Will Fenerbahce complete a memorable double over UMMC?

MUNICH (EuroLeague Women) - Another action-packed week of EuroLeague Women action lies in wait, with Fenerbahce one step away from completing a statement double over UMMC.

Having taken a thrilling win in Ekaterinburg, can Fenerbahce win on their home floor against UMMC to re-confirm they are the real deal and one of the main contenders for silverware? Will their prospects hinge on whether Ana Dabovic plays [after missing last week], given she was the main star of the win earlier this season, or will the in-form Aerial Powers be the player to take the hosts to victory?

Or, will UMMC complete a revenge mission and extend their winning streak to 7 games in this game of the week duel between two of the Group B co-leaders?

These are just some of the killer questions for Week 11 of the Regular Season and here's our pick of other things we want to find out the answers to.

The other leading side in the Group are Yakin Dogu Universitesi and how will they react to a rare loss last week? Will it be the blistering form of playmaker Courtney Vandersloot that takes them past Perfumerias Avenida? Or, can Avenida look to Kim Mestdagh to return to the club where she started the campaign and pour in the number of points needed for a win which might just prove priceless in their pursuit of a Quarter-Final slot?

Will ZVVZ USK Praha be the team to end the spectacular winning run of Dynamo Kursk as Sonja Petrovic makes an emotional trip back to Prague and who will come out on top in the cross-club battle of the Spanish contingent Lucas Mondelo and Anna Cruz or Leticia Romero and Marta Xargay?


Can another Spaniard in Laia Palau shine in her return to EuroLeague Women with Bourges as they look to go five on a row, or will it be another veteran playmaker in Miljana Bojovic of CCC Polkowice that spoils the party as she returns to Le Prado where she spent last season?

Who will come out on top between struggling Nadezhda and BLMA in a battle that looks like it could determine who has the best shot at taking the EuroCup Women Quarter-Final tickets on offer? Plus, is this finally the week when long-term injury victim Alex Bentley suits up for Nadezhda, or will it be BLMA debutante Camille Little who gets it done?

What will be the impact of Galatasaray's new face Kaela Davis as she appears in the tournament for the first time and can the Istanbul side build chemistry quickly enough to save their season? Or, will Castors Braine continue their revival under the eye-catching production of in-form frontcourt duo Celeste Trahan-Davis and Anete Steinberga?
