Fenerbahce/ Ulker will host Olympiacos and despite basketball being a team game, there’s also an interesting subplot in every game between coach Zeliko Obradovic and Vasilis Spanoulis. After leaving Panathinaikos, a cold war have started between the two sides and Spanoulis has been under the microscope in every game against the Greens and Obradovic.
Ηere are the 15 games between them so far with Spanoulis getting a one win advantage in their personal duel after last season’s Top16 game against Fenerbahce/ UIker. The Greek star was injured and didn’t play in the second Top16 game in Istanbul, so this will be the first time he will face Obradovic at his new home. With a win of Fenerbahce, Zoc and V-Span will be tied at 8 wins each after splitting, or else Spanoulis will get a 9-7 edge.
