Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Points Over 162 – 1.82.
Galatasaray has made progress. Andreas Pistolis’s men picked up several important home wins and also resisted Fenerbahçe. It is possible that the Lions can stop Türk Telekom at home. After all, the Istanbul side won five of their last six meetings with the capital city side.
Galatasaray has scored at least 85 points in four of its last five home games. The Lions are very aggressive on the home court. It is likely that they will offer the visitors a fast tempo of play.
Surprisingly, Galatasaray has been more successful on the road this season. At home, the Lions are not as good. In five games, they have only two victories. They defeated less strong Tofas and Gaziantep. Despite all the problems, Andreas Pistolis’ side finished fourth.
Galatasaray, apart from playing in the domestic league, plays in the Champions League. The Lions are also doing well there. They confidently topped Group C. The day before, they managed to beat Legia (90:76).
Galatasaray has lost 60% of its home games this season.
Türk Telekom has lost only one match in the Turkish Basketball SuperLiga. At the beginning of the season, the Ankara side lost to Bursaspor. Since then, Erdem Can’s side has not suffered such a setback. They won their remaining ten games and are now at the top of the table.
Last time, Türk Telekom played in the Eurocup, they easily defeated Buducnosy (84:71). In this European tournament, Can’s wards are also showing good results. They’re top of the Group B standings.
Türk Telekom has won 80% of the away meetings.
