Command Analysis

Anadolu Efes

Current form
The Turkish club made a lot of efforts to secure a place in the Euroleague top 10. Tomislav Mijatovic team won two confident victories in a row, first over Panathinaikos (93:67), and then over Crvena Zvezda (89:67). This allowed Anadolu Efes to rise to eighth place and get a chance to fight for a place in the top six.
Key players such as Rodrigue Beaubois and Elijah Bryant continue to demonstrate consistent performance in attack. Playing at home and high motivation make the Turkish club a clear favorite in the upcoming match.

Partizan

Current form
The Serbian team demonstrated an excellent level of play in the last rounds, winning five matches in a row. However, in the last round, Partizan lost to the French ASVEL (79:82) in a tough fight.
