Petkim vs Besiktas: Analysis and Prediction – Petkim will host Besiktas in the Turkish Super League round 23 game.
Petkim vs Besiktas Odds
Petkim Team News
In the previous game, Petkim defeated Manisa by 106:90, in a meeting in which Yunus Sonsirma and Khyri Thomas were the most effective with 19 and 16 points. They are currently in fifth place in the Turkish Super League with a record of 12-10.
Petkim is not a defensive oriented team, but they are focused on offense and production on that side of the court. This team plays a lot of possessions, extremely fast basketball and can very easily make a surprise, if they are underestimated. Dusan Alimpijevic felt that on his own skin last season, when he was the head coach of Bursaspor. His team was then defeated by Petkim, which played a masterful game on the offensive side. And now they have players who can be dangerous, and above all it is David Efianayi, who averaged 20 points. All that speaks volumes about the quality of this team.
In the next meeting, they will need to speed up the pace and play on more possessions, which does not suit Besiktas at all. They will also try to take advantage of the fact that they are rivals in a very demanding schedule of matches and that the semifinals of the EuroCup await.
Besiktas Team News
Besiktas beat Hapoel Tel Aviv 94:89 in the previous game and advanced to the semifinals of the EuroCup. The most deserving were Jonah Matthews with 28 points and Derek Needham with 22 points. Now they face a duel in the Turkish Super League, where they are in third place with a score of 17-5.
Besiktas is playing extremely well this season. They have a recognizable style of aggressive and solid defense, which they reduced Paris to just 63 points, which no one has done this season. That data alone speaks volumes about their qualities, although there were minor drops during the season, such as the period immediately before the start of the playoffs in the EuroCup. Dusan Alimpijevic’s team seems to have overcome that and is playing excellently on the wings of Jonah Matthews, Derek Needham and Matt Mitchell.
In the next meeting, it will be necessary for them to slow down the pace and reduce the game to as few points as possible, in order to have a chance to beat the rival who is surely lurking for an opportunity to take advantage of their fatigue due to the demanding week in the EuroCup and win after a deficit of 21 points.
