H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Maccabi Tel-Aviv Team Overview
Maccabi Tel Aviv are currently navigating a turbulent stretch, securing three wins and suffering two losses in their last five outings. The team showcases impressive scoring capabilities, averaging 96.6 points over the past ten games, yet they concede a substantial 92.9 points. Their focus is clearly on offense, as evidenced by a recent streak of five consecutive EuroLeague games with totals exceeding 182.5 points.
However, as we previously speculated, defensive woes have proven costly for Kattash's squad. In their last match, they delivered a dismal performance against Paris (80-113), who dominated the court at will. Not only was the defense nonexistent, but their offense also collapsed. As a result, Maccabi have lost any chance of making it to the play-in, and the remaining two rounds will merely be a battle for pride.

Hapoel Tel-Aviv Team Overview
Hapoel Tel Aviv are in good form, securing seven wins in their last ten games with three losses during this stretch. Their offense remains consistent, averaging around 92.7 points over these ten matchups. However, similar to Maccabi, their defense has room for improvement, conceding 88.4 points on average. Despite this, Itoudis' squad have more aces up their sleeves, allowing them to hold the fifth position.
In the latest round, the Israeli club couldn't halt the triumphant run of the tournament leaders Olympiacos (85-89). Oturu and Blakeney once again led their team, combining for 31 points, but the collective class of the Greeks ultimately prevailed. Nevertheless, if Hapoel manage to defeat Maccabi, they will secure an early playoff berth.

We anticipate an open game and are betting on the total over 178.5.
