Besiktas vs Paris: Analysis and Prediction – Besiktas will host Paris in Turkey, in the EuroCup Round 17.
Besiktas vs Paris Odds
Besiktas Team News
In the previous game in Turkish Super League, Besiktas defeated Bursaspor by 88:59, with 19 points from Derek Needham and 14 points from Angelo Delgado. Now this team expects a duel in the EuroCup, in which they are in fifth place with a score of 9-7.
This season, Besiktas made an extremely quality team in the EuroCup. Dusan Alimpijevic took over the team and brought Derek Needham from Bursaspor. Besiktas plays precisely on the wings of this “tandem”, since the Serbian coach relies heavily on the experience of one of his best players. Jonah Matthews is also an excellent reinforcement, who raised this team to a higher level in terms of offense, while Angel Delgado is the big threat in the paint. Dusan Alimpijevic has created a competitive team on all fronts, as evidenced by the fact that Besiktas is the only team that has beaten Paris in 16 games.
The French team will be the next rival of the blacks and whites. In their first mutual duel, Dusan Alimpijevic’s team slowed down the pace and played the game with fewer points. On positional play, Paris could not manage, which was fatal for them.
Paris Team News
In the previous game, Paris lost to Strasbourg in the LNB Pro A League by 89:86, with 19 points from Collin Malcolm and 17 points from Nadir Hifi. Now they are expected to meet in the EuroCup, in which they dominate with a score of 15-1.
One of the most talented European coaches, Tuomas Iisalo, has strengthened Paris this season and brought with him several players from the previous season in Bonn. His right-hand, T. J. Shorts, immediately proved to be one of the leaders of the French team and is one of the best players of the EuroCup. The real breakthrough was made by guard Nadir Hifi and, along with T. J. Shorts and Tuomas Iisalo, he is the most responsible for the results of this team, which relies on extremely fast basketball, with a lot of transition, a lot of possessions and a lot of points. On the other hand, this team is very good defensively, so it is clear why it is in the first position in the group.
The defeat against Besiktas, the only one in the competition, will serve as a lesson for the next duel, in which they will have to adapt to positional play and a slightly slower rhythm, which will be imposed by a physically extremely strong Turkish team. That’s the only way they can hope to win.
