Bahcesehir vs Cedevita Olimpija Tips & Live Stream - Istanbul's gritty face-off in Eurocup

The EuroCup quarterfinals tip off with a high-stakes showdown as Bahcesehir and Cedevita Olimpija clash at Ülker Sports Arena.

With a first-place group finish and home-court advantage, the hosts enter as favorites, but the Slovenian side is hungry to take down another Turkish contender.

Expect a fierce, full-throttle battle where both teams fight for every possession and refuse to back down until the final buzzer.

Bahcesehir Form & Team News

Bahcesehir have hit a major slump in March, desperately searching for a way out just as the season’s most crucial games approach.

Their five-game losing streak across all competitions finally came to an end last weekend with a narrow 89-88 victory over last-placed Yalovaspor in the domestic league. While that win brought some relief to the fans, it’s clear that the teams aren’t operating at full throttle compared to the start of the season.

Tyler Cavanaugh led the way with 18 points, while Marko Simonović delivered a strong double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Former NBA player Furkan Korkmaz also contributed with 15 points.

The squad has been reinforced with the return of Mateusz Ponitka after a month-long injury absence, but his impact in the last two games has been minimal.

Cedevita Olimpija Form & Team News

From a disappointing start to the season, Cedevita Olimpija have battled their way into contention for a EuroCup semifinal spot.

The biggest credit for their turnaround goes to head coach Zvezdan Mitrović, who has once again proven his quality, despite being sidelined for part of the season due to health issues.

Cedevita Olimpija secured their quarterfinal berth with a 96-86 win over Besiktas in the previous round. As has been the case many times this season, the Robinson-Lemar duo led the charge, combining for 41 points, while four more players scored in double figures–Jones (14), Stewart (13), Beringer (13), and Nikolić (12).

Their recent form suggests this playoff push is no fluke. Over the weekend, they took down EuroLeague playoff contender Crvena Zvezda 74-69 on their home court, with another strong showing from Brynton Lemar and Devin Robinson, who each scored 15 points.

Unfortunately, their win over Besiktas came at a cost, as captain Jaka Blažič suffered an injury that is likely to sideline him for the remainder of the season.

Head to Head

History will be made as these two teams face off for the first time ever.

Cedevita Olimpija have already battled Turkish opposition three times this season, falling twice to Türk Telekom but delivering when it mattered most with a decisive win over Besiktas in the Round of 16.
