Command Analysis

Bahcesehir Koleji

Current form
Bahcesehir is confidently moving along the Eurocup distance, has already secured participation in the next stage and can afford to vary the lineup in the remaining matches. However, the team continues to fight, so it is too early to relax. In the last round, the club from Istanbul lost to Hapoel Tel Aviv (77:84), demonstrating an unstable game in defense.
Bahcesehir looks especially strong at home, which is confirmed by a 100% result in this Eurocup draw. The team main stars are Jalin Smith and Axel Butel, who continue to lead the team forward. The Turkish team will certainly try to extend its unbeaten streak at home, but given the guaranteed entry into the playoffs, the coaching staff can afford to experiment with rotation.

Current form
Ratiopharm Ulm is in a difficult situation. The German club risks not making it to the playoffs if it does not start to score points in the upcoming matches. The last three matches ended in defeats – the team lost to Gran Canaria (76:83), Trento (71:86) and Buducnost (82:85). All three matches were tense, but in the endings, Ty Garrelson charges made mistakes that cost them victories.
In the Ratiopharm team, it is worth highlighting the key players - forward Karim Jallow, as well as playmaker Justinian Jessup, who are the engine of the attacking game. The Germans understand that the match against the leader is their chance to turn the tide and make a sensation. It is expected that the visitors will play as aggressively as possible, since they simply have no other choice.
