Fenerbahçe Opet, the reigning EuroLeague Women champion, will face ZVVZ USK Praha this week in a match that puts their undefeated record (7-0) on the line. This game between two strong teams highlights the 10th week of group play, with a series of games spread out over three days.
In their last encounter in Week 7, Fenerbahçe narrowly defeated Praha 75-71 in a competitive game. Emma Meesseman led the scoring with 18 points, while Gabby Williams contributed 14 points and four steals.
Can Praha even the score against Fenerbahçe this time? Playing at home will give the Czech club an advantage, but they will be without guard Maria Conde due to a lower leg injury. Praha will have to find a way to fill the void left by Conde’s absence quickly to have a chance against Fenerbahçe.
Both Fenerbahçe and ÇBK Mersin have already secured spots in the EuroLeague Women play-ins and Final Six. With three play-in spots up for grabs in each group, the competition remains intense, despite recent disruptions from KGHM BC Polkowice withdrawing from the tournament.
The game between Fenerbahçe and Praha on Wednesday will be live-streamed on the EuroLeague Women’s YouTube channel, along with other exciting matchups throughout the week.
