Anadolu Efes visits Beşiktaş Milangaz on Dec. 31 hoping to end the year on top of the Beko Basketball League.

Efes, which leads the league with 10 wins out of 11 matches, will maintain its spot with a win.

Beşiktaş Milangaz, which has a record of 8-3 behind Galatasaray Medical Park, Banvit and Fenerbahçe Ülker in the standings, respectively, will try to get back to winning ways after losing two of its last three league contests.

“That is an important and critical game for us,” Beşiktaş Milangaz center Erwin Dudley was quoted as saying on the club’s website. “We will try to beat Anadolu Efes with the help of our fans, just as they did in games against Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe.”

The match will be the highlight of four matches on the last day of the year. Mersin BB will host high-flying Banvit, Erdemirspor takes on Olin Edirne and Antalya BB meets Medical Park Trabzonspor.
