AEK Team News
The team from the capital of Greece has made a very good team this season as well, with a couple of proven and experienced Americans. They were left without the main player from previous seasons, Keith Langford, who was both the alpha and the omega of the yellows from Athens. But they strengthened the team with the Latvian Janis Strelineks, who has been one of the best shooters in the Euroleague for years. However, the biggest reinforcement came directly from the NBA, Tim Fraizer Jr, one of the best playmakers outside of the Euroleague, arrived in Athens, and from the very beginning of the season, he led the attack of AEK. Great in all segmetns of the game.
AEK finished second in Group B, with a score of 3-3, ahead of them was Germany’s Bonn, while they earned the home-field advantage by leaving behind Karsiyaka and Reggio Emilia. They are in seventh place in the Greek championship. The results they achieve are certainly not representative of the roster they have.
It is very important for AEK in this match that they secured the home-field advantage, because it is known that they have a great atmosphere and passionate fans, so it will not be easy for the guests from Bursa. In the last match, they were defeated by PAOK on their field, and Fraizer was the most effective with 22 points.
Tofas Bursa Team News
Tofas is playing well below expectations this season, similar to AEK. They are tied for eighth place in the Turkish championship. During the play-in, they won third place in Group A. In front of them were the French Strasbourg and the Spanish Murcia. This season, they decided to add a couple of experienced names to their team, whose careers are on the wane. A particularly sonorous name is Arturas Milaknis. In addition to Milaknis, there is also former NBA player Tyler Ennis. However, the most this season is shown by Rob Gray and the local player Berk Ugurlu. Tofas focuses a lot on transition play and three-point shooting.
In the last match, Tofas lost away to Darussafaka, and Ugurlu filled all the columns with 20 points and 8 assists. Tofas has many problems this season, first of all under the basket and in defense, but also away from home. They have only three away wins this season.

AEK vs Tofas Bursa Prediction
These two teams met in the finals of the competition a couple of years ago, where Tofas inflicted a painful defeat on AEK, and we expect AEK to take revenge for that defeat on their home field, but also to open the series with a win.
