Nilufer will get at least one set in this match. No doubt Eczacibasi are one of the main favorites for the Turkish championship title, and they want to defend being the Champions League champions, but most of their players aren't in good form. Eczacibasi lost their first CL match at home against Casalmaggiore on Tuesday, after five sets played, and a few days prior, they beat Idman Ocagi in five sets in the Turkish championship 3rd round, and they lost the derby to Vakifbank 3-1 in the 2nd round. Since no more than three foreigners can play in a single match, the coach Carpara can't rely on six foreigners he uses for the CL, and he used Larson (receiver), Kreklow (setter) and Poljak (middle block) in the last two matches of the national championship. There was no room for Bošković, Calderon and Furst. He's got a few good Turkish national team players, but the ideal roster he's using for the CL won't be here today.
On the other side are Nilufer who have quality and experience. They've got the experienced receiver Esra Gumus, the second receiver Herera Alvarez, a great opposite Meryem Boz, also Miloš and Gokcen Denkel and Aza Naz. They played two matches this season, after losing to Idman in the last round (1-3), they beat Canakkale in the last round convincingly, 3-0, with an aggressive serve and far less reception mistakes. They've got the material to attack the favored guest, so if Idman could take two sets from Eczacibasi, there is a great chance that Nilufer will win at least one set today.
