Virtus Bologna Team News
On Wednesday night, Virtus missed a great opportunity to achieve fifth win in the Euroleague. Although they led in the very end against Panathinaikos, they lost. Sergio Scariolo’s team is currently at 4-5 and will have to do even better if they want to be in top 8 after 34 rounds.
Since beginning of the season, Virtus biggest problem has been lack of creation in offense. Apart from Milos Teodosic, few are able to speed up their game. In moments when the Serbian point guard is on the bench, almost everything comes down to 1 on 1. Semi Ojeleye and Gabriel Lundberg are constantly improving, while Mo Jaiteh played fantastically in Athens. Virtus will also need a much better version of Daniel Hackett, who is nowhere near his level from CSKA days.
Virtus defends three-point shot very well this season and that could be one of the keys for a win against Anadolu Efes. In addition, it is necessary to reduce number of turnovers to a minimum. If they get some easy points under the hoop, they have something to hope for.
Anadolu Efes Team News
After a terrible start of the season and only two wins in first seven rounds, Anadolu Efes has picked up their form. Last week they defeated Barcelona at home and on Tuesday evening they humiliated Milano in Italy, so they arrive in Bologna with a lot of confidence.
With Rodrigue Beaubois return after injury, Vasilije Micic is relieved a lot. Signing of Isaiah Taylor also helped. Will Clyburn continues to play very well and as time goes by, Efes is starting to look like a team that is back-to-back Euroleague champion. There is still a lot of room for improvement, although they are all used to playing their best in last few months of the season, when it is the most important.
Anadolu Efes is a much better team than Virtus. They are aware of this and if they are defensively at the same level as in Milano, they will be very close to achieve third win in a row. The fact that they had an extra day to rest is also in their favor.
H2H
Only two games between Virtus and Anadolu Efes were played back in 2002. Then, the team from Bologna won on both occasions.
Injuries
Awudu Abass won’t play for Virtus, while Toko Shengelia is questionable. Apart from Shane Larkin, all players are available to Anadolu Efes.
Virtus Bologna vs. Anadolu Efes Prediction
Anadolu Efes are in a better momentum, they used much less energy than Virtus and had a day more to prepare for this game. Coach Ataman’s team easily defeated Milano on Tuesday and immediately headed to Bologna. Virtus on the other hand played a tough game in Athens a day later. That is why we expect the visitors to win without any big problems.
