Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Under 164.5 Points – 1.64
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Fenerbahce -5 Points Handicap – 2.25
Fenerbahce to Win
Fenerbahce are in top form and have lost one game in ten fixtures in the Euroleague. Moreover, the Turkish side are on a seven-match winning streak and haven’t lost at home this season in all competitions. Fenerbahce beat Real the last time they met in Istanbul in February.
Under 164.5 Goals
The last three meetings between Fenerbahce and Real Madrid produced under 160 total points. The points stats of both teams indicate that Fenerbahce are averaging 75 points per game while Real Madrid in their last ten fixtures usually score 78 points.
Fenerbahce -5 Points Handicap
The last three games played by Fenerbahce saw them win by more than six points. While playing at home, the Yellow and Blues covered the -5 points handicap in their last four outings. Fenerbahce beat Real by 14 points the last time they met.
Fenerbahce
After playing four matches in eight days, Fenerbahce coach Maurizio Gherardini will hope his team can recover and be 100% fit for this game. It will be the Yellow-Blues toughest test yet in the Euroleague as the 2016/17 champions lead the standings with nine wins and one defeat.
All eyes will be on Fenerbahce’s center Jonathan Motley who has averaged 13.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in the Euroleague as he faces Real Madrid’s tall guys. Fenerbahce have Euroleague’s second-best offense and their 40% shooting from the arc must be maintained as it will be a key decider in this match.
Real Madrid
After a slow start to the Euroleague season during which Real lost three of their first five games, Los Blancos bounced back and are now on a five-match winning streak. That run included a win against the reigning champions Anadolu Efes by nine points and an away win in Valencia by seven.
With Walter Tavares, Vincent Poirier, and Petr Cornelie under Los Blancos’ basket, there is no surprise that Real Madrid are the second-best rebounding team in the Euroleague with 26.3 s defensive and 37.0 overall rebounds per game. In their last game against Partizan, Los Blancos made 11 of their 22 three-point attempts which was their best average for the season.
This will be a very tough test for both teams as they enter this match after showing some great form in the Euroleague and their domestic leagues. Fenerbahce look very dominant in the Euroleague losing only to Barcelona by one point on the road. We predict the Turkish side will rely on its long-distance shooting to decide this game in its favor.
In seven of their ten fixtures in the Euroleague and in four of their five home games, Fenerbahce scored over 80 points. Real Madrid conceded 80 or more points in four of their five road trips. With odds of 1.86 at 1XBet, we predict Fenerbahce to score over 81.5 points.
