Maccabi Tel Aviv is excellent at home, but don’t forget that Anadolu Efes are an uncomfortable opponent for the Israelis. The Turkish team has won six of their last seven games in Tel Aviv. It’s not out of the question that they could do well again in Tel Aviv. With all of the above in mind, we suggest that Ergin Ataman’s side should be favoured.
Maccabi is one of the highest-scoring teams in the league. The Israelis are averaging 84 points in their home Euroleague games. It’s likely that this style of play will force Anadolu Efes to be more aggressive offensively. It should be a high-scoring game.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is considered one of the best home teams in the Euroleague. Oded Kattash’s men won six of their seven games on home soil. The only defeat for the Israelis came against Barcelona (79-86). Thanks to their triumph, the Tel Aviv team moved into eighth place in the Euroleague standings.
Last week, Maccabi visited Alba Berlin. The Israelis had no problems in that encounter. Jarrell Martin’s 21 points and Jalen Adams’ 17 points brought the team home with an 83-70 win.
Maccabi Tel Aviv has won 86% of its home games of the season.
In Maccabi’s matches, 162 points are scored on average.
The Turkish team are struggling to keep their position in the play-off zone. So far Anadolu Efes are in seventh place, but that could change at any time. Ergin Ataman’s men are too unstable, and another defeat might put them outside the top eight.
It’s worth noting that Anadolu Efes lost their last away game. Last week, the Turks lost to Partizan (79-82). However, on the whole, Ataman’s men did well outside the home city.
They’ve won four of their seven games.
Anadolu Efes has lost 57% of its away meetings.
In visitors’ matches, 160 points are scored on average.
Kattash’ side has scored more than 80 points in 3 of its last 4 games. We offer to bet on “Maccabi Tel Aviv Points Over 80.5” with odds of 1.83.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Maccabi Tel Aviv: Lorenzo Brown – Wade Baldwin IV – Bonzie Colson – Alex Poythress – Josh Nebo.
Anadolu Efes: Vasilije Micić – Rodrigue Beaubois – Will Clyburn – Amath M’Baye – Ante Žižić.
The fixture will be played at Menora Mivtachim Arena (10.383) in Tel Aviv, Israel.
This starting whistle will sound on the 29th of December 2022, at 19:05 UK Time.
