It’s the final stretch of the Turkish Super League regular season, and Karsiyaka and Anadolu Efes are set to play a rescheduled Round 27 matchup.

Karsiyaka, after a tough battle, have managed to secure their place in the league, and now, in a relaxed atmosphere without any pressure, they’ll have a chance to improve their record against the two-time EuroLeague champions, who will be entering the playoffs from the No. 3 seed.

Karsiyaka Form & Team News

The former Turkish champion has had a very turbulent season, marked by a financial crisis that led to most of the foreign players leaving the club midway through the season.

Up until that point, the Izmir-based club had been performing excellently in both the domestic league and the Champions League. However, as key players began to leave one by one, it became clear that the team would slip out of the playoff zone and start fighting for survival in the league.

As the season progressed, the club found some stability. They brought in a few experienced foreign players who were key in helping Karsiyaka achieve their goal and secure their place in the league several rounds before the end of the season.

The players who made the biggest difference were Roberto Gallinat and Machael Smith, who joined the club in February and March. They played a crucial role in important wins against Bursaspor and Petkim Spor.

We’ll see what the future holds for this club next season, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Karsiyaka becomes a serious contender for a top finish again.

Anadolu Efes Form & Team News

After the conclusion of their EuroLeague campaign, Anadolu Efes have one more remaining goal: winning the trophy in the domestic championship.

Just like in the EuroLeague, Efes have had a season full of ups and downs in the domestic league. So far, they have suffered 7 losses, and they will finish the regular season in third place, behind Fenerbahçe and Besiktas.

This means that we could see a playoff series between Fenerbahçe and Anadolu Efes in the semifinals if these teams, as expected, get past the first round.

This will be Efes’ first game since their Game 5 loss to Panathinaikos, and it remains to be seen how they will approach this game, which is not crucial for them, after their disappointing EuroLeague elimination.

It’s worth mentioning that Rodrigue Beaubois is still sidelined due to injury, but the club is already considering extending his contract. Alongside him, new contracts are likely for Elijah Bryant and P.J. Dozier, who has significantly improved his level of play in the season's final stretch.

Head to Head

These two clubs have a rich history of head-to-head matchups. Often, these have been exciting games with high scores, but lately, Efes have been enjoying much more success.
