managed to stabilize and produced a series of three victories. In the last match, Fenerbahce dealt with Crvena Zvezda (96:91), where Nigel Hayes and Sertac Sanli became the main stars of the match.

The team attack line works well, and the defense has significantly increased in reliability. Ahead is a home match, where the Turkish club traditionally feels confident. A victory over Zalgiris will allow the team to consolidate its position in the top three and continue the race for Olympiacos. The support of the stands and the current form make Fenerbahce the favorites of the upcoming match.

Disqualifications and injuries

Wade Baldwin and Scottie Wilbekin will not play in the next game due to injuries.

Interesting facts for betting

The Turkish club have not lost in their last six matches.

Probable lineup: Hayes - Coulson, Birch - Arthurs, Gudurich.

Zalgiris Kaunas

Current form

The Lithuanian club is fighting to return to the top 10, but its results so far leave much to be desired. After a series of four defeats, Zalgiris managed to achieve a long-awaited victory over Virtus Bologna (77:68). Despite the victory, the team play looked uneven, especially in attack, where many mistakes were made.

Andrea Trinchieri team will face a serious test in Istanbul. Confronting one of the Euroleague leaders on its home turf is no easy task. If Zalgiris wants to maintain its chances of getting into the top 10, it needs to significantly improve its attacking efficiency and stabilize its defense.

Disqualifications and injuries

Tomas Dimsa will not be able to help his team in the next match due to health problems.

Interesting facts for betting

In the last five away matches, the Lithuanian club has lost only once.

Estimated line-up: Manek - Butkevicius, Birutis - Francisco, Gidraitis.

Tip and bets

TipFenerbahce Handicap (-5) points

1.77

Zalgiris is looking to build on its success after beating Virtus, but it has a tough away game ahead of it. It will be tough for the Lithuanian team to face Fenerbahce, who are in great shape and are confidently making their way through the tournament. The Turkish club has won three games in a row in the Euroleague and is looking to build on their success on their home court.

In our opinion, Fenerbahce has every chance of winning, because teamwork, reliable defense and support of fans play on the side of the hosts. Zalgiris will show persistence, but it is unlikely to be able to seriously claim success in Istanbul.

Our prediction is Fenerbahce victory with a handicap of (-5) points at 1.77

TipTotal under 160 points

1.67

Bet on total

Zalgiris' attack line has not demonstrated stability yet, even in the winning match against Virtus the team often made mistakes. Fenerbahce is showing quality play, but the hosts are unlikely to have to give their best. We assume that the match will not be too productive, and the total will not be exceeded.

Betting Tip - total under 160 points for 1.67

Bet on statistics

Fenerbahce defense is confident, which will be a serious obstacle for the visitors. Zalgiris has difficulties in attack, especially against strong opponents. In such conditions, it will be extremely difficult for the Lithuanian team to break the individual total.

Betting Tip - Zalgiris individual total under 75.5 points for 1.86
