Preview: Botasspor Adana Visits J&M Canakkale in Turkey A Women’s Basketball

CANAKKALE, Turkey (Interstat) — A matchup of teams at opposite ends of the Turkey A women’s professional basketball standings will take place Saturday when Botasspor Adana visits struggling J&M Canakkale.

The game, scheduled for Feb. 14, 2026, in Canakkale, pits a .500 Botasspor Adana squad (8-8) against a J&M Canakkale team still in search of its first victory this season (0-16).

The visiting side will be heavily favored, especially considering the dominant result from their first meeting this season. On Dec. 6, Botasspor Adana routed J&M Canakkale 117-79. Botasspor is looking to rebound from a 90-68 loss to powerhouse Fenerbahce on Jan. 25, a game where guards Sara Bejedi (21 points, 7 assists) and Damiris Dantas (21 points, 6 rebounds) led the effort.

J&M Canakkale, however, is coming off one of its most competitive performances of the season, a narrow 74-68 loss to Ormanspor on Feb. 7. The home team will lean on guard Sila Kaya, who was exceptional in that defeat, scoring 26 points with 6 rebounds in 40 minutes. Her production will be critical for any chance at an upset.

Despite the historical data and records, a statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a highly unusual 100-100 tie, suggesting potential for an unpredictable contest.

Botasspor Adana has shown offensive firepower, including a 144-point performance in November, but has been inconsistent. J&M Canakkale has struggled defensively, allowing an average of over 90 points per game.

Following this contest, Botasspor Adana will host Ormanspor on Feb. 21. J&M Canakkale faces a difficult road test at Galatasaray on the same date.
