nov 09 2026Matchday 7 of the EuroCup marks the midpoint of the regular season with a tightly bunched standings. Napoli and Hapoel Jerusalem remain undefeated, and in several groups the cutoff for the top four will be decided among tied teams. The three Spanish representatives arrive in very different situations: La Laguna Tenerife leads its group, Manresa is on a roll, and Burgos continues to struggle.
The Spanish Teams
La Laguna Tenerife travels to Šiauliai on Wednesday to defend the Group B lead and seek their fifth straight victory. They do so in a complicated week, without Ethan Happ, Rokas Giedraitis, or Xabi López-Arostegui, and with Marcelinho Huertas about to leave for Dubai. Jaime Fernández, who scored 22 points against Cluj, will be one of their key players. Šiauliai, one of five teams tied at 3-3 in the group, lost last week to Reyer despite Michael Caffey's 15 assists.
Kids&Us Manresa, second in Group D, hosts Bosna on Tuesday with three straight EuroCup victories and the confidence of their first win in the Liga Endesa. Łukasz Kolenda has made 5 of 9 three-pointers in the last two games. Bosna (2-4) arrives after losing in Botevgrad with only five three-pointers.
Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos visits Le Mans on Wednesday with five straight losses and the need to react. They scored just 59 points against Rostock, and they'll face one of the competition's best defenses, which allows 77.8 points per game. The matchup between DJ Steward (17 points per game) and Carlos Stewart (10.7) is one of the keys.

Group A: Hapoel tested in Tortona
Hapoel Jerusalem (6-0) defends their perfect record on the road at Derthona Tortona (3-3), which has won all three of their home games. Kenny Lofton Jr., third in the competition in rating (22), is the big visiting threat, and Paul Eboua (7 rebounds per game) will have to stop him in the paint. Aris (5-1), which lost their undefeated record precisely to Hapoel, hosts Rigas Zelli (3-3). Both teams come off games with many turnovers, and the matchup pits the team that blocks the most shots in the EuroCup (Aris, 4.3 per game) against the team that blocks the fewest (Zelli, 1.2). In Rostock, the Seawolves (2-4), coming off 16 three-pointers at the Coliseum, host Cedevita Olimpija (1-5), which got on the board against Tortona with Rihards Lomažs (16 points and 8 rebounds).
Group B: Five teams tied behind Tenerife
Behind La Laguna Tenerife are five teams tied at 3-3, and three of them face off this week. London Lions host Reyer, who haven't won on the road this season and are looking for a hot shooting night from Leonardo Candi. Thursday closes the matchday with Skyliners Frankfurt-Maxima Roma: the Germans have one of the worst defenses (91.7 points allowed) and Maxima Roma arrive with Xavier Moon, who scored 25 against London. In the lower half, Cluj and Türk Telekom, both 2-4, are fighting to stay in contention. Cluj could debut point guard Leland Walker.
Group C: Napoli, on the road in Chemnitz
Napoli (6-0), leading the competition in points, assists, and three-point percentage, visits NINERS Chemnitz (4-2), who remain undefeated at home and have scored at least 93 points in all three of their home victories. Tofaş (5-1) seeks their third straight win in Trento (2-4), with a point guard duel between Bryce Jones (19.3 points) and Darius Brown (14 points and 6.8 assists). Bourg (2-4), the defending champion, hosts Budućnost (3-3) in a crucial matchup for fourth place. Neptūnas and Śląsk, both 1-5, break the tie for last place in Klaipėda.
Group D: Bahçeşehir faces a struggling Lietkabelis
Bahçeşehir College (5-1), Group D leaders, host Lietkabelis (3-3), who have lost two straight and scored just 68 and 66 points in those losses. PAOK (4-2), without Cedi Osman, visit Balkan Botevgrad (1-5), who just got on the board with a victory. Roma Basketball (2-4), with three straight losses and 113 points allowed against PAOK, host ratiopharm Ulm (3-3), one of the best three-point shooting teams (39.5%).
