Men’s Turkish Basketball League (TBL) leader Efes Pilsen entertains Galatasaray Cafe Crown in week five action at the Ayhan Şahenk Sports Hall in İstanbul this evening.
Efes Pilsen, which downed previously unbeaten Beşiktaş Cola Turka 88-84 in a thrilling İstanbul derby at the BJK Cola Turka Arena last weekend to take over top spot, is highly favored over scandal-hit Galatasaray Cafe Crown, in what has been dubbed the “match of the week” by the local media.
Galatasaray outlasted archrival Fenerbahçe Ülker 74-72 in overtime in a trouble-marred İstanbul derby at Abdi İpekçi Sports Arena in game four last weekend to stay in touch with the league frontrunners. But Efes is a more formidable opponent than Fener Ülker and so Galatasaray Cafe Crown players may need more than a Houdini touch to be able to upset mighty Efes Pilsen this evening.
The game kicks off at 8 p.m. and will be aired live on Spormax.
