Command Analysis

Manisa BB

Current form
The team failed to perform properly during the season and is now forced to fight for survival. The team occupies the penultimate place in the standings, and there are not many matches left until the end of the championship.
In the previous meeting, Manisa visited Istanbul, where she fought Besiktas, but unfortunately lost (80:82). Joseph Lual-Akuil was one of the best in the guest squad, but his 17 points did not help. Kazis Maksvitis' players will face another test in the face of Galatasaray, but this time on the home arena, which adds confidence. The hosts need to win at any cost.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team approaches the fight without losses.
Interesting facts for betting
Since the start of the tournament, Manisa has won four medals at home.
Approximate line-up: Cal - Lual-Aquila, Thomas - Besson, Chiozza.

Galatasaray

Current form
The Istanbul team looks good during the season, but it does not reach the level of the top three. Yakup Sekizbek's team has a chance to compete for fifth place, but they need to improve.
Galatasaray lost two matches in a row, which the competitors immediately took advantage of. The team could not cope with Dariushshafaka (87:94) and give battle to Petkimspor (81:86). In the next round, James Palmer and company will have an away game against an outsider, so there is an opportunity to break an unsuccessful streak.

The club from Istanbul will take to the floor with an optimal composition.
Interesting facts for betting
Galatasaray have won all five of their last head-to-head matches.
Approximate line-up: Kabasa - Koksal, Delgado - Cumming, Palmer.

Manisa is in a difficult situation. There's not much time left until the end of the main tournament, so the team needs to score points to stay in the Super League. The hosts will take to the floor as the underdog, but the last match showed that the club is ready to fight to the end.
Galatasaray has lost two matches in a row, which is already a wake-up call for the head coach. The team has a chance to rectify the situation and compete for a place in the top 5, although the game will be played away, so the guests may face difficulties. In our opinion, the Istanbul club will continue its successful statistics of face-to-face meetings.
