Fenerbahce vs Olympiacos Odds
Fenerbahce Team News
After a slightly weaker start to the season and several defeats, Fenerbahce finally stabilized and seems to be in very good shape. Dimitris Itoudis team has won six times and is in a great mood as welcomes its next rival, which will be one of the more demanding tasks.
In the introduction before this duel, Fenerbahce was better than Samsunspor 83:53, in a game in which Sertac Sanli and Melih Mahmutoglu were the most prominent with 19 and 18 points. However, given the evident big difference in quality, that duel cannot be any real indicator of what awaits Itoudis’ team in the upcoming period. In the previous round of the Euroleague, Fenerbahce defeated Bayern 76:67 on a difficult road trip. On that occasion, the Turkish team showed defensive solidity, especially in the third quarter when they only conceded nine points.
Scottie Wilbekin with 17 and Marko Guduric with 14 points were the best in that win. It was achieved, as mentioned, by defense, which is a true indicator of how Fenerbahce should play in the future, if they want to maintain their good form.
Olympiacos Team News
Olympiacos, after a very good start and dominance in the mutual duels against Panathinaikos, experienced a painful defeat on their floor against their biggest rival. It was the first time since 2021 that Panathinaikos got the better of the red and whites, which undoubtedly caused some unease at Olympiacos.
It was a duel that reminded of earlier Greek derbies. Very aggressive game and solid defense, in which it is very difficult to score a basket. It seemed that in such a situation, Olympiacos could manage better, because since the beginning of the season, it has proven that it is of extremely high quality defensively. However, that did not happen. Olympiacos scored only 23 points in the second half, 11 of them in the fourth quarter. Thus, he could not win against a highly motivated rival. In the end, Ergin Ataman team played excellently in offense in the last 10 minutes and made a decisive difference in that part of the game.
Nigel Williams-Goss scored 14 points, Isaiah Canaan 11, but the key to win lies in stopping Nikola Milutinov, who stopped at six points. The Serbian center will have to play better games if the red and whites want to beat better teams.

Fenerbahce vs Olympiacos Prediction
The current better form and the advantage of the home fans will be crucial for Fenerbahce to beat their rivals in this game. Olympiacos will not be able to send off the host offensively, who, motivated to continue their good streak, will outplay the red and whites by a margin higher than the offered handicap. Where Olympiacos is the strongest – in the paint, Fenerbahce has an answer, both in the form of Jonathan Motley and Georgios Papagiannis, and in the form of Sertac Sanli, who can spread the floor.
