Teams Preview

Turkey

Turkey will be back home for the fourth game of the European Qualifiers. The hosts continued their superiority with three wins a row in the World Cup qualifiers. The Turkish national team enter the matchup with a 82-78 victory against Serbia. They started their campaign with a 93-71 win over Bosnia and then beat Switzerland 85-60. Turkey are proving why they finished runnerup in the 2025 EuroBasket. 

Turkiye built a 46-31 lead at the break but Serbia cut the deficit to three points heading to the final quarter. Turkey held the nerves in the final period to take the game. Turkey shot 47% from the floor and 30% from the three-point line. Defensively, they recorded five steals and five blocks. The hosts rank fourth in scoring (86.7) and fifth in the opposition scoring (69.7). Turkey are leading in the shooting from the floor (52.0%) and third in the three-point shooting (39.5%). 

Tarik Biberovic was the top scorer for Turkey with 22 points, including five three-pointers. Cedi Osman went for 16 points and six assists, while Omer Faruk Yurtseven added 14 points and eight rebounds. If we pick the offensive threat from Turkey, then Tarik Biberovic would be the first name. The forward averaged 19.3 points in the World Cup qualifiers and 10.7 points in Euroleague. We back him to score 15 or more points in the home fixture. 

Serbia

Serbia will conclude the two-game set against Turkey on Sunday with a road fixture. It would be a crucial game for them after a close defeat at home. The visitors snapped a two-game winning streak in qualifiers. Serbia won four out of five matches in the EuroBasket 2025 before falling to Finland in the knockout round. After trailing by 15 points at break, Serbia outscored Turkey 22-11 to make it a three-point game. 

Serbia were shooting 42% from the floor and 27% from the three-point line. The hosts in the previous game had a chance to counter Turkey in the final period but couldn’t cross the line. Serbia are scoring 80.7 points and allowing 80.0 points per game in the WC Qualifiers. They rank sixth in the blocks (3.3) and turnovers per game (9.7). Serbia’s sloppy shooting handed them a first defeat in the qualifiers. 

Bogoljub Markovic led the scoring with 19 points off the bench. Ognjen Dobric went for 17 points, while Stefan Miljenovic dropped 10 points and five rebounds. Only three players reached double figures. Serbia, who produced Nikola Jokic, still have quality offensive players. Markovic could be the offensive threat in the road fixture. The guard averaged 17.3 points in Serbia’s basketball league. We back Markovic to lead the scoring with 15 or more points in the upcoming encounter.
