Galatasaray MCT Technic will look to bounce back from consecutive defeats when they host French side SIG Strasbourg in their second FIBA Basketball Champions League Group B match in Istanbul Tuesday.
The game will tip off at 8 p.m. local time (5 p.m. GMT) at Sinan Erdem Sports Hall, with the Turkish team aiming to pick up its first victory in this season's European competition.
Galatasaray opened their Basketball Champions League campaign with a 96-76 away defeat against Croatian club Cibona Zagreb, leaving them without a win after the first round of group matches.
The Istanbul side also suffered a setback in Türkiye's domestic Basketball Super League, losing away to city rivals Besiktas on Sunday.
Having struggled in their recent outings, Galatasaray will now turn their attention back to European competition as they seek to get their Group B campaign on track.
SIG Strasbourg, meanwhile, head into the Istanbul matchup following a convincing start to their Champions League campaign, having defeated Polish side Legia Warsaw 100-62 at home.
The French team will look to build on that result when they face Galatasaray, who will have home-court advantage as they attempt to secure their first points in Group B.
