Barcelona vs Anadolu Efes Live Stream & Tips – Turkish Side Underestimated in the EuroLeague
Barcelona's recent Spanish Super Cup performance highlighted worrying defensive issues and an inexperienced roster compared to last season. This opens the door for Efes, who are currently in good form, to put up a strong fight in the EuroLeague's opening week. The key takeaway is that Barcelona may not be as dominant as before, and Efes has a real opportunity to make an impact. Expectations are high for a competitive matchup with Efes pushing for an upset.

Match Preview
Anadolu Efes had an extremely disappointing run last season and now, with new additions, they are aiming for a Top 8 placement. Barcelona's roster is also significantly different, so we are most likely in for an interesting contest.

Barcelona Still Finding Their Feet Under New Coach
Barcelona started the new season with a dramatic 87-86 victory against Valencia in the Spanish Super Cup semifinals, where they held their opponents to just 37% shooting. New signing Justin Robinson was the top scorer here with 17 points.
Blaugrana were tagged as slight favorites in the grand final against Joventut but lost this encounter 101-87 after allowing too many open three-pointers, with Joventut going 17/33 from beyond the arc. Joel Parra missed just two shots in the entire match and scored 24 points.
They entered the new season under a new coach, Slovenian expert Aleksandar Sekulic. Two veterans, Tomas Satoransky and Jan Veseli, are no longer members of the roster, as is Tornike Shengelia.
Anadolu Efes Carrying Momentum From Russia
Even though they were not among the top favorites, Anadolu Efes started the new season by winning the traditional VTB Cup in Russia.
Pablo Laso's side claimed three consecutive victories against top Russian teams, Zenit St Petersburg 100-76, Unics Kazan 91-79 and Lokomotiv Kuban 88-82.
The biggest summer signing and former EuroLeague MVP Mike James carried the team in the finals, scoring 27 points, while Dario Saric added 15 points to his name. This duo is expected to be the foundation for potential success this season.

Verdict
Barcelona failed to impress in the recently finished Spanish Super Cup, especially in terms of their defensive discipline, plus they have a much less experienced roster than last year. I expect Efes to carry over their good form into the EuroLeague opening week and put up a fight.
Anadolu Efes +5.5
