Maccabi Tel Aviv is now hosting Barcelona in the 33rd round of the Euroleague after 17 consecutive games without a loss, six of which are in Europe, as it hopes not only to continue the positive momentum, but also to prevent the last round from becoming one that is played for the record.
In order to leave themselves a chance to move up to the sixth place in the lock round, the Yellows must beat Barcelona, preferably by a margin greater than two points, the margin by which they lost to the Catalans in the first round. Maccabi Tel Aviv will hope that at least one more team among Olympiakos (will host Red Star Belgrade), Panathinaikos (will play away against Bayern Munich) and Fenerbahce (will host Anadolu Efes) will lose to increase their chances of reaching the playoffs directly.
If Olympiakos and Fenerbahce both lose and Maccabi Tel Aviv beats Barcelona, it will reach the final round of the regular season hanging on itself in the fight for direct promotion to the playoffs. On the other hand, a loss or a win by a point for the yellows, plus victories by the other opponents mentioned, will send the Israeli champions to prepare for the play-in game where they will arrive from seventh place.
