The Israeli national team recorded a painful loss in Finland on Thursday and stayed away from the MondoBasket, and when it has three wins and four losses on its balance sheet, two wins away from the third place Slovenia which lost earlier today in Germany, it cannot afford to stumble even in the home game at the Drive Inn against Sweden.

Israel's loss to Sweden will likely turn the next two windows in November this year and February 2023 into windows for protocol only, and therefore Guy Goodes and his team did not only demand from the players a significant improvement in ability compared to the display on Thursday in Tampere, but also to pick themselves up and arrive with full confidence and belief that they could win.

As I recall, Danny Avdia scored only 8 points in Finland.

Gal Mekel, who missed the last game, returned to Godes' squad and he dressed at the expense of John DiBartholomew., with Noam Doverat also out of the squad.

The Swedish team, which, unlike Israel, will not participate in the EuroBasket that will start this weekend, marked a big V by advancing to the second group stage in the qualifiers.

The Swedes were defeated on Thursday at home against Germany and among the main players of the Swedes is Simon Birgender from Hovantod in Dalona who should make life difficult for our team under the baskets.

He is also expected to improve.
