Efes A. - Olympiacos About a month ago, Efes didn't seem to be in a good mood, as it has been for the last few years in the first matches. It was coming off poor performances and away defeats like the one against Valencia at home followed by a tough win at weak Alba at home and then 3 straight defeats against Fener, Bayern and Real. Somewhere there he showed that he is coming to his senses and counts 3 consecutive victories against Barcelona at home and 2 away in Italy against Armani and Virtus. Misic and Clyburn continue to pull the whole paddle staying on the floor well over 30' in all matches for the Euroleague at least as in the Turkish league they get enough breathers. The return of Larkin, who has been training with the team for several days and is likely to be in the 12th for today's match, is also approaching. There are no more absences.
On the other hand, Olympiacos continues to be in the first positions of the standings, but now there is no freshness and performance of the first matches. The Devil's Week was spent with a 1-1 record as they were defeated in Tel Aviv by Maccabi despite being in front for most of the match but in the end they could not withstand the pressure of the home team. In the second in the SEF, he won, but not easily, the stubborn Alba who always found a way to stay close to the score without, of course, achieving anything more. There was a problem with Peters who, however, followed the team to the City as usual.
In summary, I think that Efes has the first reason, but Olympiacos will not be easy prey. They are 2 teams playing at a fast tempo and I expect the score to go up quite a bit.
The point I choose is Effects (-2.5 & Over 156.5 pts) into a Combo in total odds 2.47 at stoiximan.
