Command Analysis

Fenerbahce

Current form
The Turkish giants are in fifth place in the Euroleague standings and continue to gain momentum after a series of failures. Sarunas Jasikevicius' team went through a difficult period, losing three games in a row, but were able to find motivation and rehabilitate in the last round, beating Anadolu Efes at home (84:76).
Fenerbahce are confident and show excellent basketball in attack, especially on their home court. Tarik Biberovic was one of the main heroes of the last meeting, scoring 17 points, and the team as a whole showed a mature game, not rushing and skillfully exploiting the weaknesses of the opponent. The hosts of the upcoming match are aiming to strengthen their position in the table, especially considering that the meeting will be held at home against a team in crisis.
Disqualifications and injuries
Wade Baldwin, Scottie Wilbekin and Arthur Arthurs will miss the next game due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
In all five head-to-head matches, the club from Istanbul celebrated victory.
Estimated lineup: Hayes - Gudurich, Shanly - Coulson, Maze.

Alba Berlin

Current form
German Alba continues to have difficulties both in the Euroleague and in the domestic championship. Israel Gonzalez's team lost in the last round to the tournament leader, Monaco (90:105). Despite the defeat, the players showed good performance, and Matthew Thomas scored 17 points.
Alba is trying hard, but their level of play clearly does not meet the requirements of the Euroleague. Weak defense and lack of stability in attack prevent the team from competing on equal terms with the strongest clubs in the tournament. The trip to Istanbul promises to be extremely difficult, especially considering that Fenerbahce is in good shape.
Disqualifications and injuries
Justin Bean and Louis Olinde will continue their recovery in the infirmary.
Interesting facts for betting
The German team has three victories in the Euroleague.
Probable line-up: Procida - McCormack, Rapic - McDowell-White, Thomas.
