Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroLeague match.
In the last round, Bayern Munich suffered a heavy defeat in Serbia against Crvena Zvezda (77:101). They now face an even tougher trip to Turkey. Can the visitors' formidable offence find their rhythm under the pressure from the passionate Anadolu Efes fans?
Anadolu Efes
The Turkish side come into this match on the back of two consecutive EuroLeague defeats. Their offence, however, performed well in both games, scoring 82 and 84 points respectively. Their main issue lay in defence. Paris Basketball and ASVEL racked up 93 and 97 points, and not long before that, Baskonia also put up a significant challenge, scoring 84.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich boast the most formidable attack in the tournament, averaging 88.6 points per game. Their star player, Carsen Edwards, leads the EuroLeague in scoring, with an average of 19.8 points per game. However, their recent encounter with Crvena Zvezda revealed Bayern's defensive frailties, showing they are susceptible to conceding heavily.
Anadolu Efes vs Bayern Munich Prediction
We are looking at a clash between two offensively-minded sides, each facing defensive challenges. What can we expect from this contest? Anything but a low-scoring affair. This is one of those instances where overthinking isn't necessary, so betting on the total over is advised.
