Olympiacos will be at home to welcome Fenerbahce for the final EuroLeague regular season game for the two this season. Both teams are bumper to bumper in the standings with fifth-place Olympiacos edging sixth-placed Fenerbahce by one game. Olympiacos have already secured an automatic playoff spot. Georgios Bartzokas’ men are two games clear of the play-in places and now will be seeking to secure a top-four finish. If there are no changes in the standings after the final round of matches, Olympiacos will battle Barcelona in the first round. The Greek heavyweights, who are on a six-match winning run, defeated Fenerbahce in the first round of the playoffs last season. Filip Petrusev is in line to return with this game after missing the last five matches across all competitions with a knee issue. Nikola Milutinov is also on track to return against Fener. Olympiacos, who defeated Peristeri in the Greek league last time out, have won 12 of their 16 home matches in Europe. They are averaging 78.8 points in the EuroLeague.

Fenerbahce defeated Olympiacos in the reverse match 79-77 back in November. Sarunas Jasikevicius’ men will hope for a similar outcome to confirm a top-six finish. As it stands, the visitors are set to play Monaco in the first round. The Turkish giants currently hold the final automatic playoff spot. They have compiled a 20-13 record and are one game clear of their closest challengers. Fener are however witnessing a dip in form and with their away day struggles in Europe, this is bound to be a tough outing. The Yellow Canaries, who have a 5-11 road record, have lost their last two games. After losing at home to Efes in the EuroLeague, Fener lost to the very same opponent last time out in domestic league action. They lost by two in the first game and then by 10 just three days later. The recent loss saw them lose more ground to their victors in the race for the Turkish Super Ligi title. Amine Noua has missed the last four matches and is likely to be absent once again here. Fener are ranked fourth on offence in Europe and are putting up 85.2 points on average.
