The EuroLeague opens Round 7 with the tightest pairing of the programme: two teams on 4-2, sixth against seventh. The market sees a game already decided: 1.30 for Hapoel Tel Aviv with 1xbet on Tuesday, eight and a half points to give away for Virtus Bologna. The Italians arrive on four straight wins at 93 points a game. That is where I look for my bet.<\/p>\n

Two teams on 4-2, only one favourite<\/h2>\n

Their paths look alike. Hapoel have beaten Real Madrid, then Panathinaikos in Athens. Virtus have put Olympiacos, Bayern, Paris and Baskonia in a row after opening the season with two defeats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Both teams win at home and on the road: Hapoel stand at 2-1 home and 2-1 away, Virtus at 2-0 and 2-2. The real gap is momentum: four wins in a row for the Italians, two for the Israelis. On the Virtus side, Mumbru sees Hapoel as \u201ca team built to go to the Final Four\u201d and travels to Sofia \u201cto try to win\u201d, he tells Il Resto del Carlino<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A favourite with no arena of its own<\/h2>\n

For security reasons, Hapoel do not play in Israel: their \u201chome\u201d games are staged at the Arena 8888 in Sofia, where the club ticket office<\/a> lists the season’s fixtures. The team holds its rank there, two wins in three. I cannot read eight points of home advantage into it: Virtus travel to a third country, not to Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

Micic against Carr, and benches that score<\/h2>\n

The game starts with the ball: Vasilije Micic carries it for Hapoel, Marcus Carr runs it for Virtus. The stat sheets<\/a> tell the same story on both sides.<\/p>\n
