Head-to-head statistics Hapoel Tel Aviv - Paris
Hapoel Tel-Aviv Team Overview
Hapoel Tel Aviv seem to have bounced back from their recent EuroLeague slump, turning three consecutive losses into two straight victories. The team averages 86.3 points per game while conceding 83.1. A key strength of this tournament newcomer is their balanced basketball and ability to control the game's tempo, allowing them to minimize mistakes and confidently close out matches. It's no surprise that Hapoel have not allowed more than 92.5 points in 15 of their last 17 EuroLeague games, highlighting their defensive prowess.
In the previous round, the Israeli side managed to defeat Barcelona on the road (80-75). The duo of Oturu and Bryant dominated the opposing half, combining for a total of 43 points. The return of the latter from injury has restored Hapoel's creative strength, reminiscent of the autumn phase of the tournament. The main challenge now for the club is to maintain their morale despite having to relocate their home games from Tel Aviv to Sofia due to the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.

Paris Basketball Team Overview
Paris are showing strong form with seven wins in their last ten games. This streak extends to the EuroLeague, where the French club have secured four victories in their last five outings. They average around 89.6 points per game while conceding approximately 91.58 points to opponents. The team's strengths lie in their immense offensive potential and their ability to find open shots, thanks to the highest pace of play in the tournament and a focus on three-point attempts.
Last week, the Parisians defeated their local rivals ASVEL at home (90-81), justifying their status as favorites. Despite trailing by nine points at halftime, they unleashed their signature high-octane pace after the break. The standout performer was the recently signed import Robinson, who scored 25 points.
