The Maccabi Tel Aviv Euroleague season will continue tomorrow (Thursday, 21:05, live broadcast on Sport 5) when the Yellows will host Real Madrid at Yad Eliyahu.

The Israeli champions come into the game after the previous round victory over Basconia and a balance of 9 wins against 11 losses, while Real Madrid lost on Tuesday at home to the Red Star Belgrade in a rematch and won 13 games against 7 losses.

Meanwhile, the general manager of the Italian Brescia confirms that the team player TJ Klein is on his way to Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Sandro Santoro said: "For Klein it's a big thing. To get an offer from such a growing club, it's hard not to respond to a player."

Maccabi Tel Aviv: TJ Klein concluded in principle, may arrive as early as this week

At no point in the season has the team been able to produce a streak of more than two Euroleague victories.

Maccabi Tel Aviv

With 14 rounds left in the season, the Yellows know they need to start winning faster than they have done so far.

Yannis Sapropoulos' team has won five of its ten home games so far, and at no point in the season has it been able to produce a streak of more than two wins.

Despite this, the fact that does encourage the Yellows is that from the 12th round their balance is six wins against three losses, so compared to the start of the season, there is no doubt that the team has changed its trend.



Maccabi Tel Aviv should fear the fact that Scotty Wilbkin's dominance in the last eight rounds is in contrast to the team's success.

Wilbkin's average wins are 10.2 points (9 from 29 for 3) and 4 assists per game, and losses are 22.6 points (8 from 30 for 3) and 3 assists per game.

One whose success does align with group success is Dragon Bender.

In the last seven rounds, the Croatian has recorded 11.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in victories when he gets 21.5 minutes per game - and in losses 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game.

At its best.

Real Madrid

In the first round in Madrid, the Blancos defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv 63:79 and they stand on a streak of six consecutive victories and nine victories in the last ten meetings between the teams.

Real is the only team that Yannis Sapropoulos has not yet managed to win in the Euroleague as the coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv.



Real come into the game apparently with a particularly lacking squad - Rudy Fernandez who was injured in the loss to the Red Star joins Sergio Yui and Anthony Randolph in the injured squad of Pablo Lasso.

The one who will meet Maccabi for the first time since he left it two years ago is Alex Tios, who recently joined the team.

In his last game against Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2017, Tios scored 18 points and the Glatsray teams defeated the Yellows 63: 102.



Leading Real tomorrow are Walter Tavares, who is in excellent shape, recording 12.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game this season, Trey Tompkins with 10.8 points per game, Gabriel Dek who played a key role, Alberto Abelada and Nicholas Laprobitola, who remains the team's center-back.
