Galatasaray Team News
Galatasaray changed their coach at the very end of the season. Andreas Pistiolis was fired, and Montenegrin expert Zvezdan Mitrovic was hired. He made his debut with a convincing away win at Merkezefendi, and if they beat Manisa, they will almost certainly play in the playoffs.
The only problem for Galatasaray is that they have a lower head-to-head record than Buyukcekmece. Many results should coincide so that the yellow-reds from Istanbul remain without the playoffs in the event of a victory over Manisa. Still, the fact is that they are not completely dependent on themselves. Coach Mitrović will primarily have the task of making a good selection and returning Galatasaray to the top of Turkish basketball next season. It is clear that Fenerbahçe and Anadolu Efes are out of reach, but they must be competitive with all the others.
Last season, Galatasaray played the best basketball when it came time for the playoffs. Changing coaches always causes shock therapy; maybe the best is yet to come. For something like that, the priority is to triumph against Manisa first.

Manisa Team News
Until two weeks ago, Manisa was more than threatened in the fight for survival. However, they won the last two matches against Buyukcekmece and Konyaspor and thus secured their place in the Turkish Super League for the next competitive year.
Given that this was Manisa’s first season in the Turkish Super League, the fact that they secured survival is enough for them to be more than satisfied and proud. They have won 12 games so far, and from the very beginning, they were led by the naturalized representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina, John Roberson. He averages over 16 points, and in the last two rounds, he scored 57. The second violin in the attack is the Mexican Paco Cruz, while Oderah Anosike controls the rim and defense.
Manisa has its calculation by which it would be placed in the playoffs of the Turkish Super League. They must surprise Galatasaray on this visit, and Buyukcekmece and Bahcesehir lose their games. Then the four teams would round up to 13-17, and Manisa would be the best, taking eighth place.

Galatasaray vs Manisa Prediction
Galatasaray played the best match of the season against Merkezefendi. Defensively, they were outstanding, and if they repeat the similar edition this time, there is no reason not to beat Manisa. Especially in a situation where a triumph almost certainly earns them a place in the Turkish Superliga playoffs.
