Turk Telekom vs Lietkabelis Odds
Turk Telekom Team News
In the previous match, Turk Telekom lost to Buyukcekmece by 74:71 in Turkish Super League, in a match where Tyrone Wallace and James Palmer scored 21 and 20 points. Now they have a meeting in the EuroCup, where they have a score of 6-9.
Turk Telekom has had big problems since the beginning of the season. Surely it was hardly expected that they would repeat the success of the previous season, when they even reached the final of the EuroCup and were within reach of the trophy, but no one expected that they would look this weak. Most of the players, along with head coach Erdem Can left the club this summer, coach Nenad Canak arrived, with a few more reinforcements, but it didn’t turn out to be the right decision. Even after the departure of Nenad Canak, Turk Telekom continued to play poorly and it seems that the team’s best players, Tyrone Wallace, James Palmer, Steven Enoch, need help to meet the high demands of the Turkish team.
This team is not spectacular either in offense or defense. They score around 80 points and allowed around 82 points, which speaks volumes about the fact that Turk Telekom has room for improvement on both sides of the court, so in the next match they will have to play a diverse game.
Lietkabelis Team News
Lietkabelis beat Neptunas 79:76 in the previous game, with 20 points from Deividas Sirvydis and 19 points from Gediminas Orelik. Now they have a duel in the EuroCup, in which they have a record of five wins and 10 losses and are at the bottom of the table.
Lietkabelis was one of the biggest surprises of this competition in previous seasons, but this is not the case at the beginning of this season. One of the reasons is that head coach Nenad Canak took over the team a little before the middle of the season, so coaching continuity was not fully achieved. Deividas Sirvydis is the best player in this team, but he can’t win alone at this level, as evidenced by his masterful game in the defeat to Gran Canaria. This team needs more offensive width.
Despite all the above, it seems that the biggest problem of this team is the defense. All of Nenad Canak’s teams were focused on solid and aggressive defense, which is by no means the case in Lietkabelis, who cannot find a rhythm in this regard. They will have to, if they want to win against Turk Telekom.
