Fenerbahce Beko will take on Serbian side Partizan on Wednesday evening in a EuroLeague Round 29 matchup, as the Istanbul club looks to build on its strong run at the top of the standings.
The game will tip off at 8:45 p.m. local time at Ulker Sports and Event Hall in Istanbul, bringing together the league leader and one of the lower-ranked teams in Europe’s premier club basketball competition.
The EuroLeague, widely regarded as Europe’s top-tier professional basketball competition, features leading clubs from across the continent competing in a long regular season before the playoffs.
Fenerbahce Beko enters the matchup sitting in first place after winning 20 of its 27 games so far, a record that has helped the Turkish side pull ahead in the standings. Partizan, meanwhile, has struggled to keep pace, recording nine wins and 19 losses across 28 games and currently placing 19th in the 20-team league.
Fenerbahce Beko comes into the contest riding strong momentum, having won its last seven games.
The Istanbul club has also carried its form onto the road, coming away victorious in its previous three away fixtures, a run that has reinforced its position as one of the competition’s most consistent sides.
When the two teams met earlier in the season in Serbia, Fenerbahce Beko came out on top with a 99-87 victory. That result now serves as the most recent reference point between the sides as they prepare to face off again, this time in front of the home crowd in Istanbul.
With both teams heading into Round 29 under different circumstances, the matchup brings together league-leading consistency and a side seeking to improve its standing before the season moves forward.
