ISTANBUL (Interstat) — Fenerbahce (5-2) will host Turgutlu (0-3) on Saturday in a women’s professional basketball game, with the home side seeking to build on a high-scoring recent run and the visitors looking for their first victory of the season.

Fenerbahce enters after a 101-51 win at Rapid Bucuresti, a result that showcased a balanced attack. Lauren Betts, the player to watch for Fenerbahce, produced 16 points and 12 rebounds in that game while playing 25 minutes, and she also had two assists and one block. Laura Juskaite added 13 points and five rebounds in the win, while Nell Angloma recorded 13 points and 10 rebounds. In an earlier outing, Betts scored 12 points and grabbed five rebounds in 10 minutes and added two assists. Fenerbahce’s season has included a 69-81 loss at Besiktas and home wins over Melikgazi Kayseri, Nesibe and Emlak, among other results. The home team will look to control the paint and use its depth against a Turgutlu side still searching for consistency.

Turgutlu has opened the season with three losses. Dyaisha Fair has been the team’s most productive player and has carried a heavy workload. In her most recent game, a 49-83 home loss to Besiktas, Fair played 35 minutes and finished with 19 points and five rebounds. Zilan Kiran Ronahi added 11 points and six rebounds in that game, while Dilara Tongar had two points, one rebound and three assists. Fair scored 27 points with eight rebounds and seven assists in a 58-64 loss at Kayseri, and she had 14 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in a 65-83 loss to Nesibe Aydin. She has played 40 minutes in each of Turgutlu’s previous two games before the most recent result, making her durability and shot creation central to the visitors’ hopes. Kiran Ronahi played 21 minutes in the most recent game, and Tongar played 11 minutes.

The matchup will contrast Fenerbahce’s 5-2 record and recent scoring totals with Turgutlu’s 0-3 start and reliance on Fair. Fenerbahce has several productive frontcourt options, including Betts, Juskaite and Angloma, while Turgutlu will need Fair to continue creating offense. The visitors will also need support from Kiran Ronahi and Tongar, who were among the team’s most productive players in the most recent result. Fenerbahce’s most recent league results include a loss at Besiktas after wins against Kayseri, Nesibe and Emlak. Turgutlu’s losses have come against Besiktas, Kayseri and Nesibe Aydin.
