Anadolu Efes Team News

The players of Anadolu Efes started slowly this season as well. Until recently, they had a negative win-loss ratio (2-5), and then they achieved three consecutive triumphs and are currently in seventh place in the table.

Although they played two games in Italy last week, against serious opponents Olimpia Milano and Virtus, they managed to outwit both Italian teams. Before that, they defeated Barcelona at home, so they enter this match with a lot of optimism.

Apart from Vasilije Micic and Will Clyburn who have been the main strength of Anadolu Efes since the beginning of the season, Rodrigue Beaubois is in better and better form and is a great help to the Serbian-American tandem. Power forward Amath M’Baye’s contribution has also been consistent. Shane Larkin’s return to the floor is approaching, and according to the Turkish media, he will be ready to play next week.

Olympiacos Team News

Olympiacos has achieved seven victories in 10 matches so far. With such a ratio of wins and losses, they are currently in second place in the table, and Real Madrid, Barcelona and Monaco have the same ratio. Fenerbahce is in first place with a score of 9-1.

The attack of the team from Piraeus is working very well this season. The brilliant Sasha Vezenkov, who was named MVP of the Euroleague in November, is certainly the most responsible for the good results. His average index rating this month is 29.4, and he averaged 19 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.8 steals. Great credit for the good results goes to Kostas Sloukas, and the experienced playmaker makes a big contribution on both sides of the court.

The primary task of this team on the road in Istanbul will be to stop Micic and Clyburn. Their main defenders will be Thomas Walkup and Kostas Papanikolaou, so it remains to be seen whether this tandem will succeed in this.
