Teams Preview

Ireland

Ireland will be heading for the final and important game in the 2027 EuroBasket qualifiers. The Irish women's team are coming off a 81-78 victory against Bosnia which kept them alive in the qualifying race. They will be the hosts for the final game against Israel, who have beaten them 93-86 in the first meeting. Ireland's both wins came against group's worst team, Bosnia and they are currently on a negative point-difference. The odds to finish in the top-two are pretty down for Ireland. They lost to Israel in overtime in the last meeting so they can still fancy their chances. 

Ireland were trailing by seven points after three quarters but they bounced back to outscore Bosnia 22-12 in the final period to take the game. With Luxemburg taking on Bosnia in another game, Ireland are on the verge of elimination. The Irish side shot 57% from the floor and 50% from the three-point line. It was the first time when they made 50% shooting. Ireland are averaging 77.4 points per game in the EuroBasket qualifiers. 

Hazel Finn was the top scorer for Ireland in the last game with 21 points and five rebounds. Edel Thornton went for 12 points and six rebounds, while Sarah Hickey added 11 points. Abigail Rafferty contributed eight points and 10 rebounds. Hazel Finn could be an offensive threat in this game. The 22-year-old has been a consistent player for Ireland, averaging 14.6 points in the qualifiers. We back her to be a top-scorer with 15 or more points in the home contest. 

Israel

Israel's impressive run in the FIBA EuroBasket qualifiers continues with an unbeaten performance. The Israel women's team have gone 5-0 in the ongoing qualifiers. They will play their final game against Ireland and their ticket to next round is confirmed as the group leaders. Israel head into the contest with a 76-52 victory against Luxemburg. They didn't allow the opposition to score more than 15 points in a single quarter. Israel would now eye a sixth consecutive victory in the event. 

Israel survived against Ireland in the previous meeting through overtime. Hickey’s two-pointer with two seconds left forced an overtime for Ireland but Israel outscored them 16-9. The visitors shot 61% from the floor and 36% from the three-point line in the previous game. Defensively, they had a season-high 20 steals and one block. They averaged 89.3 points in the qualifying and allowed 80.6 points. They are also leading the event in steals and blocks. 

Three players reached double figures for Israel with Alyssa Baron being the top scorer. She went for 14 points, while Dorian Dahan Sujic added 13 points and five rebounds. Daniel Raber chipped in with 12 points and 8 rebounds. She could also be an offensive threat in the upcoming fixture. She averaged 18.8 points in the EuroBasket qualifiers, including 26 points against Ireland. We back her to score more than 15 in the road fixture.
