Anadolu Efes vs Virtus Prediction: Will the Italian team be able to shine, not just in one quarter, but in the game?

Prediction for the Euroleague Anadolu Efes vs Virtus match which will take place on January 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Anadolu Efes

There is no point in counting how many games Efes have lost in a row. Larkin was terrible in Athens on Tuesday. He was excused from the national championship game on Sunday, and yet. Fifty-three minutes on the floor in Madrid weren't wasted. Whether the whole of Efes and Shane Larkin will play better on Friday than they did on Tuesday is a big question.

Either way, the Istanbulians are averaging 82 points and 84 conceded per game at home. In December's home games (and there were three), they lost all their second halves but didn't lose to anyone in the first half.

Virtus

The Italians played Maccabi Belgrade on Wednesday, scoring 45 points in the first half but fizzling out in the second - a measly 33 points and a defeat. Virtus scored only 78 points against the Israelis, the most or less Maccabi have conceded against Fener. Efes defends a little better than the Israelis, but as it turns out, Virtus can't attack.

Expert Betting Tips

So Virtus comes to Maccabi, allowing 86 points per game and scoring just 78, missing the line more often than scoring. Efes misses less than the Israelis. Will the Italian team be able to shine, not just in one quarter, but in the game?
