Anadolu Efes had a great start to the season. In the opening match, the Blues left Virtus with no chance away. However, the music did not play for long. In the second round, the Istanbul team lost to Fenerbahce (78:83) on their home court, and then there was a defeat to Maccabi (91:93).
Anadolu Efes missed the playoffs last season and after their recent results, the Blues are in danger of doing so again.

Justus Hollatz and Daniel Oturu will not play.

The Blues have been playing too poorly in defense lately. They are letting in too many goals. For example, in the last two games they have allowed their opponents to score at least 83 points.

1.75Tip and bets
The last time the Greeks won away against Anadolu was in 2017. It will be very difficult for them to count on success, because this is an inconvenient opponent for them. This season, Olympiakos managed to lose away to Fenerbahce, so everything could happen again.
Our prediction is Anadolu Efes win at 2.05
Bet on total
It is quite possible that the visitors will try to play reliably under their own basket. They have a good defensive line, so we think that the match will not be particularly productive.
Forecast - total under 158.5 points for 1.80
Bet on statistics
In 2 of 3 Euroleague games, the Blues didn't even score 80 points. Considering the Greeks' defense, there a high probability that history will repeat itself.
Prediction - Anadolu Efes: Total under 80.5 points for 1.78
