Germany Look To Build On Big Win

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.
