To have more insights on Fenerbahce vs Olympiacos game, please read our preview below.
Fenerbahce
In the previous round, Fenerbahce was trashed by Zalgiris. The Turks looked absolutely without any idea what to do, only De Colo seemed to care about the team’s results. Ulanovas was also unable to make a difference and Fenerbahce played without one of their leaders Jan Vesely. Nevertheless, last few weeks they seem like a Eurocup team, and not like one of the top Europe teams. And now, they are once again facing a tough opponent, who seems in good spirit. If Fenerbahce wants to finally win, they have to start improving their defence and offence, because now, their only tactic seems to play around De Colo. Olympiacos is a very athletic team, and will try to use their advantage under the rim, because they dont like to play fast basketball.
Olympiacos
In the previous round Olympiacos lost against Real, but only after overtime, where they have shown, that even without all their leaders, the team is still ready to fight everyone. Sloukas and Spanoullis are still one of the best duos in Europe and although they seem to be reaching their age, their experience is very valuable and in the final moments, it is very important. Olympiacos will have to use their advantage under the rim against Fenerbahce, and also try to use pick and pop as much as they can, because Fenerbahce is too slow on the defence. However, they still got talent, and players like De Colo might be a game-changer, so Olympiacos still should not underestimate them and play it on its merits.
