Peristeri vs Falco Szombathely: Analysis and Prediction – Peristeri will host Falco Szombathely in the FIBA Champions League second round.
Peristeri vs Falco Szombathely Odds
Peristeri Team News
Peristeri had a decent season last year, finishing as the third-best team in Greece. However, they’ve had a catastrophic start to this campaign. In the domestic league, they’ve lost all three games played so far and suffered a heavy defeat to Le Mans (96:68) in the FIBA Champions League last week.
Peristeri’s biggest problem on offense is their poor three-point shooting percentages. Except for Jaylen Hands and Kenny Williams, no one seems capable of making shots from beyond the arc or contributing consistently on offense. Joe Ragland primarily focuses on assists, and more was expected from Trevor Thompson. Vassilis Spanoulis will need to improve things quickly because if he doesn’t, certain changes may be necessary.
Falco Szombathely is a suitable opponent for Peristeri to break out of their crisis. The Hungarian champions showed in their clash with Unicaja that they can be tricky, but the quality and experience are on Peristeri’s side. Defensively, they can limit the opponent to under 70 points, and it’s probably time to start making some shots from beyond the 6.75m line.
Falco Szombathely Team News
The loss to Unicaja (78:87) at the start of the FIBA Champions League is no surprise for Falco Szombathely. A much bigger shock and problem are that they were defeated by Szedeak a few days later by 80:79 in the Hungarian League.
Falco Szombathely has been dominating Hungarian basketball for years. In terms of individual quality, they are miles ahead of all other teams in their country, and they aspire to prove themselves on the intercontinental scene. To qualify for the play-in phase, they need to finish ahead of Peristeri or Le Mans, so this is a chance to prove themselves. Zoltan Perl has been in excellent form in the past month, and Stefan Pot is contributing significantly. There are also several experienced Hungarian players like Akos Keller and Szilard Benke to watch.
In previous seasons, Falco Szombathely cause few surprises in this competition. They understand that Peristeri is not playing well at the moment, and they surely go to Greece with the hope of achieving win. Unlike their opponents, they have the potential to make outside shots, and if they can hit from long range, anything can happen.

Peristeri vs Falco Szombathely Prediction
Peristeri will seek their chance in this game through strong defense. If they engage in any kind of shooting contest with Falco Szombathely, they will likely come out as the losers. Spanoulis team plays at a slower pace, and it will be difficult for the opponent to impose a significantly different tempo. Unless this game goes into overtime, it’s not realistic to expect a high number of points to exceed the offered margin.
