Besiktas vs Bourg Odds
Besiktas Team News
Besiktas played somewhat worse in the previous game and lost to Bourg 86:74, in a duel in which Angel Delgado with 15 points and 16 rebounds and Marko Simonovic with 14 points were the most effective. Now they are waiting for match number two of the semifinals of the EuroCup.
Besiktas was in a big rush until the duel in France. After defeating Karsiyaka with an incredible margin of almost 50 points, it was expected that team lead by head coach Dusan Alimpijevic could play very well against Bourg in the first leg of the EuroCup semifinals. That did not happen, mostly thanks to the bad defense of the team from Istanbul, but also the lack of ideas in the offense. It was not the true picture of Besiktas, which they will try to show in the next match. Besiktas has been at an extremely high defensive level all season, so it is clear what their greatest strength is.
Besiktas must be dominant in the rebound and neutralize the realization of the rival, when it comes to the open court, which was the biggest problem for Besiktas in the first meeting. If that happens, the home team will be much closer to winning and continuing the series.
Bourg Team News
In the previous game, as already mentioned, Bourg was better than Besiktas on their court by 86:74, in a meeting in which Isiah Mike with 16 points and Jequan Lewis with 14 points were the most effective. Now they are waiting for duel number two of the semifinals of the EuroCup.
Bourg played excellently in the first match against Besiktas and did not allow them to hope to win. Although the French team, after leading by 18 points, allowed the rival to come within four points, the win of Bourg was not in question, mostly because of the great game in defense. This team used the transition very well and was always accurate when needed from a distance. Zaccharie Risacher played a particularly important role with two three-pointers in key moments and showed why he was projected at a high position in the NBA draft.
In the next match, Besiktas will be much more aggressive, which is why it is important that the defense of Bourg works perfectly, in order not to allow the Turkish team to easily implement offensive plan. When that’s the case, Besiktas are very hard to stop.
