Hapoel Jerusalem Team News

Hapoel Jerusalem performed a small miracle in the semi-finals of the Israeli Cup. On the wings of their ardent fans, they defeated Hapoel Haifa, who led almost the whole game, at some points by 15 points, but Hapoel, on the wings of Hankins, managed to turn around and win. Now they are playing for the trophy, against their biggest rival from Tel Aviv.

The team from Jerusalem is playing well this season. In the Israeli championship, they are in fourth place with a record of 9-6 and have a game less than Holon and Maccabi from Tel Aviv. While in the FIBA Champions League, they are in first place in their group.

The team is led from the bench by the experienced Serbian coach Aleksandar Dzikic, who created great chemistry in the team, and again found under-the-radar players who are playing top basketball this season. The team’s leader is Zach Hankins, who averages 17 points. In addition to Hankins, there is also the experienced Khadeen Carrington, whom we had the opportunity to watch in ABA league teams as well as in the Euroleague. The composition includes occasional Israeli national team members Oz Blayzer, and Itav Segev, as well as the best Estonian basketball player for a long time, Siim-Sander Vene.

The Jerusalem team is designed to play fast and with many three-point shots. They play for the basket more, as we expect in this match.

Maccabi Tel Aviv Team News

“Pride of Israel” has big problems when playing away. More precisely, this season Maccabi is the best home team with a 9-2 record in Tel Aviv, while they are also the worst away team with a 3-10 record. This imbalance brings them the golden mean and the fight for the playoffs in the final total.

They dominate the domestic championship and just lost to Hapoel in the league. An ideal opportunity for Maccabi to get revenge for this defeat. But it won’t be easy for them. Maccabi Tel Aviv’s best player, Spanish national team member Lorenzo Brown, who signed a multi-million dollar contract until 2026 a few days ago, returned to the floor after an injury and missing a few games. It was Brown who led his team to the cup finals, as he created a turnaround in the semi-finals against Nes Ziona, who held on brilliantly in the first half. In the end, Maccabi won with a twelve-point difference and Lorenzo was the most effective with 19 points, Nebo added 16 while Colson scored 13 points.

Maccabi welcomes a hot atmosphere in Jerusalem, and it will be very difficult for them to get the first trophy of the season, which would mean a lot to them in the rest of the season.

Hapoel Jerusalem vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction

Even though Hapoel is the host and plays in front of a fiery home crowd, we still think that Maccabi will solve this in their favor, easier than expected. Simply, deep roster and quality are on the side of the Euroleague team from Tel Aviv.
