Olympiacos Aim for Away Win Against Fenerbahce, Panathinaikos Seek Revenge Against Armani Milano

Olympiacos and Panathinaikos are focusing on the challenging 'double week' of the EuroLeague, following their derby at the T-Center which ended in favor of Olympiacos. Olympiacos will face Fenerbahce away on Tuesday (6/1) and Bayern Munich at home on Friday (9/1), while Panathinaikos will host Armani Milano on Tuesday (6/1) and Virtus Bologna on Thursday (8/1). The match against Fenerbahce is crucial for Olympiacos, as a win would level them with the Turkish team in the standings. Olympiacos has a record of 11-7 and Fenerbahce 12-6, both with one game in hand. The Piraeus team has a better offensive performance, but Fenerbahce is more stable defensively. Olympiacos needs to improve its defensive rebounding and have variety in its attack. The participation of Nikola Milutinov is doubtful due to swelling in his foot, while Tyson Ward remains out. Olympiacos has been strengthened by Tyrique Jones, but he will not play in the match against Fenerbahce. Fenerbahce has signed Chris Silva and Nando de Colo, but they have not yet been registered in the EuroLeague. The 'double week' is a challenge for both Greek teams, as they will face strong opponents in a short period of time. A win in Istanbul will give Olympiacos a significant boost, while Panathinaikos will seek revenge against Armani Milano for their defeat in the first round.
