On Friday, the Ulker Sports and Event Hall will host the EuroLeague Round 26 match between Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul and FC Barcelona Lassa. Game time is set 8:45 PM local time.
Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul loosened its grip in the No. 1 position as they went down against Real Madrid in Round 25. CSKA Moscow is slowly moving up to catch them at the top spot.
FC Barcelona Lassa's chance to hold its 4th place grip also took a hit with a loss against Anadolu Efes Istanbul last week. Both teams hope to bounce back to improve their playoff positions as the regular is nearing its end.
FC Barcelona Lassa is one of the best rebounding teams in the EuroLeague as they average 11.4 offensive rebounds per game. They thrive in second-chance baskets throughout the game.
If Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul could limit their second-chance opportunities, that could be a key for their victory.
The sportsbook handicappers have installed Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul as a 7-point favorite to beat FC Barcelona Lassa on Friday night.
