Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroLeague match.
Bayern Munich have gathered significant momentum, winning their last six games, including four consecutive victories in the EuroLeague. Can Fenerbahçe put a stop to Bayern Munich's run on their home court?
Fenerbahçe
The most recent encounter between these teams in January 2024 ended with a Fenerbahçe victory (98:91), although the high score is misleading as it includes overtime. Regulation time concluded at 81:81. Fenerbahce can be inconsistent, which is why they do not lead in either the EuroLeague or the Turkish Super League. While they can score heavily, such performances mainly occur in domestic competitions. Over their last 10 games, their average points scored is under 159, and in six EuroLeague matches, it drops below 153.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich's last setback was on October 19 in a Bundesliga match against Mitteldeutscher (75:79). In the EuroLeague, they sit fourth, having lost twice; the last defeat came in the third round against Partizan (78:86). Notably, both losses were away from home. The total points in those defeats align with the German leader's average—under 165. Their EuroLeague scoring is inflated by an NBA-style game against Paris (109:107) to 172.5. If that match is excluded, their numbers suggest a total under 166.5.
Fenerbahçe vs Bayern Munich Prediction
We're not going to predict the winner, though it's clear that despite Bayern Munich's winning streak, the hosts have significantly better chances. The figures mentioned above indicate that a high-scoring match is unlikely compared to previous games, so we're betting on total under 166.5.
