Turk Telekom vs Lietkabelis Prediction and Betting Tips (24.09.2024)

Command Analysis

Turk Telekom

Turkey

Current Form

Last season, Turk Telekom reached the Eurocup round of 16, where they were eliminated by London Lions. The management viewed this performance as disappointing, leading to new signings during the offseason. Olivier Hanlan joined from CSKA Moscow, Kyle Alexander transferred from Hapoel Tel Aviv, and Max Heidegger came from Venezia. It seems we are about to witness a completely revamped team.

In their preseason friendlies, Turk Telekom struggled, suffering defeats to Dariuszafaka and Besiktas.

Injuries and Suspensions

Turk Telekom has no issues with their roster.

Interesting Betting Facts

Turk Telekom's recent performances have been underwhelming. The Ankara team has lost 4 of their last 5 matches, making it hard to expect a positive outcome in their upcoming game.

Projected Lineup: Hanlan - Alexander, Brown - Bess, Heidegger.

Lietkabelis

Lithuania

Current Form

Last season, Lietkabelis did not make it to the playoffs. They finished second to last in their group and ended their campaign early. This unsatisfactory performance prompted management to seek reinforcements. The roster has been bolstered with several players from European leagues. It will be interesting to see how they perform in the upcoming matches.

It's important to note that the Lithuanian championship has already begun and Lietkabelis has played one game. At home, the team secured a victory against Mazeikiai with a score of 82-78.

Disqualifications and Injuries

Lietkabelis has no issues with disqualifications or injuries.

Betting Insights

Lietkabelis has lost 4 of their last 5 encounters with Türk Telekom. In matchups against this opponent, the Lithuanians have been quite unconvincing. It's likely that they will face challenges even on their home court.

Projected Lineup: Kovlyar - Pecharsky, Kalaitzakis - Lipkevicius, Malduanas.
