BEL vs ANA Dream11: Crvena Zvezda are at home in round-22 as they play host to league leaders Anadolu Efes in EuroLeague at Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, on Friday night (IST). Zvezda slipped down to 10th after the fixture on Thursday but can move back to the top8 with a win over leaders in this game. But it’s easier said than done as they are out of form at the moment, and arrive in this game on the back of three straight defeats. Anadolu Efes, on the other hand, have set the whole league on fire this season, and have surprised one and all with their utter consistency. So far, they have won an impressive 18 times in the first 21 rounds. They also boast the second-best defensive record in the EuroLeague this season.
Head-to-head:
This will be the 8th meeting between these two teams in EuroLeague since 2000. Anadolu Efes lead the overall head-to-head record with five wins, but Crvena Zvezda did the double over Efes last season.
