Another euroleague match with great interest as two of the three teams sharing the top of the standings play in Milan.
Very good look for Armani where he was imposed by Maccabi with 92-88. Maccabi but Armani showed a tough nut in the end, and he got the better of the points and got the win right without any of his 27 players. The usual suspects did the job again with Skola and Rodriguez being the first violins to score 20 and 18 points respectively with the second having also shared 11 finishes. Mitsov, Tarcevski, and Nedovic were also well-known supporters, who were also double digits.
Efes, on the other hand, comes from a big win in France over Willembrand and became the first team this year to topple Astrobal. Of course the stress is greater as we are aware of the pressure the home team puts on. Only 9 players had effective participation with what this may mean in a double race. With Shanley deserving to replace Daston but defensively issues and this is a problem that Ataman must solve.
summarizing I believe that Armani has changed level and in its headquarters is truly invincible. Since the toughest Maccabi has failed, I don't think the lighter Efes can lose enough of its power.
The point I choose is ... Armani (-3.5 pts) in performance 2.13 in Betshop.
