Alba Berlin has looked excellent in its previous three matches, so we doubt that it will be easy for Anadolu Efes. Even on the home court, the team will probably face some difficulties. It’s unlikely that they’ll be able to crush Alba.
Alba Berlin plays too aggressively. Efes is unlikely to be able to stop the team from Berlin. We think the visitors will force the hosts to accept the rules of the game.
The Turks have scored more than 85 points in their last three games.
Anadolu Efes was unpleasantly surprised in its last game. Ergin Ataman’s men unexpectedly lost at home to Valencia (91-92). The Turks, for some reason, decided to play open ball against Valencia. As a result, they lost.
Their loss to Valencia was Anadolu Efes’s second in the Euroleague. Before that, the Istanbul team lost on the road to Monaco (92-95). Their only victory came against Crvena Zvezda (72-59).
Anadolu Efes won 86% of its home games last season. The team is averaging 35 rebounds per game this season.
After three rounds, Alba is suddenly regarded as one of the best teams in the tournament. So far, Alba Berlin has not lost a single match. In the last round, Israеl González’s men defeated Panathinaikos (94-65) at home.
I’d like to mention the excellent play of Luke Sikma and Tamir Blatt. In the last game, they were the best players on the team. Together, they scored 31 points, 16 rebounds and 13 assists.
Alba lost 71% of its away meetings last season. The team is averaging 42.5 rebounds per game this season.
In Anadolu Efes’ last three games, more than 40.5 points were scored in the first quarter. We offer to bet on “1st Quarter Points – Over 40.5” with odds of 1.77.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Anadolu Efes: Vasilije Micić – Rodrigue Beaubois, Will Clyburn – Amath M’Baye, Ante Zizic.
Alba Berlin: Jaleen Smith – Tamir Blatt – Louis Olinde – Luke Sikma – Christ Koumadje.
The fixture will be played at Sinan Erdem Dome (16.000) in Istanbul, Turkey.
This starting whistle will sound on the 21st of October, 2022, at 18:30 UK Time.
