The first title of the season in Israeli basketball is handed out tonight (Sunday), when Maccabi Tel Aviv meets Drive In Hapoel Eilat in the Winner's Cup final.
Will the Yellows win the trophy for the ninth time in history, or will the Southerners win for the first time in their history?
Maccabi Tel Aviv will open its way in the Euroleague on Thursday in a home game against Bayern Munich, and it wants to get there with a trophy in hand.
The Yellows' preparations for the new season have not been smooth, given the fact that five of the team's players have been found to be positive for the Corona virus in recent weeks.
However, even the poor preparation did not prevent the doubles player from reaching the final after victories over Maccabi Rishon Lezion in the quarterfinals and Hapoel Jerusalem in the semifinals.

Yannis Sapropoulos' team did not sign Derek Williams, Cameron Taylor and Ante Žižić, who tore the back thigh muscle and will be out for about six weeks.
In the absence of the Croatian, the Greek coach hopes that Jaylen Reynolds will restore the ability from the semi-final against Hapoel Jerusalem, so he led the scoring list with 22 points.
Hapoel Eilat also experienced the opening of a season full of events, which included the release of foreigners and the expulsion from Europe.
Ariel Beit Halachmi's team parted ways with Will Cherry and Jacob Evans, after the two broke isolation.
Without them, the Southerners looked good in the Winner's Cup and defeated Hapoel Haifa and Hapoel Holon on the way to the final, much thanks to the great ability of Brion Allen.
In the European framework, Hapoel Eilat was relegated to the European Cup after a loss to Parma in the qualifiers for the FIBA Champions League.
