Fenerbahçe vs Alba prediction and betting tips on March 29, 2024
One of the matches in the 32nd round of the EuroLeague will take place on Friday in the capital of Turkey, where the local Fenerbahçe will host Berlin's Alba. Here's the match forecast from the experts at Dailysports.
Fenerbahçe
The "Yellow Canaries" are traditionally regarded as one of the strongest teams in Europe, and this season, once again, the Turks are proving their status. After the completion of the 31st round, Fenerbahçe occupies the sixth position in the EuroLeague standings, boasting 19 victories. They are trailing the table-topping Real Madrid by six wins.
In their last EuroLeague match, Fenerbahçe visited Milan, where they suffered a narrow 76-77 defeat to Olimpia. The "Yellow and Navy Blues" struggled in the first half but showed resilience in the fourth quarter, which they won 25-18. However, it wasn't enough to secure an away victory. This loss halted a streak of four consecutive wins for the Istanbul club in the EuroLeague. Notably, in the Turkish championship over the weekend, Fenerbahçe secured an emphatic 81-59 victory away against Petkim Spor, maintaining their top spot.
Alba
Berlin's Alba is enduring a catastrophe this season, currently occupying the last place in the EuroLeague standings. In the 31st match, Alba managed only 5 victories, suffering defeats in 26 encounters. Alba's last EuroLeague victory dates back to late January when they defeated Crvena Zvezda at home in Berlin.
Since then, Alba has suffered eight consecutive losses, including a defeat against Anadolu Efes in their recent away match in the EuroLeague. The German club trailed 40-53 at halftime but managed to stage a comeback in the third quarter, outscoring their opponent 27-12. However, Anadolu Efes clinched the victory with 5 crucial points in the final minutes of the game. Alba approaches the match against Fenerbahçe following a victory in the domestic league against Hahnemühle with a score of 84-79.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

Fenerbahçe vs Alba Prediction
Fenerbahçe is the clear favorite for the match, but Alba has already demonstrated what happens when they are underestimated. The Turkish club narrowly secured a home victory against Alba last week, so one shouldn't expect any underestimation from the "Yellow Canaries."
