1.79Tip and bets
Galatasaray is in a difficult situation that requires an immediate exit. Four defeats in a row not only undermined the team's tournament positions, but also affected the morale of the players. If the people of Istanbul want to compete for high places, they must urgently correct the situation.
Bahcesehir, in turn, looks more collected. Dejan Radonjic's players continue to alternate between wins and losses, but generally demonstrate organized basketball. They are one step away from sixth place, and the match against the crisis Galatasaray is a great chance to rise higher.
Despite the good form of the guests, it is worth noting that the team does not always demonstrate a stable game in away meetings. Playing against a neighbor is always a challenge, especially when an opponent, even if in crisis, is motivated to end his unsuccessful streak.
Our forecast is for Galatasaray to win in overtime in 1.72

Forecast - total more than 164.5 points in 1.66
