Serbia vs Turkey Preview

Two unbeaten giants collide as Serbia and Turkey, both 4-0, fight not only for first place in the group but also to send a clear message before the knockout stage.

This matchup promises star power, intensity and a playoff-like atmosphere even before the elimination rounds begin.

Serbia Form & Team News

Serbia has swept through group play with four wins, most recently crushing Czech Republic 82-60. Their defense has been dominant, while Nikola Jokic continues to be the anchor on both ends.

The squad is not without concerns. Bogdan Bogdanovic is sidelined with a hamstring issue, and Vasilije Micic took a hard hit earlier in the tournament.

Coach Svetislav Pesic has turned to the depth of his roster, and players like Ognjen Dobric have stepped up, stressing that every player’s role has grown in importance.

Even with injuries, Serbia’s system, physicality and experience have kept them in control, and they enter this game with the confidence of a team built for the later stages.

Turkey Form & Team News

Turkey has matched Serbia stride for stride, also unbeaten at 4-0. Their balance has been impressive, with multiple players contributing across the board.

At the heart of it all is Alperen Sengun, who has been a revelation with near triple-double production and dominant interior play.

Coach Ergin Ataman has openly said that his team is aiming for Serbia, not just to top the group but to send a warning shot for the knockout rounds.

With rhythm in attack and energy on defense, Turkey has the confidence to test Serbia’s unbeaten run.

Head to Head

Serbia has controlled recent meetings, winning the last five against Turkey. History favors the Serbians, but current form suggests Turkey is closer than ever to pulling off an upset.

Verdict

TÃ¼rkiye v Serbia

This has the makings of a tight, physical battle between two disciplined defenses. Serbia’s experience and Jokic’s control of tempo give them the edge, but Turkey’s energy and Sengun’s inside presence will keep it close.

With both teams likely to focus on defense and limit mistakes, the pace should be slower than in previous games.
