Maccabi Tel Aviv's Euroleague season will continue tonight (Thursday, 21:30, live on Sport 5) when the Yellows will be hosted by Audi Dom at Bayern Munich.
With only 10 wins from 23 games, Maccabi Tel Aviv know that if they want to enter the playoffs, they must not lose the upcoming game, which will give the opponent an advantage in a head-to-head battle with them and keep them away from them at a distance that will be impossible to return from.
Maccabi landed in Munich last night when, except for Yuval Sussman, who was injured in the league this week and will be absent for a month and a half, all the team's players went to the game.
Three players are in question ahead of the match - with Scotty Wilbkin and Othello Hunter estimated that the two will play, while Omri Caspi, even if he dresses for the match, should not play.

The team will hold their only training session this morning in the Audi Dom, but in which Maccabi has won twice from three games, but never in an easy way, when in addition to the training session, there will be another video briefing.
The team will want to control the pace, and bring the game to a style that suits it better.
"We are nearing the end of the Euroleague season and if we want to make a run it must start now," said Angelo Cloiaro. "It's a very big game for us. We were not amazing in the Euroleague this year, but we are still in the picture and can still make a comeback. Our goal is to qualify "We have 11 games and we will fight like demons to do it. We want to do a run. The fact that there were 300 fans here in the last game felt like a full hall, it was crazy and fun. When more fans come back, anything will be possible."
Still optimistic.

Dragon Bender added: "Everyone knows what the goal is in the next month and a half and that's going up to the playoffs. To do that we have to look at each game individually. As long as we keep focusing on the next game it will help us in the long run. They beat us in the first round. "Really good with very good players, it will be a challenge for us. We have to play very good defense against them and hurt them with the things they do well this year. We have to show the character and chemistry we have shown in the last games in the Israeli league."
After the game, Maccabi will take off back to Israel and land at Ramon Airport near Eilat on Friday morning.
Maccabi will spend the weekend in the southern city, including the concluding training ahead of the upcoming league game against Hapoel Eilat, which will be held on Saturday at 18:20.
