Gran Canaria
Besiktas
In the 1/8 finals of the EuroCup basketball playoffs, a match between Turkish Besiktas and Spanish Gran Canaria will take place. The meeting will be held in Las Palmas on Wednesday, March 6th. The game is scheduled to start at 21:00 Central European Time.
Gran Canaria
The Spanish team has been fairly successful this season at home. Apart from the giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, Gran Canaria is only surpassed by Unicaja in the ACB league standings. In the EuroCup, Gran Canaria was in contention for a direct quarterfinal spot for a long time, but three defeats in their last four matches prevented them from finishing higher than third.
Besiktas
The Istanbul "Eagles" had a consistent performance in Group B of the EuroCup, but a collapse in the final matches almost cost them a place in the playoffs. Besiktas suffered comprehensive defeats in their last three matches against London Lions, Paris, and Hapoel, but managed to hold on to the sixth position. Their performance at home has been relatively good, with the team currently sitting in third place with a slight gap behind leaders Fenerbahce and Anadolu.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
- Gran Canaria has lost two of their last three home matches, both times in overtime.
- Besiktas has suffered two consecutive defeats away from home.
- The teams have not previously met each other.
Gran Canaria vs Besiktas Prediction
Bookmakers do not believe in the success of the Turkish team and predict an easy victory for Gran Canaria. Perhaps it is worth agreeing with this assessment and betting on the home team to win with a handicap of -4.
