Promitheas will have a great chance to win because Hapoel is performing poorly in away matches. The meeting with the Israelis should be an easy walk for the Greeks. The team from Patras has been performing much better since Christopoulos’ appointment. We think that the hosts will be able to succeed.
In 3 of their last 5 home games, Promitheas has scored at least 80 points. It’s likely that after the change of coach, the Greeks will be able to perform even better. We think that the meeting with the Israelis will be a high-scoring one.
The Greeks have scored no more than 82 points in 3 of their last 5 home games.
Promitheas Patras has not been at its best in recent matches. Makis Giatras’ side lost several important games. In the Eurocup, for example, they had no success against Türk Telekom (83-98) and London Lions (67-77). Those latest setbacks forced the club’s management to sack Giatras.
Under the new coach, Promitheas started winning. The players picked up on Yannis Christopoulos’ philosophy. They managed to defeat Paris (74-71) and Apollon Patras (80-71).
Promitheas Patras has scored 82.5 points in its last 20 games on average.
Hapoel Tel Aviv is in sixth place in Group B. The Tel Aviv team has four wins. However, the lion’s share of the Israelis’ success came on home soil. Danny Franco’s men are not performing at their best on the road.
Hapoel’s only away win in the Eurocup came in October, when they defeated Paris (100-86). Since then, the Israelis have suffered three consecutive defeats away from home.
In Hapoel’s last 20 games, the average total was 167.2 points.
In Hapoel’s last three games, more than 39.5 points have been scored in the first quarter. We offer to bet on “1st Quater Points Over 39.5” with odds of 1.745.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Promitheas Patras: Nikos Gkikas – Trevis Simpson – Joe Young – George Conditt IV – Arnoldas Kulboka.
Hapoel Tel Aviv: J’Covan Brown – Xavier Munford – Chris Horton – Tomer Ginat – JP Tokoto.
The fixture will be played at Dimitris Tofalos Arena (4.200) in Patras, Greece.
This starting whistle will sound on the 20th of December, 2022, at 18:30 UK Time.
