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.
