Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the EuroCup regular season match.
In the third round of the EuroCup, two leaders from Group A will clash: Gran Canaria and Bahçeşehir Koleji. Both sides remain unbeaten, but the Turkish club sits slightly higher due to a superior points difference (+32).
Gran Canaria
The Spanish team from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, has made a vibrant start to the season. They've claimed victories in all four of their matches across all competitions, scoring at least 80 points in each game. In their latest EuroCup fixture, Gran Canaria edged out Budućnost VOLI in overtime (89:86), thanks to Caleb Homesley's standout performance with 23 points. The American guard is quite familiar with Turkish basketball, having played for Tofaş last year and averaging 16.4 points per game in the Super League.
Bahçeşehir Koleji
Bahçeşehir Koleji, on the other hand, have been delighting their fans with high-scoring displays. The Turkish side averages 83 points per match. In the second round, they thoroughly dismantled Beşiktaş (87:66), posting at least 20 points in each quarter and achieving a team field goal percentage of 57.1%.
Gran Canaria vs Bahçeşehir Koleji Prediction
Both teams play high-scoring basketball and consistently surpass the individual total of 80 points. Together, they are more than capable of combining for a total of 164 points. We’re betting on a high-scoring affair.
