In their head-to-head encounters, Anadolu Efes have the advantage. Anadolu Efes won three of their four head-to-head matches. With that in mind, we suggest favouring the reigning champions.
Monaco is a fast team, but I think that Anadolu Efes will be able to stop the hosts’ attacks. After all, Anadolu Efes is excellent defensively. This season, Ataman’s men are allowing an average of 67 points. The game in Monte Carlo is unlikely to be productive.
Monaco made a good start in the Euroleague. In the first leg, Monaco left Virtus Bologna no chance on the road. Despite the support from the stands, Monaco won by a comfortable score (83-66). Mike James scored the most points for the visitors. Mike James scored 26 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.
It should be noted that Monaco hasn’t lost a single game this season. The team has four wins in the LNB Pro A league. The team is in the lead in the domestic championship.
Last season, Monaco scored 83.4 points per game on average.
Monaco has 37 rebounds per game this season.
The reigning champions continue to churn out victories. Anadolu Efes won three times in the Turkish championship. In its last game, Ergın Ataman’s men defeated Petkim Spor (89-79).
In the Euroleague, the team from Istanbul also enjoyed a comfortable win. In the opening game, the Turkish team defeated Crvena Zvezda. Crvena Zvezda was defeated with a score of 72-59.
Last season, Anadolu Efes scored 81 points per game on average.
Anadolu Efes has 32 rebounds per game this season.
Anadolu Efes has not scored more than 81 points in 3 of its last 4 games. We offer to bet on “Efes Points – Under 81.5” with odds of 1.93.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Monaco: Mike James – Jordan Loyd, Jaron Blossomgame – John Brown, Donatas Motiejūnas.
Anadolu Efes: Vasilije Micić – Rodrigue Beaubois, Elijah Bryant – Bryant Dunston, Ante Zizic.
