Conversano and Maccabi Lezion played out a 34-34 draw in the European Cup on Tuesday evening. The result leaves both sides with a point from their latest encounter in the competition. It was an evenly matched contest from start to finish, with neither team able to pull clear.
Conversano arrives in decent form, having won three of their last five matches. Their most recent outing saw them fall 25-32 to SS Bolzano, but before that they had claimed victories against Cologne and Bolzano in April. The hosts will have been looking to build momentum after that loss.
Maccabi Lezion have been involved in some high-scoring affairs recently. Their last five games have produced an average of 35 points per side, with four wins and a draw. They have been playing a local rivalry fixture against Hapoel Lezion on multiple occasions this season.
The match itself delivered on that expectation of entertainment. Both teams found the net regularly, with the score level at 34-34 by the final whistle. Nothing separated the sides, and the draw reflects the balance of the contest.
What matters now is what the result means for both clubs. Conversano can point to consistency in their attacking output, while Maccabi Lezion continue to be involved in games with plenty of scoring.
