Match Preview
Both sides are frustrated with their results and performances, especially in the Super Lig, claiming just one victory each in the opening three rounds. The most recent head-to-head clash was won by Besiktas in late May, 71-68.
Besiktas Showing Signs of Improvement
Besiktas had contrasting performances this week in the EuroLeague, starting with a convincing 100-82 defeat against Hapoel Tel Aviv on a neutral court in Sofia, where they managed just 43% field-goal shooting.
The Black Eagles returned to winning ways on Friday by claiming their first home victory in the elite division, outplaying Bayern Munich 95-87 in front of their home crowd. Jaylen Nowell had a great night with 21 points, while Scottie Wilbekin added 20.
In domestic action, Dusan Alimpijevic’s side are struggling in the Super Lig, having suffered defeats against Anadolu Efes 95-81 and Turk Telekom 88-63. Their only victory came at home against Trabzonspor, 90-81.
Galatasaray Struggling for Results
Galatasaray opened the new basketball season with a dominant 102-79 performance against Cayirova, but that turned out to be their only victory in their first four appearances across competitions.
After a dramatic 78-71 overtime defeat to Karsiyaka in the second round, they were also beaten 96-76 by Cibona in the opening round of the FIBA Champions League, despite being tagged as heavy favorites.
Last weekend, Galatasaray hosted Bursaspor and once again entered the game as heavy favorites, only to lose 93-88 due to poor defending. Nikola Ivanovic was their standout performer with 18 points and three assists.
Verdict
Galatasaray are going through a very rough period, with Gianmarco Pozzecco sacked and expected to be replaced by Manuchar Markoshvili in the coming days. Besiktas looked solid in their most recent EuroLeague showing, so I will back them to win this derby with a -6.5 handicap.
