Fenerbahce vs Bahcesehir: Analysis and Prediction – Fenerbahce will host Bahcesehir in third round of Turkish Super League game.
Fenerbahce vs Bahcesehir Odds
Fenerbahce Team News
The team of Dimitris Itoudis, like before the previous round in the domestic championship, has behind them a very difficult game in the EuroLeague and a loss in an uncertain ending against Valencia. “Bats” defeated Fenerbahce 77:74 and announced that they could be a serious rival to everyone.
This time, consumption was slightly lower, given that there were no overtimes, like in first round. In addition, the duel in Spain will have a great influence on the further development of events, because Itoudis must also think about how to rest his team before the double EuroLeague round. Unlike some previous matches, when he was not noticeable, Tyler Dorsey was the most effective against Valencia with 17 points. Scottie Wilbekin added 14 points, and Nigel Hayes with 11 and Yam Madar with 10 points also had double-digit performance. Fenerbahce had a well-distributed attacking role, but some individual mistakes by Dorsey and Wilbekin at the end decided that Valencia would be more satisfied after the second round of the elite competition.
Fenerbahce must not allow themselves another failure. In the introduction before the match against the Spanish team, Karsiyaka outplayed the “Canaries”. If another defeat were to happen, it would be the third in a row for Itoudis team. It is by no means the start anyone wants at Fenerbahce.
Bahcesehir Team News
Bahcesehir entered the new season with oscillations. In the first round, in an uncertain ending, Manisa was better than them with 90:88, so that the team improved the impression and in front of their fans in the next duel beat Petkim with 91:80.
The results speak volumes about how attacking-oriented Bahcesehir is. This was especially pronounced against Petkim in the first quarter, when they scored 29 points and conceded only 15, which was enough difference to break the match and save the acquired surplus until the end. Unlike the game against Manisa, when there were periods of good play and then some worse, this time Bahcesehir was constant. Jerry Boutsiele with 18 and Tyler Cavanaugh with 17 points were the most responsible for that. The former is already familiar with Bahcesehir system, given that this is not his first year at the club, so it was easier to get used to the new season from that side.
As Bahceşehir relies on offense, it is not completely focused when it comes to the other side of the floor and defense. That will have to change in this meeting, against a team that is more talented in attack. In such a fight, face to face, Bahcesehir will have nothing to ask for.

Fenerbahce vs Bahcesehir Prediction
Fenerbahce, as stated, must not allow themselves a third defeat in a row and entering into an even bigger problem with their form. At the same time, it will be a demanding task for Itoudis, as he will also have to think about spending. Our forecast is that the defensive game will stop the main attacking options of the rival, who after that has no plan B, and that will be enough for the “Canaries” to win in front of their fans by a margin greater than the offered handicap.
