Bayern Munich vs Anadolu Efes Prediction: Turks to improve their standings position

Efes got off to a poor start as usual. However, over the last two years they lost in Munich and not at the beginning of the season, but now the Germans are in a bad condition, and the upcoming match can help the Turks to correct their position in the standings.

The Munich side averages 70 points a game but concedes 77. Only once in five games have they scored more than 73. At the same time, bookmakers believe that Trinchieri's men can easily match Efes with a higher-scoring performance than usual. They have odds of around 1.6 for Bayern's individual total of over 74.5. Let's try to understand where the bookies got their optimism from.

The Istanbul side is averaging 79 points per 40 minutes of playing time. In four of their five games, they have allowed 74 or more. On the road, Ataman's charges have played only once so far and conceded 82 points from Monaco in regular time. But Monaco, in general, scores that much, that is, the Monegasque did not surprise us. For what reason should surprise Bayern, we do not know.

Maybe the bookies are looking at the results of the previous h2h encounters. Indeed, since Trinchieri stepped up, the Munich team has been playing Efes in a productive way, at least at home.

So, we do not believe in the home team's performance – it is not for nothing that four of the five games involving Bayern saw TU (157.5), with Bayern themselves scoring 73 or less. On the other hand, three far from the most high-scoring teams – Barcelona, Milan and Zvezda – have scored their most points this season in games against the Munich side. We believe that Bayern will most likely play TU again, while Efes may very well confirm or even improve their scoring average of 80 points per 40 minutes, as they score more than all three of them.

• ITO2 (80.5) for 1.90;
• W2+ITO2 (80.5) for 2.25;
• W2+TO (156.5) for 2.80.
