Hapoel Tel Aviv Seeks First EuroLeague Win Against Red Star Belgrade

Hapoel Tel Aviv is set to face Red Star Belgrade in Serbia on Tuesday, aiming for their first victory in the EuroLeague season. Both teams are coming off losses in their opening games; Red Star fell to Zalgiris Kaunas at home, while Hapoel Tel Aviv disappointed its fans with a loss to Bayern Munich. Hapoel Tel Aviv, having recently secured an easy win in the Winner Cup with a secondary squad, understands the need for a significantly improved performance in this challenging away game.

Key players Jacob Toppin (injured) and Amir Coffey (not yet match-fit) will not be available for Hapoel Tel Aviv. However, Kadin Carrington, who missed the previous game against Bayern, is included in the roster for this match.

The Serbian team has made numerous changes during the summer, including a coaching change with the appointment of Ioannis Sfairopoulos and the departure of star player Facundo Campazzo. Notable additions to Red Star include Chris Jones and Jaron Blossomgame, both familiar to Hapoel Tel Aviv fans. Jones, in particular, will be looking to bounce back from a poor debut in the competition's first round. Chima Moneke, who was a doubt, has been cleared to play.
