Euroleague: Difficult outing in the Principality for Real, to extend Fener’s winning streak in Kaunas

With the… first course having been served on Thursday (18/1), h 22nd matchday of the Euroleague ends with tonight’s four matches!

The action will start in Lithuania and Kaunas on 20:00when we will have jamball in her away test Fenerbahce against the Zalgiris. In 16th place in the standings with a record of 7-14, the home team started last “devil’s week” with an important away victory over Valencia, before experiencing a “clean” defeat by Barcelona in Spain. Up against them is in-form Fenerbahce, who have lost just one of their last 13 games in Euroleague and Turkey. Last week he overcame the obstacles of Partizan and Bayern, rising to third place in the standings.

One hour later (21:00) the most interesting, at least on paper, match of the evening will begin! A few days after her heavy defeat by Panathinaikos AKTOR in OAKA, the Monaco will welcome the pioneer Real Madrid, looking for a big win that will lift them into the privileged top six. On the other hand, the “queen” will try to get its third consecutive victory, wanting to widen the score gap from its pursuers even more.

Finally, on 21:30 will start in Spain and “Fonteta”, its match Valencia with the Armani Milan. Having celebrated just one win in their last 5 EuroLeague games, the hosts are looking for a way to recapture their early season form in order to stay close to the top half of the standings. Valencia’s record stands at 10-11, with tonight’s opponent having one win less and looking to put their home defeat against Red Star behind them and return to positive results.
