Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroLeague match.
Last season's EuroLeague finalist started this season shakily. In nine outings, Real Madrid secured only four victories, the latest of which came just two days ago with a home win over Virtus Bologna (98:86). Can Real Madrid replicate this result against a more formidable opponent?
Real Madrid
Real Madrid, under Mateo Chus, excel in offence, averaging 84.4 points per game. They focus on three-point shooting, ranking third in the league for attempts per game (30.1). However, their main problem lies in defence, which falls short of their expected prowess. Even clear underdogs like Olimpia Milano and Virtus Bologna managed to score 85 and 86 points, respectively.
Anadolu Efes
Anadolu Efes also aim for fast-paced, high-scoring basketball, holding the fifth position for scoring efficiency with an average of 84.9 points per game and 18.8 assists. However, considering the team's less-than-stellar results, it's clear that their defence frequently falters, conceding an average of 83.1 points per game.
Real Madrid vs Anadolu Efes Prediction
We anticipate this clash will be one of the most exciting in the tenth round, as two offensive-oriented teams with weak defences face off. Together, the teams average just over 169 points, so we can expect similar numbers in this match.
