Serbia Team News
Pešić chosen players were in a very unenviable position when forming the third and last group for the World Championship, where they came with a score of 1-3 and a shocking defeat against Belgium. But the window before Eurobasket brought them two very important victories, where they played in the strongest team led by Jokić and company.
They first defeated Greece, led by Giannis, and then Turkey in a tense game full of tension in Istanbul. They are currently on the score of 4-3 because, in Britain, they beat the hosts Great Britain harder than expected. But the victory is written, and the game is forgotten. Now it’s their turn for the Turkish national team, which they are waiting for in a combined lineup, but reinforced with Gudurić and Lučić.
Coach Pešić will not be able to count on Vasilije Micić, who was banned by Ataman, the coach of Efes and coach of Turkey, to play in this match. Serbia plays in a combined team, but they still have enormous individual qualities and with this victory, they would be within reach of the world championship.
A full house is expected, especially because of the last match, where many were revolted by the behavior of the Turkish fans, players, coach Ataman and the judging criteria itself.
Turkey Team News
The Turkish national team lost almost bizarrely in the round of 16 of the Eurobasket against France. A four-point difference and an unsportsmanlike error were not enough, that is, two throws for Osman and a ball from the side, about fifteen seconds before the end of the match. The Turks managed to lose that and not advance further.
In the qualifiers for the world championship, they are in an unenviable position after losing to Serbia at home and are on the scoreboard 3-4. They did the first part of the job, as they had a game on Friday that they had to win to stay in the race for the World Championship. They beat Belgium by 30 points. Now they want to get revenge on Serbia for the defeat in Istanbul. But it will not be easy for them, because a hellish atmosphere awaits them in Belgrade.
Ataman will not be able to count on Larkin and players from the NBA league, primarily on Sengun, Osman, and Korkmaz, and not even on Sanli. Nevertheless, there are a lot of quality names in the composition of Turkey. The team includes Scottie Wilbekin, who will be the leader of this team in the window. Bursa players, Onuralp Bitim and Saybir are in great form. Team captain Melih Mahmutoglu has found his shooting rhythm and will be a serious threat from the field.

Serbia vs. Turkey Prediction
With this victory, Serbia opens the door to the world championship. In front of their audience, they will try to beat their old rivals, the Turks. We think they have the quality and width to play a great game and win this match. Until the end, only one victory would be enough for them to ensure participation in the world’s strongest competition.
Turkey will play without NBA players Osman, Sengun, and Korkmaz, as well as without Lakin. While the main players Jokić, Bogdanović, Kalinić, and Micić will not play for Serbia. The Serbian national team is very weakened, and it can be said that this is the third or fourth team in terms of strength at Pešić disposal.
