Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Besiktas Prediction & Betting Tips – EuroLeague, 30 September 2026

Maccabi Tel Aviv cannot afford another bad night. One loss in France against Asvel already put pressure on a roster which some see as a dark horse for the playoffs. Besiktas arrive in Belgrade with a fresh EuroLeague badge and nothing to lose.

🏀 Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Besiktas Prediction: Jaylen Hoard over 12.5 points @1.9

Maccabi kept Jaylen Hoard, Roman Sorkin and Oshae Brissett. They also added Keaton Wallace, Yam Madar, Daniel Theis and Armando Bacot.

The season opened badly. Asvel won 84 to 74 in Villeurbanne and hit 16 threes. Hoard scored 15 points, while Sorkin and Madar added 13 each.

Bonzie Colson and Wallace struggled, and coach Oded Kattash needs more from both. T.J. Leaf is back, but Shane Hunter is still out.

Besiktas waited more than 13 years to return. They lost 96 to 94 to Valencia at home, and Jaylen Nowell missed the final shot. Nowell and Eugene Omoruyi scored 17 each, and Conor Morgan hit 5 of 6 from three.

The roster is new, and coach Dusan Alimpijevic needs time. The tough defense his teams are known for has not appeared yet. Anadolu Efes scored 95 against them in the Turkish league, and center Ante Zizic struggled to make an impact in the paint against Valencia.

DaQuan Jeffries and Mady Sissoko are out. Furkan Korkmaz is questionable. These clubs met only twice, 13 years ago, and Maccabi won both.

Tipoff is Wednesday, 30 September 2026, at 20:05 CET. Maccabi play in Belgrade for the third season in a row, so the court feels familiar. Compare odds at the geriausios bukmekerių svetainės before you place any bet.

Hoard is the main man for Maccabi. He played 29 minutes against Asvel and shot 7 of 11 from the field. He hit only 1 of 4 from three, so his numbers could rise with a few more makes.

Colson and Wallace had bad nights, so Maccabi need Hoard to carry more of the scoring. He will get the most minutes and plenty of shots. Besiktas are missing Jeffries and Sissoko, which gives him more room to attack. Zizic plays center for Besiktas, and players like Hoard can attack him easily.

There is a second angle worth a look: Maccabi team total over 89.5 @1.83. Besiktas allowed 96 to Valencia at home and 95 to Efes. Maccabi have long ranked among the best offenses in the league, and they like a fast pace.
