Valencia Team News
Valencia basketball players won only once in the last four rounds of the Euroleague. It is interesting that they managed to overcome the strongest opponent in that period, Barcelona. They were defeated by Bayern, Olimpia Milano, and Crvena Zvezda, and the last two failures were consecutive.
They have not been recording good results in the ACB league either, where they lost two of the last three games. Last weekend they failed against Baskonia 79-85, so the duel against the current European champion does not come at the best time for the players of coach Alex Mumbru.
The realization of offensive possessions is the main problem of Valencia lately, especially in crucial moments. Both against Red Star in the Euroleague and against Baskonia in the ACB League, they made stupid mistakes at key moments and missed some open shots.
Victor Claver, Martin Hermannsson, and Sam Van Rossom will again be out of the roster due to injuries, so the coaching staff will not be able to count on these three important players. Center Jasiel Rivero and guard Jared Harper joined this list after Sunday’s game, so Valencia will be further weakened for the clash against Efes.
Anadolu Efes Team News
Anadolu Efes is also not excelling lately. They have won two of their last five games in the Euroleague, but the way they have been playing is not impressing anyone. In the last round, they defeated Asvel in Istanbul, but the French were leading for most of the match, and the Efes players made a turnaround only at the end of the game. Before that clash, they defeated Maccabi, Partizan, and Baskonia, and the only remaining triumph was against Panathinaikos.
They continued their poor performances last weekend in the domestic championship. Turk Telekom demolished them 70-85 in Ankara and a lot of things in the game of the double-consecutive European champion did not work as they should have.
Their current win-loss ratio in the Euroleague is 9-8, which is below expectations. However, their form oscillated in an identical way to the last campaign during the regular season. However, they improved dramatically in the playoffs and later succeeded in climbing the European throne for the second time in a row. Therefore, Anadolu Efes should not be underestimated.
Valencia vs Anadolu Efes H2H
In the first meeting of the season, Valencia shocked Anadolu Efes in Istanbul 92-91 thanks to the great play of Chris Jones in the key moments of the game.
Valencia vs Anadolu Efes Prediction
Although the quality of Anadolu Efes’ play is far below expectations, we believe that Valencia’s problems are more pronounced. We believe that individual quality is on the guests’ side and that they will use it to triumph in this match.
