Istanbul lost in Barcelona last week with 74 points. They had a dreadful final quarter, earning only 10 points. Will Clyburn played almost 28 minutes and hit three of 12 shots, being one of the most inefficient players, along with Bobua. The team lost control under the backboard (25:35) and let the Catalans hit 32 of 42 two-point shots. All in all, it was not an impressive performance.
The bookmakers believe that the Turks will perform better at home - some even have Efes as a favorite. Perhaps they know that only the hosts have won nine games in a row. Of course, this does not include matches on neutral ground, where the hosts are drawn.
Real Madrid
Madrid played an exhibition match against Dallas on Tuesday. Nothing special, but Tavares joined the team and spent more than 16 minutes on the floor. So Eddie is ready to play, and it will be fun in the paint for Efes again, just like it was in Barcelona the other day.
In the first round, Real Madrid finally beat Baskonia, something they never managed to do last season. It is valuable that it was an away win. By the way, the Meringues went into the fourth quarter five points behind Barca, but they allowed them to do exactly what Barcelona did to Efes. Their opponent gained only 10 points in the last 10 minutes. Efes hasn't scored less than 88 points against Real Madrid since the 20/21 season, but those were all spring games until the end of last season.
Expert Betting Tips
The bookmakers consider the hosts' favorites, convinced that the Istanbul team will play efficiently. We have no such conviction and don't believe in Efes either.
