In the match of the 12th round of the Euroleague regular season, Maccabi will host Spanish Valencia on its site in Tel Aviv.
MaccabiOded Kattash's team is in pretty bad shape and has already lost two consecutive matches in the Euroleague.
In their last meeting on the international arena, which was on the second of December, Maccabi Munich imposed a pretty good fight on Bayern, but still the Israeli club lost with a score 89:98 (24:26; 20:24; 23:23; 22:25). At the same time, in this meeting with Maccabi, the Spanish defender Lorenzo Brown played a wonderful match, he scored 36 points, made three rebounds and completed seven assists. It is also worth noting the American defender Jalen Adams, he scored 21 points, made five points and completed one assist.
On November fifth, Maccabi has already held a match of the eighth round of the Israeli championship. The team of Oded Kattash defeated the modest "Hapoel" from Beersheba on the road, the meeting ended with a score 91:58 (19:12; 17:15; 23:19; 32:12). In this meeting, Israeli point guard Iftah Ziv played quite well in Maccabi, he scored 19 points, made three rebounds and completed three assists.
"Valencia"Alex Mumbru's team, in turn, achieved an extremely important victory in their last match in the Euroleague regular season.
On the first of December, Valencia played a tough match in Belgrade, but in overtime, the bats were still able to beat Partizan with a score 100:96 (21:21; 16:22; 23:21; 24:20; 16:12). In this meeting, three basketball players played well in the Valencia squad at once. The meeting was especially successful for Cuban Hasiel Rivero, he scored 22 points and made six rebounds. American forward James Webb scored 18 points and made eight rebounds. And Spanish forward Xabi Lopez-Arostegui scored 17 points, made four rebounds and completed four assists.
But on the fourth of December, in the tenth round of the Spanish championship, Valencia was waiting for another extremely difficult match. Alex Mumbru's team went to Madrid for a match with Real Madrid, Valencia immediately showed that it was not particularly ready to fight such a serious opponent and eventually lost with the score 62:79 (7:19; 20:13; 16:26; 19:21).
ForecastIn this match, Maccabi is, of course, considered by the bookmakers to be a fairly clear favorite on its own site.
The Israeli team really needs a victory in this meeting, but still it may not be the brightest meeting here, we suggest you put less than 167.5 points on the total.
