Fenerbahce
Paris
As part of the 31st round of the regular season in the EuroLeague basketball championship, a clash between Fenerbahçe and Paris will take place. The match is set to be held in Istanbul on Tuesday, March 25. The game is scheduled to start at 18:45 Central European Time. I propose a bet on the winner of this game.
Match Preview
Fenerbahçe has long secured its position among the EuroLeague leaders, trailing only the Greek Olympiacos. The Istanbul giant showcases aggressive basketball and boasts a solid defense.
The Turks have practically guaranteed themselves a spot in the top 6 and face little resistance on the domestic front. The team has lost only one match and confidently leads the Super League standings with 21 victories.
Paris has swiftly transformed from a daring newcomer into a serious contender for high positions. The team has not been overshadowed among Europe's elite clubs and maintains a good chance of securing a playoff spot by the end of the regular season.
In their last game, Paris defeated Milan's Olimpia, ending a three-game losing streak. The current seventh place does not seem like their limit, as the team is capable of aiming for the top 6.
Match Facts
- Fenerbahçe has won 15 consecutive home games.
- Paris has won only one of their last five away games in the EuroLeague.
- Fenerbahçe averages 83 points per game at home, while Paris averages 88 points per game on the road.
Players to Watch
37-year-old Errick McCollum has hit excellent form in recent matches and stands out as one of Fenerbahçe's leaders. The American has fit well into the Istanbul club following his move from Karşıyaka and showcases solid performances on the court.
H2H
The only head-to-head match ended with a Fenerbahçe victory.
Prediction
The Turks look strong, especially on their home court. Paris will not be an easy prey, but fighting for victory will be challenging. I bet on Fenerbahçe's triumph with a -4 point spread.
