Anadolu Efes vs Olympiacos Prediction: the Greeks Desperately Need This Victory

Prediction for the Euroleague game between Anadolu Efes vs Olympiacos, which will take place on March 19th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

In the previous round, Istanbul confirmed that this is not their season. They struggle to get into the play-in, and losing to ASVEL is a tough blow. Despite having no problems with the squad, the Turkish team continues to fail on the road, with only two wins and 13 defeats. However, Efes still has a chance to stay in the game after the end of the regular season, and they are dangerous at home, with ten victories and four losses. At home, Efes scores an impressive 87 points while allowing 82. However, they have not earned 87 points against opponents who know how to defend. For instance, they scored 79 points against Milan and 78 against Monaco. 

Olympiacos is known for their strong defense, conceding only an average of 75 points per game in away games while scoring 77.5. Bookmakers predict that Efes will worsen their offensive performance, offering us a total over 79.5. Three years ago, Efes failed to reach 79.5 at home, but it has not happened again. The last time they lost to the Greeks at home was in 2017.

The hosts are unlikely to win and reach the total over. It is also unlikely that the team's leaders will throw like Dimitrijević, Hanlan, or Fener did the other day.
