FEN vs AXE Dream11: In a crunch game in EuroLeague, Olimpia Milano face Fenerbahce in round-21 at Ülker Sports Arena on Friday night (IST), with both the teams looking for the win to stay afloat in the playoff race. That said, Milano’s case is better at this point, for they are 8th on the points table going into this game. But they are also the team in this particular matchup with the downhill course in recent weeks, after losing two straight games coming into this game, and slipped down to 8th on the table.
However, Fenerbahce are also hard-pressed for a win, having lost the last game 74-80 at home against Barcelona. They also know that more failure to upturn the results will only put them in harm’s way.
