EuroLeague Prediction: Anadolu Efes – Fenerbahce (10-10-2024)

The second round of the Euroleague starts on 9 October, and we will again see top-level basketball. Several intriguing games will be played, including AS Monaco vs. Maccabi, Real Madrid vs. Partizan, and Olympiacos vs. Zalgiris.

This time, we will focus on Thursday’s game in Istanbul, where Anadolu Efes – Fenerbahce will play in the new basketball arena. There’s no doubt that the Istanbul derby will be a great battle, but let’s look at who has the best chance of winning.

Anadolu Efes and Fenerbahce have started the Euroleague season on a winning note. Fenerbahce beat Olympiacos, one of the favourites, 82:71 at home, while Anadolu Efes defeated Bologna Virtus 76:67 away.

Although both teams won, the upcoming game is met with different moods. Fenerbahce lost Scottie Wilbekin to a season-ending injury early in the game.

The team will be looking for reinforcements in the defensive line, but they will have to make do with the existing line-up in the game against Anadolu Efes.

Meanwhile, Anadolu Efes was happy not only with the victory but also with the return of Shane Larkin from injury, who scored 11 points and 16 efficiency points in 23 minutes.

Although Anadolu Efes won, it was not an easy game. The team took control only in the fourth quarter, which it won 25:15. Similarly, Fenerbahce won the fourth period 25:15.

Looking ahead to the upcoming game, we would like to analyse the recent Turkish Cup meeting in which Anadolu Efes won 83:82. However, this result should not discourage you, as the teams in the Euroleague will show a completely different attitude and motivation.

Although Anadolu Efes will have more players in this game, and Fenerbahce will have S. Wilbekin out of the line-up, we prefer a Fenerbahce win.

The main reason Fenerbahce should win the Istanbul derby is better coaching. Wade Baldwin IV has been an excellent presence for Fenerbahce, starting by passing the ball to his teammates and later scoring himself.

In Fenerbahce, every player knows his place and is fully prepared to do his job. Anadolu Efes is a slightly looser team with more improvisation. Fenerbahce seems to have more weapons – they can attack through both defenders and forwards.
