Fenerbahce vs Monaco Winning Prediction
Fenerbahce has not played particularly well in the series, and as a result, they are on the verge of making the Final Four. The opponents’ main difficulty is that they cannot dislodge Mike James, but they can also better use the game in the paint, where Sasa Obradovic’s team causes greater problems for the opponent.
Both can be defensive forces, but Fenerbahce has an advantage in offensive talent and a home crowd, which will be critical in winning by more than the spread and advancing to the Final Four.
