Week 26 in the EuroLeague will see Panathinaikos taking on Fenerbahce on Friday evening. The hosts are currently in fourth place in the league standings, while the visitors are down in 14th place. After ending last season second bottom, Panathinaikos have looked like a completely different team this term. They are 15-10 with 30 points, just four behind second-placed Barcelona. In their last match in this competition, Panathinaikos were beaten 80-68 by Zalgiris, with Kendrick Nunn leading the team with 26 points, four assists, and three rebounds, while Marius Grigonis added 15 points and two assists. The hosts followed up that result with a 73-70 loss to Aris in the Greek Basket League last week, marking their first loss in their last nine home games across all competitions. Despite failing to beat this opponent in their last four matches, the bookies have the hosts down as the favourites in this one. 

Meanwhile, Fenerbahce are also enjoying a solid season to date, matching their opponent's record of 15-10 and only behind them on points difference. Their last match in this competition also ended in defeat, beaten 76-69 by Monaco on the road, which followed an 83-73 win over Lyon-Villeurbanne a week earlier. Last weekend, Fenerbahce overcame Galatasaray 90-74 in the Basketbol Super Ligi , which saw them maintain top spot in the league, level with Anadolu Efes and one point above third-placed Besiktas. Fenerbahce have a record of seven wins in their last ten matches in all competitions and drew 78-78 against this opponent at this venue last season before claiming a 94-88 win in overtime.
