Anadolu Efes SK - Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz

The poor form of Lyon and the still declining Maccabi, I believe, have the winning advantage. The coefficient is quite good and the difference in capabilities is significant. The French team has been struggling even in their local championship, while Maccabi is in a good run and very productive, which is lacking in Lyon.

9 consecutive matches and almost 5 years of Maccabi winning against Asvel. Maccabi clearly dominates with their style, fast-paced game, and athletic players. Asvel is already only focused on their local championship at this stage of the tournament, so we can expect major rotations and reduced minutes for their key players. However, even in the playoffs, a spot is not guaranteed, and there is a high chance of falling into the play-in. Maccabi may try to create a miracle and win everything, but the club itself is not in a position to save resources.
