Real Madrid – Fenerbahçe: How they arrive
He Real Madrid come to this game with the intention of beating Olympiacos in first place in the Euroleague, in which both teams are level with 20 games won, although the Spaniards lost both Euroleague games this season against the Greeks in the basket average. That of Chus Mateos They arrive with two wins in the last two days against the Italian representatives, although they will not find it easy against a Fenerbahce keen to get the seeds in this competition.
The Madrid team clearly beat Virtus de Bologna of what could be the next White House coach, the Spanish coach Sergio Scarioloin a match without complications and in which the defense was conspicuous by its absence for long moments (in the case of the Italian team, almost throughout the game). The Real Madrid’s best players in this party they were Mario Hezonia with 26 points and a 8-of-11 shooting from beyond the 3-point line, Gerson Yabusele with 24 points and six rebounds and one more 4 out of 7 from beyond the arcAnd Gabriel Deck with 11 points and four rebounds.
Fenerbahçe come to this game after beating direct rivals like Zalgiris Kaunas, and propelled them to fifth place in the Euroleague standings, with a “comfortable” two-game lead over their fans, but with firm intentions of catching AS Monaco in fourth place. The game against the Lithuanians was from the start by those who dominated Dimitris Itoudis, who established an 11-point lead that they maintained in the second half despite the Lithuanian team’s drive. The best players of the Istanbul team in this game were Nigel Heu with 19 points, six rebounds and two assists, Tyler Dorsey with 15 points and three assists, and Milan Guduric with 14 points, three rebounds and three more assists, 3-on-4 from beyond the 3-point line.

Matchday 31 ends in a modern Euroleague classic between Real Madrid (with a record of 21-9), who are spurred on to finish in the top four, and Fenerbahce (with a record of 18-12), that it could secure a playoff spot with a win and keep alive its own hopes of a top-four finish for home field advantage in the quarterfinals.
I think it could be a game with many points between the two teams as neither of them defends well and I think Real Madrid can equalize the handicap both at half-time and at the end.
Thank you and good luck
