Le Portel in Paris’ Sights

This Saturday, Paris Basketball will host ESSM Le Portel for Round 29 of the Betclic ELITE season. It’s a chance for our Parisians to confirm their current strong form and grab an important win in the race for first place.

3 more to go ! This Saturday at 8:30 p.m., Paris Basketball has the opportunity to take the top spot from ASVEL and Monaco with a win over Le Portel. It’s a matchup that seems within reach for our team, as ESSM has been struggling this season. However, Eric Girard’s men are playing for their lives. Currently second-to-last in the league with a record of 7 wins and 21 losses, Le Portel is still fighting to avoid relegation but has only managed 2 wins in their last 10 games. Another misstep against Paris, and relegation would be inevitable for ESSM.

On our end, confidence is high. Tiago Splitter’s squad is on an 8-game winning streak in domestic competitions and is neck and neck with ASVEL and Monaco at the top of the table. This match will also be a special one for Nadir Hifi, recently named a finalist for the “Most Improved Player of the Year” award, as he reunites with the club that launched his professional career during the 2020/2021 season !

So if you too want to experience Paris Basketball at 100% in a buzzing adidas arena, don’t wait—grab your tickets now !
