Alba shows that they do not want to end up in the last position. On the contrary, they will look for the best possible placement. They played with great passion in St. Petersburg and beat Zenit 83-81.

After winning the German Cup, psychology has gone even further. Hermanson scored 24 points in his last game, in which also star Payton Siva did not play.

The paradox for Alba is that they have won more games (5) on the road, than at home (4). Tim Schneider is still at the injury list. Besides, the Serbian guard Stefan Peno is out since the start of the season.

The same counts for American guard Peyron Siva who will be out for 10 days.

Efes seems to be unstoppable. They played without Larkin and Micic last week at Munich, but they thrashed Munich 88-63.

Ataman's team plays fantastic basketball, and the Turkish champions believe that they can make it till the end of the road.

They have achieved its 10th consecutive away win and 18th in the last 19 games of the competition, maintaining a 3-point difference from Real and Barcelona and is unlikely to lose first place in the standings.

Larkin will be out again, but Micic is back. The American center Bryan Dunston is back after three months.

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is Alba Berlin - Anadolou Efes 1-8.

In the first round, Anadolou Efes beat Alba Berlin 106-105.
