VAL vs FEN Dream11 Match EuroLeague | Valencia Basket vs Fenerbahce

VAL vs FEN Dream11 Match Prediction

VAL vs FEN Dream11: In another humdinger of a matchup in EuroLeague this week, two teams aiming for the playoffs will have a direct tilt at each other as Valencia Basket entertain Fenerbahce in round-26 at Pavelló Municipal Font de San Lluís on Friday night (IST).
Valencia dropped the last game 82-85 at home against Maccabi Tel Aviv and dropped a place down to 7th on the EuroLeague table. How critical that result was that four teams below them are only one game away from them heading into this match, and if they lose this game, they could be outside the top-8. It goes without saying then that this game is huge for Valencia and its hopes of making the playoff.
But the opponnets, Fenerbahce also have their eyes stuck at the same target and in contention for the top-8, but more importantly for both the teams is that they are separated by just one game and if Fenerbahce win by a 12-point difference they will be going above Valencia on the table.

Head-to-head:

This will be the 8th meeting between these two teams in EuroLeague since 2000. Valencia Basket lead the head-to-head record with 4 wins, and also won the reverse fixture earlier in the season.
