Paris vs Asvel: Analysis and Prediction – Paris and Asvel will play an LNB Pro A League derby game, on Sunday.
Paris vs Asvel Odds
Paris Team News
After being in extraordinary form from mid-October to mid-November, Paris is now experiencing a slight dip. In their last six matches, they lost three and won three, with their latest game in the EuroCup resulting in an easy win over Wolves.
Despite numerous player changes, Paris’s gameplay seems cohesive, primarily due to the fact that the head coach and six players were brought in from Bonn. Like in Bonn, TJ Shorts remains a key player, showcasing his usefulness even at the EuroCup level, with expectations of soon playing in the EuroLeague. Nadir Hifi, a young guard, forms the other half of the lethal backcourt tandem that troubles opponents.
They host Asvel, who had a double round where they suffered two defeats, both at home. In addition to having more rest days, Paris also has an advantage because their key players are significantly younger than Asvel’s key players, who are likely to be exceptionally tired.
Asvel Team News
Team led by Gianmarco Pozzecco has experienced three losses and achieved two wins in their last five matches. The victories came in LNB Pro A League, while all three losses occurred in the EuroLeague. Latest defeat in this run was against Valencia.
Despite the initial boost brought by the arrival of the new coach, Asvel seemed to have potential to be a serious contender. However, as time passes, it becomes clear that Asvel lacks the necessary quality for EuroLeague competition. While Nando de Colo has left a profound mark in EuroLeague, it’s challenging for him, at the end of his career, to be the team’s best player for serious competition. Similar challenges are faced by Joffrey Lauvergne, who is somewhat younger but has experienced a decline in his career due to numerous injuries. Mike Scott’s performance fluctuates, sometimes appearing brilliant and other times less impressive.
Asvel is now visiting Paris, facing a team that plays excellently and dynamically. Asvel will likely encounter significant challenges in matching the host’s offensive prowess. Primary issue for Asvel throughout the season has been the inability to consistently generate a high number of points.
