Paris host Boulazac at Paris Arena on October 18, 2026 (14:30 UTC) in an LNB regular-season fixture. It brings together sixth-placed Paris and eleventh-placed Boulazac. Five places separate them, so the game carries real weight for the middle of the table.

The most telling factor is the contrast in recent league form. In their last two LNB games, Paris won 78-73 at Nancy on September 27 and 103-101 at Le Mans on October 4. Both were away wins, the second by only two points. Boulazac's three listed LNB results are mixed: a 81-79 home loss to Roanne on September 26, a 87-75 defeat at Strasbourg on October 3, and an 84-73 home win over JL Bourg on October 10. That last result is the only league win in this stretch. Paris also have a heavier schedule, with three Euroleague games listed between September 29 and October 7, so that workload is relevant context. Boulazac's French Cup trip to Challans on October 6, a 107-96 loss, adds to their schedule load, but it says nothing about how this league match will unfold.

Head-to-head history gives Boulazac a slight psychological edge. They won two of the three listed meetings, including a 103-87 victory in Paris on February 1, 2026. Paris won the other, 94-73 on November 2, 2025. All three games produced a clear margin, and none was close.

Neither side has any reported injuries. Christophe Pelissier and Amir Ghalenoei should therefore have their full squads to choose from. That makes depth and rotation important, especially for Paris after their congested spell.

Paris arrive with the better league position and recent away wins. Boulazac come off their most convincing league performance of the period, a 11-point home win.
