Command Analysis

Paris Basketball

Current form
The French club remains in the top three of the Euroleague, but the results of the latest matches leave much to be desired. Thiago Splitter charges have lost three times in a row, losing to ASVEL (93:98), Real Madrid (85:96) and Baskonia (81:94). Such failures have noticeably undermined the team confidence, but Paris remains one of the strongest clubs in the tournament.
It is extremely important for the coaching staff to stabilize the game, especially on their home court. The French have a powerful attacking potential, which allows them to hope for a successful confrontation with Barcelona. In the upcoming match, Paris will try to take advantage of their opponent problems and return to the winning path.
