Paris vs Fenerbahce Prediction 29 April 2025

Paris are showcasing strong form at home, securing victories in their last seven consecutive matches. The team is delivering solid performances both offensively and defensively, averaging 85 points scored and conceded. Over their last ten games, they have claimed seven wins with three losses. Key aspects of their play include fast breaks and accurate long-range shooting. An interesting fact about the club is their ability to turn games around with strong finishes to quarters.

However, all these positive traits did not help Paris in Istanbul during the opening two clashes of the series. In the first game, the French side fell short in a competitive battle (78-83), and in the second, they had no answers, losing 72-89. Paris appeared overly reliant on their three stars-Shorts, Heifi, and Ward-who performed admirably but received no support from their teammates (no one else scored more than 9 points). Head coach Tiago Splitter must galvanize the role players; otherwise, their hopes for a spot in the Final Four in Abu Dhabi could fade away.

Fenerbahce are in outstanding form, riding a five-game winning streak that solidifies their status as one of the season's frontrunners. Over their last ten matchups, they've suffered just one defeat. The team consistently delivers high-scoring performances on the road, often surpassing a total of 165 points in their games. Their defensive strategy focuses on controlling the paint and protecting the perimeter, enabling them to effectively handle opponents of any caliber.

With each playoff game, the Turkish team gains momentum. In Game 2 against Paris, they delivered a phenomenal first half, racking up 61 points-a EuroLeague knockout round record. Standout performances came from usually understated Biberovic, who scored 20 points including three crucial three-pointers, and Hayes with 16 points. Before halftime, the Istanbul side shot with incredible accuracy: 88.2% on two-point attempts and 61.5% from beyond the arc. That night, Fenerbahce were unstoppable. Now riding high, the Turks are determined to sweep the series and calmly prepare for their well-deserved trip to the season's climax-the Final Four.
