⭐ Editorial Prediction
Despite their narrow win in the first leg, bookmakers still back the Istanbul side to secure a more convincing victory this time around. However, Anadolu Efes’s recent form suggests otherwise-they consistently keep games close. In seven consecutive outings, Anadolu Efes have either won or lost by no more than two points. The same trend holds true for their last five road games. To give the visitors some cushion in case of a defeat, we’re backing Anadolu Efes with a +7.5 point spread.
