Fenerbahce vs Baskonia Prediction 5 November 2026
π Fenerbahce and Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz meet in Istanbul in the next round of EuroLeague action. On current form, this looks like one of the roundβs most predictable matchups. Fenerbahce are firmly in the upper reaches of the standings and rarely lose at home, while Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz are enduring a difficult season near the bottom of the table. The gap in quality and form points to a comfortable home win.
Head-to-Head
π The hosts have the psychological edge. Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz have not won a EuroLeague game in Istanbul since 2024, and their current form makes it unlikely they will end that run. In the previous meeting, on January 23, 2026, Fenerbahce won by double digits, 84-71.
Head-to-head statistics Fenerbahce - Baskonia
Fenerbahce: rock-solid defence and a formidable trio in attack
Fenerbahce have been scoring consistently and look like one of the most balanced teams in the competition. Their strong defence, which allows around 79 points per game, is matched by an effective attack. They are traditionally a tough opponent for anyone in Istanbul, and with a near-full squad available, they have no major absences to contend with.
This season, their offence revolves around the trio of Baldwin IV, Shields and Larkin. Baldwin IV has been the chief playmaker, averaging 10.8 points and 5.5 assists per game. Clyburn and Horton-Tucker add quality and experience to the backcourt, giving coach Jasikevicius plenty of flexibility with his rotations.

Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz: Stuck in a rut with no way out in sight
Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz have made one of the worst starts to a EuroLeague campaign in their history: 1-8 and bottom of the standings. Their only win came against Olimpia Milano (86-76) in Round 2. Since then, they have lost seven straight, including defeats to ASVEL and Real Madrid last week.
Baskonia are conceding 92.7 points per game, one of the worst marks in the EuroLeague. That is a worrying sign against Fenerbahce's offence. The one bright spot is Duarte's return. His energy and ability to create good looks could give Baskonia a much-needed lift, but it is unlikely to be enough to bridge the gap in quality with the Istanbul club.

First-Quarter Prediction
The first quarter has produced fewer than 42.5 points in seven of Fenerbahceβs last eight EuroLeague home games. Fenerbahce have averaged 19 first-quarter points in their recent home games, while Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz have averaged 17.2 in their recent away games. Our pick is under 42.5 first-quarter points at odds of 1.91.
Total Points Prediction
Fenerbahce have seen fewer than 170.5 points scored in 15 of their last 17 home games. They have averaged 84.5 points scored and 76 conceded in recent home games, while Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz have averaged 77.6 scored and 86.2 conceded in recent away games. Weβre backing under 170.5 total points at odds of 1.70.
A solid bet
In 15 of Fenerbahceβs last 17 home games, the total stayed below 170.5 points - an even lower line than 174.5. Fenerbahce have recently averaged 84.5 points scored and 76 conceded at home. Our pick is under 174.5 total points at odds of 1.45.
β Our Prediction
Fenerbahce are at home, unbeaten in EuroLeague play in Istanbul and in excellent form. Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz are near the bottom of the standings, with just one win in nine EuroLeague games, the competitionβs worst defence and injury concerns in the frontcourt. Duarteβs return should give them a boost, but it will not fix their underlying problems. Fenerbahce should control the game and pull away for a comfortable win. The visitors are unlikely to offer much resistance on the road. Weβre backing Fenerbahce to win with a -13.5 handicap.
