Barcelona vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Preview
Barcelona have their sights set on a top finish, but they can’t afford any missteps – victory in the upcoming match is a must.
Will Blaugrana cruise to a routine win, or will the visitors from Israel throw another wrench into a playoff hopeful’s ambitions?
Barcelona Form & Team News
At this moment, Barcelona hardly look like a team capable of going all the way and lifting the trophy. Their inconsistency and frequent lapses have led to disappointing results, leaving them in a modest 9th place in the EuroLeague standings with a 13-11 record.
In the last two rounds, they suffered back-to-back defeats in games where they were considered favorites. After falling to Asvel on the road, they were edged out by Baskonia last week, 88-86. Once again, their defense was well below par, and even a solid offensive performance couldn’t mask the glaring issues on their own end of the floor.
To make matters worse, ahead of their clash with Maccabi, Barcelona also suffered a painful home loss in the ACB League, conceding a staggering 103 points to Manresa.
Injuries have certainly played a role in their struggles, but even with the return of Jan Vesely and Justin Anderson, it’s uncertain how much of a difference they can make. As things stand, the outlook isn’t promising.
Maccabi Tel Aviv Form & Team News
From a competitive standpoint, Maccabi Tel Aviv’s EuroLeague season has long been over. The Israeli powerhouse currently has a better record than just one team in the entire league – a devastating reality for a six-time European champion.
For the remainder of the season, they’ll mostly be playing for pride. Two weeks ago, they stunned a strong Crvena Zvezda side with an 85-73 victory, only to suffer a meltdown in their next game, falling 93-87 to the league’s worst team, Alba Berlin.
To make matters worse, they’ll be without arguably their best player this season, Jaylen Howard, who is sidelined with a tendon injury. In his absence, more minutes will go to players who haven’t exactly impressed this season – far from an ideal situation.
Head to Head
The first head-to-head clash between Maccabi and Barcelona this season was marked by a dramatic comeback from the Spanish side, overturning a 16-point deficit to secure an 88-86 victory.
In the winning effort, Parker and Punter led the way with 18 points each.
Verdict
I expect their players to show character and bounce back from recent poor performances and results.
