Strong starts have put Fenerbahce and Partizan among the leading teams in the EuroLeague. Partizan are already on a losing streak, while Fenerbahce have played two tough matches since Saturday — conserving energy is important for them.
Fenerbahce
The Fenerbahce have regrouped after a painful defeat to Panathinaikos (74:92). They beat Çayırova Belediyesi in the Super League (100:85), then defeated Zalgiris in the EuroLeague (99:80). In the latter match, 10 players scored at least five points, but Fenerbahce's main strength is their organised defence, conceding an average of 76.4 points per game.
Partizan
A tough schedule has led to two EuroLeague defeats for the Partizan after they opened with three straight wins. Against Real Madrid (76:86), they stayed competitive for a long time and came away with a respectable away defeat, but their home loss to Panathinaikos was a complete failure. Partizan made just 21 of their 63 field-goal attempts.
Fenerbahce vs Partizan Prediction
Despite their comfortable win over Zalgiris, the Fenerbahce did not exceed 80 points in their previous three EuroLeague matches. The Partizan are unlikely to regroup quickly after their dreadful home performance against Panathinaikos. This will be a low-scoring game.
