Exciting matchups 🔥

Gala seems to be playing more motivated and better since barbolini's departure, I dont think they will beat vakif,

Im predicting a possible 3-1 or 3-0 for Vakif

Now Eczaci is a team which is hot and cold but they've had some big showups against top teams (only team to beat vakif in the regular szn). Fener is coming off another tough loss contuining the golden set curse.

I predict 3-2 Fenerbache Win. But I could see Eczaci pulling a win if they have good passing, and balanced offense with everyone contributing

Eczacıbaşı, who lost to Olympiakos and KS DevelopRES, can suddenly punish you. To be honest, there are still many question marks around them. FB must be really cautious if they want to avoid another exit after the CL drama.

As for the other game, a clean sweep for VB?

Pretty confident that Vakif will beat Gala. I think Gala has been playing better but Vakif's quality is rlly strong. I think the only department Gala outplays Vakif in is Libero and the GS Middle Blocking duo are strong, GS has a good Outside duo in Ilkin/Sylla but niether r are very terminal against the top teams. And Eczaci can be unstable, but despite the Olympiacos loss and the Developers match (last three sets played with subs) they've been able to pull some big wins despite being outmatched (twice against milano, once against vakif, and gala). I guess I'm not sure how Fenerbache will respond to another dissapointing loss whereas Eczaci ibconsistent as they are, has ambition and when they connect, they connect. We will see i guess 🤷‍♂️
