Beylikdüzü — Haznedar Doruk: 67:77, TB2L

Haznedar Doru secured a 77-67 win away at Beylikdüzü in the Turkish TB2L on Thursday. The result leaves the hosts in ninth place and the visitors tenth, both sides carrying zero points from draws across their 20-game campaigns.

Our forecast had suggested a home victory with 64 per cent confidence, but Beylikdüzü never got out of second gear. They failed to build momentum and handed the visitors a result they had little right to expect.

The visitors arrived with a difficult run behind them. They had lost 70-123 to Korlu and 90-141 to Kutahya in their two most recent outings. Yet here they held their nerve and punished a home side that looked disjointed.

Beylikdüzü had found some rhythm on 13 February, winning 103-69 against Haznedar Doru at home. This time the line has barely moved. They dropped points again, this time by ten, and the gap between them and safety remains wide.

The away side's recent form tells a harsher story. Losses to Eskisehir and Kechiren Beglum followed a heavy defeat in Istanbul. They are staring at the drop and this win changes nothing in the table.

Both clubs sit in the lower reaches with identical records in draws—none. The home side's seven wins offer more substance than the visitors' three, but on this evening the difference was negligible.
