Alba – Anadolu Efes. Prediction and announcement regarding the Euroleague match
The meeting between Alba and Anadolu Efes will take place in Germany on Thursday, December 7. The match will start at 21.00 Kyiv time.
In the 13th round of the strongest club tournament of the Old World, held in Berlin, local Alba will host Turkish Anadolu Efes. Both teams are currently at the bottom of the standings, with the German club at the bottom of the peloton, so today’s rivals are in dire need of wins to improve their position.

One of Germany’s most prestigious basketball teams has not been able to show serious results in the Euroleague for a long time. Since returning to the elite competition in the 2019/2020 season, Alba has never reached the play-offs and has almost always lost a real chance in the postseason, well before the end of the regular season. However, Alba continues to maintain its place in the best cup in Europe, due to the fact that the capital’s German market is considered a very tasty morsel for the tournament directorate, and the Berlin team itself is a very interesting and original project.
It seems that Alba is unlikely to change his dismal statistics this season. After twelve matches played, they have only two wins. But the Germans have some bright spots. So, two days ago, the Berlin team managed to beat the strong Lithuanian Zalgiris in a rather tough and ineffective match.
Alba’s results in Euroleague 2023/2024:
5 October. “Bavaria” (Germany) – “Alba” (Germany) – 80:68

Anadolu Efes
The Turkish giants manage the current Euroleague inconsistently, alternating successes with failures, and are not even included in the play-in field at the moment. In fairness, it is worth noting that one of the reasons for such a performance was the injuries that fell on Ephesus as if out of abundance. There are currently six basketball players in the club hospital: Will Clyburn, Rodrigue Bobois, Elijah Bryant, Derrick Willis, Ante Zizic and Tibor Pleiss. This situation forced the Istanbul team to enter the transfer market and buy new players. American heavy forward Mike Daum from Italian Tortona and American big man Daniel Oturu, whom the Euroleague participant noticed in Türkiye Merkezefendi, were added to Efes’ roster. With the new additions to the squad, the two-time Euroleague champion managed to get a rather unexpected win against the Greek Panathinaikos two days ago.
The full list of results achieved by the Turkish club in the Euroleague is as follows:
5 October. “Barcelona” (Spain) – “Anadolu Efes” (Türkiye) – 91:74
12 October. “Anadolu Efes” (Turkey) – “Truth” (Spain) – 80:103
17 October. “Anadolu Efes” (Turkey) – “ASVEL” (France) – 89:84
20 October. “Anadolu Efes” (Turkey) – “Valencia” (Spain) – 77:73
26 October. “Olympiacos” (Greece) – “Anadolu Efes” (Türkiye) – 75:57
3 November. “Virtus Bologna” (Italy) – “Anadolu Efes” (Turkey) – 93:81
9 November. “Anadolu Efes” (Turkey) – “Zalgiris” (Lithuania) – 86:82
14 November. “Monaco” (France) – “Anadolu Efes” (Türkiye) – 82:89
16 November. “Milan” (Italy) – “Anadolu Efes” (Türkiye) – 92:76
24 November. “Anadolu Efes” (Turkey) – “Partizan” (Serbia) – 100:94
1st of December. “Crvena Zvezda” (Serbia) – “Anadolu Efes” (Turkey) – 97:83
5 December. “Anadolu Efes” (Turkey) – “Panathinaikos” (Greece) – 71:68
***
At first glance, the favorite of today’s match stands out as the Turkish club. However, the fact that Efes’ bench is now very short may greatly affect the Euroleague’s double week. In turn, the home factor will play in Alba’s favor and the emotional upswing cannot be ignored. Still, the German team can win more in three days than has been achieved in the entire current Euroleague so far. All that remains is to wait until the evening and find out which team’s trump cards will be more important.

Greek “Panathinaikos” The team faced serious personnel problems due to the flu epidemic.
Eight players and three members of the coaching staff were immediately diagnosed with influenza A with severe symptoms.
Panathinaikos has shown good form in recent matches, but flu A has spread to Greece and has affected the team, which will most likely lead to the postponement of the Greek championship match against Maroussi, scheduled for December 27.
The problem is not only related to the championship match, but also to the derby against Olympiacos in the Euroleague, which is scheduled for January 2, as the epidemic prevents the team’s normal preparations.
Since many players have severe symptoms, no one can say for sure how the disease will progress and when everyone will be healthy.
The names of the sick people have not been disclosed at this time.
