Both teams changed a lot, but Bursa did some better shopping, and the results already show it. Bešiktaš played four games, got four defeats, with only three sets won. Of those four games, only one was against a big team, Galatasaray, the other three were similar to today's rival. Bursa only played three games - one win and two defeats, both in three sets against teams fighting for the title, Fener and Vakifbank. Bursa's advantage is that they have two foreigners in the team, Ivana Miloš as a middle, and Dušanka Karić for a receiver. Karić's got lots of experience from the French clubs. Only one foreigner is playing for Bešiktaš, Sanja Starović as the opposite. She played in the national team for Serbia till last year. The rest of the team are Turks, but even in that segment, Bursa have the advantage. Their setter is ex-Bešiktaš player, Seda Eyruz, Soroglu is the block, Boz is the opposite, all three played for Fenerbahče so they already work like a team. Pelin Celik is the new setter. What stands out is that the coach rotated all three setters in all three games, he wasn't happy with their efficiency. They've got a combo of an experienced and a young player for the reception and the block, and the complete starting lineup are new players who need time to work like a team. Bursa is partially underestimated, so that's worth taking for the set stake.
