Petkim Spor vs Anadolu Efes: Analysis and Prediction – Petkim Spor and Anadolu Efes will play an Turkish Super League game.
Petkim Spor vs Anadolu Efes Odds
Petkim Spor Team News
Petkim Spor has secured two wins in the last five games. They won Tofas in overtime and were better than Manisa. However, they left the court defeated in games against Fenerbahce, Besiktas, and Merkezefendi.
The positive aspect in those losses is the fact that they provided significant resistance to teams far more talented than their own capacities. Against Besiktas, they lost by 66:62, and even against Fenerbahce, they managed to offer substantial resistance, losing 96:85. This demonstrated how well they can play against a team that is a contender for the EuroLeague trophy. Center Mahir Agva scored 21 points in the last game. The leader of this team is the American guard David Efianayi, averaging 20.4 points along with slightly less than three rebounds and assists per game.
The schedule is not in favor of Petkim Spor as, after Besiktas and Fenerbahce, they are now slated to play against Anadolu Efes. This puts them in the role of a significant underdog for the third consecutive time. They will have to play at a high level in both offense and defense for the full 40 minutes, otherwise, any lapse will be exploited by their opponent.
Anadolu Efes Team News
Anadolu Efes, despite facing significant challenges at the start of the season, particularly due to injuries, has gained momentum. In the last 10 games, they have suffered only three losses. Before their visit to Petkim Spor, they lost to Crvena Zvezda in Belgrade.
It’s evident that Erdem Can possesses substantial coaching quality. There were many question marks when he took over from Ergin Ataman on the Anadolu Efes bench. However, based on what has been seen so far, the players trust him, and he has the necessary authority to lead prominent figures like Will Clyburn and Shane Larkin both on the court and in the locker room, without exceeding the appropriate bounds. Darius Thompson is still finding his form, but the indication of his good performances is that, in the last five games, he has scored less than 16 points only once. The question arises about how much Anadolu Efes can expect from their reserve players at the center position in the absence of Tibor Pleiss and Ante Zizic.
After the defeat to Crvena Zvezda in Belgrade, Anadolu Efes will visit Petkim Spor in Izmir as a significant favorite, and anything other than a convincing victory for them would be considered a surprise. With only one loss in the nine games played so far, against Galatasaray, it seems they are likely to maintain that record after this away game.
