LiontipsAnadolu Efes vs Olimpia Milan. Euroleague match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
The Turkish club is going through a difficult period, having dropped to the bottom of the Euroleague table. The team has lost five games in a row, the last defeat was in the game against Barcelona (80:90). Luka Banka charges have lost stability both in attack and defense. On average, the team has conceded more than 85 points in these matches, which indicates serious problems in defense. The main emphasis in the game is on Darius Thompson and Shane Larkin, who remain the team leaders, but their efforts are not enough.
Anadolu Efes is in 14th place with only 10 wins in 22 matches. If the team does not start winning, its chances of reaching the playoffs will be significantly reduced. The next match will be held at home, where the team traditionally plays more confidently. To succeed, the Turks need a strong start and aggressive play.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team approaches the meeting with an optimal line-up.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last five matches, the Turkish club has won only one victory.
Probable lineup: Smits - Bryant, Poirier - Larkin, Thompson.
Current form
The Italian team is also facing difficulties, but its situation looks somewhat better. The team is ninth in the Euroleague table. However, the last match against Partizan was a failure (70:90). The game was effectively lost already in the second quarter, when the opponent created a comfortable advantage in the score. Before that, three victories in a row were recorded.
The lack of stability prevents the team from maintaining results in long series. In away matches, Olimpia Milan demonstrates average results, but they expect to exploit the weaknesses of the opponent. The Milan club will try to do everything possible not to lose the competition and end up outside the top 10. A tough away game is ahead, but no one has canceled the fight.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fabien Causeur, Nenad Dimitrijevic, Osmane Diop and Joshua Nebo will miss the next match due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last five head-to-head matches, the Milan club has won only one victory.
