BC Zalgiris Kaunas vs Anadolu Efes SK Prediction & Betting Tips - EuroLeague

Zalgiris will seek a return to winning ways in the EuroLeague when they host Anadolu Efes. The two teams have compiled the same records but are separated by points difference on the standings. Below is our prediction for this match.

Zalgiris are seeking to end a two-match losing run in the EuroLeague. Andrea Trinchieri’s men lost at home to Baskonia and away to Partizan last time out. They've dropped to ninth in the standings with a 7-6 record.

The Lithuanian heavyweights have managed just one win in their last seven outings in Europe. Zalgiris possess the best defensive rating as they are holding teams to 75.1 points. On the opposite end of the court, however, they are struggling and are ranked bottom.

Anadolu Efes got back to winning ways last time out in the EuroLeague and will be keen to maintain this. Tomislav Mijatovic’s men ended a two-game losing run with a 101-90 home win over Bayern.

The win held them from tumbling further in the standings and now sit seventh. Efes are surprisingly faring much better on the road than at home. They've won five of seven road fixtures and only twice have they won at home.

Efes, who are averaging 85 points a night, have won six of the last seven meetings with Zalgiris. Shane Larkin and Dogus Ozdemiroglu are likely to miss this trip through injury.
