Command Analysis

Anadolu Efes

Current form
The Turkish club is trying to return to the fight for a place in the playoffs, but so far their results leave much to be desired. The team alternates wins with losses, which does not allow them to consistently rise in the standings. At the moment, Anadolu Ephesus is ranked 12th, which is clearly below expectations.
In the last round of the European Cup, the team lost to Panathinaikos (104:89), despite 14 points from Darius Thompson, who became the hero of the match. The key players of the team remain Elijah Bryant and Vincent Poirier, who are able to decide the outcome of matches. The Turks have a home game against Alba ahead of them, and this is a great chance to score points and move closer to the play-in zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Stanley Johnson will miss the next game for personal reasons.
Interesting facts for betting
In the current Euroleague draw, the Turkish club has scored seven victories at home.
Approximate composition: Smiths-Bryant, Poirier-Thompson, Willis.

Alba Berlin

Current form
The German club has already accepted the role of the outsider of the tournament and is just waiting for the end of the season. The Berlin team is focused on the domestic championship, as things are not going well in the Euroleague.
In the last match, Alba lost to Crvena Zvezda with a score of 71:77, which was another disappointment for the fans. The team continues to play outdoor basketball, but the lack of performance and weak defense do not allow it to fight for victories. There is an away match against Anadolu Efes ahead, which is unlikely to bring anything good for the Berlin club.
Disqualifications and injuries

Interesting facts for betting

1.71Tip and bets
Alba should hardly expect a successful away match against Anadolu Efes. The German club is far from optimal shape and it looks like it is already living out the season. On the other hand, the Turkish team has a clear goal — to break into the play-in zone, and they have every chance of doing so.
The home arena, the support of the stands and the motivation to return to the top 10 of the European Cup make Anadolu Efes a clear favorite for the upcoming match. The difference in class between the teams will be noticeable from the very first minutes, and, most likely, the hosts will win a landslide victory.
Our betting tip is that Anadolu Efes will win with a handicap of (-13) points in 1.70
Bet on the total
Anadolu Efes demonstrates an attacking style of play, especially in the home arena. The team knows how to score points, and they will act as aggressively as possible in the upcoming match. Alba, despite his failures, continues to play outdoor basketball, which often leads to high totals. Considering these factors, it is expected that the overall total will be broken. Both teams will try to play fast and efficiently, which increases the chances of scoring a lot of points.
Betting Tip - total more than 167.5 points for 1.70
