Maccabi Tel AvivDrawHapoel Tel Aviv
Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv square off in the League Cup on 9 November in what looks like a mismatch on paper. Hapoel have been the sharper outfit in recent weeks, while Maccabi are limping through a difficult run. The visitors should be favoured, but don't expect a blowout.
Team form
Maccabi Tel Aviv
Maccabi have won just two of their last five, beating Olimpia Milano and Valencia but losing to Crvena Zvezda, Real Madrid and Barcelona. They're averaging 90.4 points per game while conceding 94.0, which tells you everything about their defensive struggles lately. The loss to Crvena Zvezda (78-100) was particularly grim — they were outclassed in every department. Real Madrid's 113 points against them showed they can't keep pace with elite offences. The win over Valencia (91-88) offers a crumb of comfort, but inconsistency is the real story here.
Hapoel Tel Aviv
Hapoel are in a different stratosphere right now. Four wins in five, with only a loss to Valencia (82-93) blemishing their record. They've dismantled Anadolu Efes (118-88), beaten Virtus Bologna, Panathinaikos and Besiktas with ease. They're scoring 96.2 per game and allowing just 85.0 — that's a 11-point swing in their favour compared to Maccabi's defensive leakiness. The 118-point haul against Efes shows they can turn it on offensively when it matters.
Head-to-head
No prior meetings between these sides in the available record, so there's no historical pattern to lean on. This is a fresh matchup.
Key factors
Hapoel's offensive efficiency is the elephant in the room. They're outscoring opponents by a comfortable margin and moving the ball with purpose. Maccabi's defence has been porous — they're surrendering nearly 94 points per game, which Hapoel will punish. The visitors also have momentum; Maccabi are searching for answers. One caveat: League Cup basketball can be unpredictable, and Maccabi won't roll over at home. They have the talent to make this competitive, but they'll need to tighten up defensively and find some offensive rhythm they've lacked.
Prediction
Hapoel's recent form and defensive solidity make them the clear pick. They're scoring more, defending better and winning consistently. Maccabi's defensive leaks and inconsistent offence suggest they'll struggle to keep pace. The expected points favour Hapoel (93.96 to 88.84), and the gap reflects the quality difference on display. This isn't a certainty — Maccabi can still compete — but Hapoel should edge it.
Back Hapoel Tel Aviv to win. They're the in-form side with superior defence and offensive firepower. Expect a fairly close contest, but the visitors should prevail. The predicted scoreline of 88-93 reflects a tight game where Hapoel's edge proves decisive.
