Germany look to avoid a let-down after pulling off the upset of the 2007 EuroBasket Women so far against the Czech Republic, knowing they still have their backs to the wall with just a 1-2 record in the Group E qualifying round in Vasto.

Awaiting them will be a desperate Turkey side who are 0-3 and would be eliminated with another defeat.

		A bad back has kept Yilmaz on the bench for most of Turkey's EuroBasket Women campaign.

Last Time Out: Germany shocked the defending champions Czech Republic 54-47 while Turkey were thrashed by Belgium, 85-63.

Key Match-Up: Yasemin Horasan vs. Linda Fröhlich: Germany's top star is a complete all-arounder (17.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals) who does anything and everything her team needs to win and Horasan will have to find a way to stop her.

X-Factor: Nevriye Yilmaz: The status of Turkey's top player is not clear after she did not play against Belgium because of a lingering back problem which also kept her out of the preliminary round match against the Czech Republic.

Key Stats: The tough German defense may have held the Czechs to 47 points, but the offense was atrocious, committing 25 turnovers. That must improve against the Turks.

Sounding Off: German star Fröhlich, who played last season with Fenerbahce: “I know them from Turkey and they're very physical, they're fast and are great shooters. It's gonna be a handful to defend them. But if we don't win this game, the victory against the Czechs was meaningless.”
