EuroLeague Prediction: Anadolu Efes vs Real Madrid (29-09-2026)

Anadolu Efes and Real Madrid meet in Istanbul on September 29, with both teams looking to recover from opening-round defeats in the 2026/27 EuroLeague.

Efes lost 89-82 to Barcelona after surrendering a 15-point lead, while Madrid fell 78-77 to Dubai Basketball in a game decided on the final possession.

Their recent head-to-head record provides an interesting starting point for the total points market.

The recent meetings between these teams have been considerably less productive than the current line suggests.

Real Madrid won both EuroLeague encounters last season, beating Anadolu Efes 81-75 in Istanbul before securing an 82-71 home victory in March.

The previous meeting in February 2025 ended 79-73 in Efes’ favour.

Those three games produced 156, 153 and 152 combined points, with neither team reaching 85 in any of them.

There have been substantial roster changes since those encounters, but the opening round provides more recent support.

Real Madrid managed only 77 points against Dubai, struggling to find consistent offensive rhythm.

Pedro Martínez’s side were held to 15 points in the final quarter, while their defensive performance kept the hosts below 80 despite losing the game.

Efes were more productive against Barcelona, scoring 82 points in a 171-point contest. However, that total still finished below the proposed line despite the Turkish side allowing 89 at the Palau Blaugrana.

Madrid’s offensive potential remains the main concern.

They scored 93 against Olympiacos in the EuroLeague Super Cup final and have enough individual quality to produce a considerably better attacking performance than they managed in Dubai.

Nevertheless, neither team’s opening EuroLeague fixture reached 175 points, while their recent direct meetings have consistently finished well below that mark.
