The draw for the home stage of the Champions League was held today (Thursday) and one clear conclusion already exists -
Hapoel Holon
received the most comfortable home when it is a candidate to get out of it at least for the play-offs.
Her big fight for the debut is against Glatsray she faced last season in which she eventually reached the Final Four.
Ostend (who did not miss a performance at the factory) and Legia Warsaw are considered teams that can definitely be passed.
Gal makes a significant upgrade with the clear goal being to return to the top of European basketball.
Last season, it almost ousted Anadolu Zero in the Turkish playoff semifinals when Angelo Cloiaro, a Maccabi Tel Aviv player in recent years, is a candidate to join it.
She already started the big upgrade last season when she appointed Greek coach Andreas Pistiolis as coach, who came from the position of assistant coach at CSKA Moscow and is considered one of the rising forces in the field of training. Haiba Floyd who played with him in Israel.

For
Hapoel Jerusalem,
it is still difficult to predict the strength of the house, with the open question being who will advance to it from the qualifiers.
If it is the Spanish Rio Braugan it will be bad news for Jerusalem and will make the house close and egalitarian.
Braugan in her factory debut was promoted to the first division last season and had a good year with season player Dzanan Musa.
The big star is leaving for Real Madrid, but any Spanish rival is tough.
Ludwisburg, who defeated Hapoel Holon in the match for third place in the Final Four, will continue to play a major role in the factory, despite the big change on the lines when coach John Patrick leaves for the Japanese league after 10 years and is replaced by Josh King.
Drushpaka, a former Euroleague team and Eurocup winner with David Blatt on the lines, reached the playoff semifinals in Turkey last season and Arnak Selchuk continues on the lines for a fifth season.
Foreigners Gabriel Olsani and Wayne McCullough continue as Troy Copyin ex Holon and one of the key players last season in question.

Bnei Herzliya
, the trophy holder, received the most difficult and also the most attractive home.
She will have a not-so-simple challenge to qualify from the house where she was put in for her factory debut.
It will face Tenerife, the best team in the factory over the years that has won the title twice (including last season) and has the largest number of wins in the Champions League, starting its seventh season.
Tenerife defeated Holon last season in the semi-finals of the Final Four and the two anchors Marcellino Huartas and Georgi Sharmadini continue.
Rita Vilnius - formerly the Euroleague team and EuroCup champion - won the Lithuanian championship this season by beating Zalgiris Kaunas after 11 consecutive wins.
She recorded a significant signing in the chin position - Martinas Achudas and last season played in the media ex Maccabi Haifa Speedy Smith.
Priestry will bring Herzliya the big attraction when former star Vasilis Spanoulis takes up the position of coach for the first time in his career.
The arrival of the legend to the Greek team has already brought to it a number of significant players such as: Marcus Danmon, Brandon Brown and Miro Bilan.
