The moment of truth in Maccabi Tel Aviv's European season comes tonight (Tuesday) when the Yellows host Monaco for the first game in the best-of-5 series in the Euroleague playoff quarterfinals.
The two teams met twice a season during the regular season and each won at home.
In the journey to the Final Four, which will be held this year in Kaunas, Lithuania, the Yellows will have to overcome the team from the principalities, with the second match between the two being held this Thursday (9:15 p.m.), and next Tuesday (9:05 p.m.) the series will move to Eliyahu, where Maccabi hopes to arrive at least with an away victory One and build on a tremendous home record this season - 2:15.
For Maccabi Tel Aviv, this is the second season in a row that it reaches the playoff stage, when last season it lost to Real Madrid in the same round.
This season the feeling is that Oded Ketch's team is able to surprise and go all the way.
