Fenerbahçe Ülker takes on Unicaja Malaga, winless in the Euroleague Top 16, on the road on Friday. It's a must-win Group F game for Zeljko Obradovic's team to stay among the leaders of the pack, which features other European powerhouses fighting for the last eight.

Obradovic has the second best offensive player of the competition in this year's edition: Andrew Goudelock. The US guard has averaged 18.3 points in the Top 16 so far and he is likely to be the key player of this match. The only drawback against the Spaniards for Fenerbahçe is that Obradovic's men maintain a disappointing streak of home defeats and lost both home games in this stage. In the meantime, the İstanbul club extended its run of road victories to five last week.

In Group E, Galatasaray Liv Hospital is heading to Greece to face Panathinaikos Athens in their first official meeting. The two clubs are placed back to back in their group with two wins and two defeats and the winner will also obtain an advantageous position, claiming a spot among the top four rankings.

Without playmaker Carlos Arroyo, Galatasaray made the round-four mission against Alba Berlin too hard to handle and stunned on its home court eventually last week. Therefore, his presence will contribute tremendously to the İstanbul club in their Athens campaign. Coach Ergin Ataman will also rely on his top scorer Zoran Erceg and guard Sinan Güler, who saw the longest playing time this season. The keys of the Greek champs include Dimitris Diamantidis and A.J. Slaughter.

Also on Friday, Barcelona hosts Zalgiris Kaunas in what is expected to be a mouth-watering Group E encounter.
