TEL AVIV (Interstat) — Real Madrid will visit Hapoel Tel Aviv on Thursday in a Euroleague matchup at Hadar Yosef, with both teams looking to build momentum early in the season.

Real Madrid enters with a 2-2 record. Hapoel Tel Aviv is 1-1. A player to watch for the home side is guard Elijah Bryant, who has been its most productive player. In his most recent outing, Bryant played 36 minutes and finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. That performance helped Hapoel Tel Aviv edge Crvena Zvezda 81-80. Vasilije Micic added 11 points, six rebounds and three assists, while Zach Leday had 12 points and four rebounds in that win.

Hapoel Tel Aviv’s other result this season was an 86-84 home loss to Bayern. The team will look to use its home floor at Hadar Yosef to counter a Real Madrid squad that has shown scoring balance but inconsistent results.

Andres Feliz added 10 points, three rebounds, five assists and one block in 18 minutes, while E. Tavares finished with eight points, seven rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes.

Real Madrid’s season has included an 89-87 home win over Unicaja, a 78-77 loss at Dubai and a 98-95 overtime win at Dubai. The Spanish club will try to find consistency on the road against a Hapoel Tel Aviv team coming off a narrow win.
