Fenerbahce vs. Olympiacos Preview
Fener lost the Turkish Super Cup to Efes, 82-83. It was their first loss after four wins in a row during the preseason. This team landed several very interesting players, and we mainly mean the duo, which came from Maccabi, Baldwin-Colson.

Given that the team already has fantastic shooters, they will rely heavily on three-point scoring. To balance the situation, Fener signed Nicolo Melli and Boban Marjanovic under the rim, gaining a strong and experienced frontcourt, too.

Olympiacos is aiming for the Euroleague title. The former MVP, Sasha Vezenkov, returned from the Sacramento Kings, and Evan Fournier also came to Piraeus. These two names have significantly boosted Oly’s chances of finally winning the title after years of reaching the Final Four and failing to go all the way.
The problem for head coach Georgios Bartzokas is the injuries of the players under the rim. Milutinov is not fit 100%, and Moustapha Fall, too. However, despite all this, Oly beat its big rival in the Greek Super Cup, the Euroleague champion, Panathinaikos, 85-86.
Fenerbahce vs. Olympiacos Head to Head
Fener and Oly met three times in the last Euroleague season. Olympiacos had two wins, one in the regular season, 84-81, and in the third-place match at the Final Four, 87-84. Fenerbahce won the regular season event in Turkey, 79-77.
Fenerbahce vs. Olympiacos Prediction
The home team’s backcourt is very, very nasty because every guy there can hit from downtown. Additionally, the Greeks have certain injury problems, and even though their morale is high, we expect to see Fenerbahce win.
