Paris Basketball vs Maccabi Tel-Aviv Prediction & Picks - EuroLeague

Prediction published on 10/3/25, 11:36 AM  by Tyler Doty in Basketball Picks

The duel between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Paris Basket will be played on neutral ground! On the second day of the Euroleague, PB will try to erase the ugly defeat suffered in Turkey against Fenerbahçe with a score of 96-77. It was a difficult start to the competition, especially considering that the Parisians had just put in an outstanding performance against Gravelines-Dunkerque in Betclic Elite. With a completely different roster from last year, the capital club will have to find new ways of working together to perform well over the long term. Behind Nadir Hifi, Cavaliere, Mbaye and Hommes will have to raise their game. This was particularly evident in the number of assists: 11 in 40 minutes. Francesco Tabellini knows where his team needs to improve. It's up to him to do a good job of getting the team back on track.

Maccabi's start to the season has also been disappointing. While the Israelis wanted to get back on track after a defeat against Hapoel Jerusalem in the League Cup, the first week of the European Cup got off to the worst possible start... An 85-78 defeat in Turkey by 7 points. An offensive slump in the third and fourth quarters proved too much for the yellow and blue. Also, a 7/27 shooting performance from behind the 3-point line did not help matters on what was supposed to be a great European night. Facing last year's promoted team, a reaction is expected at the end of the final quarter.
