Hapoel Tel Aviv tonight (Wednesday, Sport1) continues its European journey in the Eurocup in a match that was moved to Arena Stosica in Ljubljana due to the security situation, against Besiktas of Turkey.
The Reds will be able to secure promotion to the quarter-final stage, when a victory over the Turks will earn them second place in the Group A table, where they will wait for the winner of the play-in stage between third place in Group B and sixth place in Group A.
In the previous round in the European factory, Hapoel defeated Badalona 85:91, and now after 4 consecutive victories in all frames, Danny Franco's team wants to close a story already in the next round.
Brian Angola, who did not play in the last two league games, is fit and available to the Reds tonight in a game with about 200 of the team's fans in the stands.
We want the second place.
