Anadolu Efes vs Barcelona Prediction: the Hosts Concede Way Too Much Recently

Prediction for the Euroleague match between Anadolu Efes vs Barcelona, which will take place on Octobre 29th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Istanbul team played two home matches. They lost the first one to Fenerbahçe, with a score of 83 points. They also beat Olympiacos 91-89. As you can see, Efes is conceding a lot - at home and away. They got 93 points from Maccabi and even 84 from Milan. Meanwhile, the bookies consider Barcelona's individual total over 80.5 as the best option. Regarding Efes' performance, the loss of Larkin will impact their results, so we are more inclined to anything under 83.5.

Barcelona has also lost an important player, as Laprovittola is out with a knee injury. On the bright side, Satoransky and Nunez are good to go, so Barcelona still has two solid point guards. Efes can't do that. Even so, the bookies have Efes as their favorite. Last season, under Grimao, Barça lost in Istanbul and only managed to earn 74 points. With Jasikevičius, they racked up at least 79 points against Efes at home.

Laprovittola's injury hasn't had much of an effect on Barça's attack, either in terms of organisation or scoring. The Catalans are more than capable of reaching the total over and even winning.
