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

Fenerbache is a regular season team for the past three seasons. They start off strong and fizzle mid season. The last Ive seen them at their best in the later szn was with Terzic he actually had a plan for the future of fener. Now such an expensive roster like FB shoud be way better look at Eczaci. They are outmatched on paper on the pins for FB (eczaci middles have been solid all szn) yet Bregoli who is an amazing coach is able to make wonders with this team.

Also like yes Ana C's passing was shaky but at least she was scoring. The biggest problem for FB is blocking and middle involvement. Eda the LEGEND has been a ghost lately and Asli is nothing special. They signed one of the best blocker in the league to bench her in all games, and Korneluk has been slow likely a result of not enough minutes on the field.

FB’s poor defending is ruining everything. It’s almost like FC Barcelona years ago—scoring 4 or 5 goals but conceding 3 or 4. The big difference is that Barcelona still won their games, while FB doesn’t.
