Match Background
From a schedule perspective, Olympiacos has already begun its EURO season. On September 30, 2026, the team played away against Zalgiris and won 93-91, with a halftime score of 44-44. Then on October 2, 2026, Olympiacos played away against Virtus Bologna and narrowly lost 94-96, with a halftime score of 50-49. The margins in these two EURO games were both very close, indicating that Olympiacos's form at the start of the season was not at a dominant level, but with one win and one loss on consecutive road games, its overall performance still showed some resilience.
Team Information
Olympiacos is one of the representative teams of Greek basketball and has long participated in the EURO League. From the source data, it can be seen that Olympiacos also participated in the Greek Super Cup in September 2026. On September 26, it defeated AEK Athens at home 101-96, with a halftime score of 50-36; on September 28, it defeated Thessaloniki at home 101-96, with a halftime score of 50-36. In both Greek Super Cup games, Olympiacos scored 101 points, showing a relatively strong offensive performance, but the opponents' strength differs from that of EURO teams, so league intensity must be distinguished when using this as a reference.
In EURO competition, Olympiacos defeated Zalgiris away 93-91 on September 30, 2026, and lost away to Virtus Bologna 94-96 on October 2, 2026. In these two games, Olympiacos scored 93 and 94 points respectively, showing relatively stable offensive output, but it also conceded 91 and 96 points respectively, and did not establish a clear suppressing effect on defense. The margins in both consecutive EURO games were within 3 points, indicating that the team still has room for improvement in handling key possessions.
Anadolu Efes is a traditional powerhouse in Turkish basketball and has also long competed in EURO. The source data does not contain many independent recent game records for the team, but some of its characteristics can be indirectly observed through the head-to-head history. In the January 23, 2026 meeting, Anadolu Efes scored 68 points at home and only 31 points in the first half, with its offense significantly limited in the first half. In the October 15, 2025 meeting, Anadolu Efes scored 82 points away and 48 points in the first half, showing a clearly better offensive performance. This indicates that the team's scoring fluctuates considerably, and its specific performance is related to venue and in-game form.
From a home-away perspective, Olympiacos has home-court advantage in this game. In the source data, Olympiacos's recent Greek Super Cup home games both produced 101 points, and its home offensive firepower is worth noting. However, the defensive intensity and physicality of EURO games are usually higher than those of domestic cup games, so the scoring from the Greek Super Cup cannot simply be directly applied to this EURO game.
Recent Records
Olympiacos's recently confirmable game records include: September 26, 2026, Greek Super Cup home win over AEK Athens 101-96; September 28, 2026, Greek Super Cup home win over Thessaloniki 101-96; September 30, 2026, EURO away win over Zalgiris 93-91; October 2, 2026, EURO away loss to Virtus Bologna 94-96. In these four games, Olympiacos went 3-1, averaging about 97.25 points scored and about 94.75 points allowed. It should be noted that two of them were Greek Super Cup games, and the opponents' strength differs from that of EURO teams, so direct comparison requires caution.
Looking only at the two EURO games, Olympiacos averaged 93.5 points scored and 93.5 points allowed, essentially balanced on both ends. The margins in the two games were 2 points and 2 points respectively, and the games were very tight. Such recent performances indicate that although Olympiacos can stay with opponents until the end, it has not shown the dominance to easily pull away.
Anadolu Efes's recent record is not fully presented in the source data, so its recent average points scored and allowed cannot be given. From the head-to-head history, Anadolu Efes has gone 1-1 in its last two meetings with Olympiacos: a 68-74 home loss on January 23, 2026, and an 82-78 away win on October 15, 2025. The margins in these two games were 6 points and 4 points respectively, both relatively close games.
Over a longer time span, the two sides have traded wins in EURO meetings. On February 1, 2025, Olympiacos beat Anadolu Efes at home 92-89; on October 19, 2024, Anadolu Efes beat Olympiacos at home 91-89; on March 20, 2024, Anadolu Efes beat Olympiacos at home 85-72; on October 27, 2023, Olympiacos beat Anadolu Efes at home 75-57; on February 4, 2023, Olympiacos beat Anadolu Efes at home 76-70; on December 2, 2022, Anadolu Efes beat Olympiacos at home 82-71; on May 19, 2022, Olympiacos lost at home to Anadolu Efes 74-77; on February 11, 2022, Olympiacos beat Anadolu Efes at home 87-85.
From these historical meetings, it can be seen that the margins between the two sides have mostly ranged from single digits to the low teens, including both an 18-point home blowout by Olympiacos and a 13-point home win by Anadolu Efes. Overall, the margins in matchups between the two teams are not stable, and home-court advantage has played a certain role.

Recent Form

Apart from that, the source data does not provide specific game records for Anadolu Efes around October 2026, so this article will not make inferences about the team's recent record beyond the data range.
