Second game from today's Euroleague schedule and we are moving to Tel Aviv and the traditional European derby among 3-4 best teams of the last 15 years.
Maccabi has not started so well, having had several shots in the league, but it comes from two sets in doubles in Malaga and Limoges and is too close to securing 2's position. The rest of the group's games defeated in Limoges and outside of Alba , and lost from Chedteva in and to Moscow from her current opponent with 99-80 in a game that was fought without Smith and Pargo.
CSKA is at the top of the group without losing any match yet. Excluding the match with Chedvita in Croatia, 4 has won with 76-72 in the other matches with two-time differences.
As in the Olympiacos match, there is also a big difference in capacity that is somewhat balanced with the hot seat of Maccabi. However, it is very difficult for the home team to stay close to the score until the end.

2o game from today and go to France where Limoges faces Maccabi.
The French after 5 matches have 1 winning and 4 defeats. However, the four defeats are normal as they came to 3 away from home against Maccabi, Alba and Malaga, while in the previous game they lost within 76-86 from the mighty CSKA in a playing 30 'with 71-59. Its unique victory has made it to Chedtebita with 71-60 at home.
Maccabi seems to have a lot of problems, with the result that Israel has suffered humiliating defeats by Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Jerusalem. In Europe it has a record 3-2, having beat Alba, Malaga and Limoges, and has lost to CSKA in Moscow and Chedvita in Tel Aviv in a game that Maccabi's performance was 1,03 !!!
My guide to the current bet is Limoges' very good appearance against CSKA a week ago and with the help of her world I think he will stay close to the match until the end.

The first round of the European Championship groups in the week that APOEL enters and will go to neighboring Israel to face Tel Aviv's Maccabi. The Israelis were eliminated from Basel in the Champions League League defeat with 1-0 defeat and 3-3 at home and reconcile with the Euro Cup clubs. They had a good presence in the two games with a strong opponent but the two quick goals they accepted in Tel Aviv's rematch wound up early and the hopes for qualifying. In their league they have two wins in the first two games without a goal. This week they did not have racing obligations due to the great Jewish celebration of Yom Kippur.

APOEL is perhaps the only team to be able to qualify for a European club with 2 defeats and 2 draws in four games and after two consecutive defeats managed to be drawn by a total of 30 teams to get Fener's place blocked by Uefa due to the fact. The team of Nicosia has not convinced anyone so far since after the two defeats managed to win an indoor victory over ENP, a team that will fight this year to stay in the class, and yesterday was defeated with AEL with 2 -1 having a very modest presence. Few phases, vulnerable to the defense, racing incompetence for another match, and mistaken choices from the coach, who in his statements at the end impelled them indirectly to his players. The murmurs have already begun, and trust in coach Paulo Sergio seems to have walked after the new failure.

Maccabi is a very strong team and definitely at home has always the first word. Finding APOEL in a generally ugly phase brings more chances to get her first three-paced at the group stage. Ace at 1.95.

The fifth and final match between Panathinaikos and Maccabi today in 20 000 Worldwide OAKA. Panathinaikos managed to get a game he needed in Tel Aviv and now the qualification is in Athens. The last ticket for Istanbul's Final Four where he will claim his European 7 is just 40 minutes away. I expect a more read Panathinaikos and with the support of the people to prevail more easily than the previous Israeli clashes.

The final day for Panathinaikos is not compatible with anything less than the victory in this game in Tel Aviv, not to be his last in this year's Euroleague. Maccabi wants a victory to go to the final of Istanbul and Panathinaikos double to allow him to play OAKA qualification next week in front of his world. Panathinaikos wants something that is missing today and I believe that with the back to the wall the team of Obradovic will show her teeth ...

We all saw what happened last week in the two OAKA games. At first the greens playing totalitarian basketball for three minutes raced Maccabi, but 48 hours later appeared totally different, tired and somewhat paranoid and Maccabi rightly took the big double in the prolongation.

So the European champion must take at least one of the two games in Israel to pass to Final 4. Restrained, defeated by defeat and of course by Obradovic's mastery, with a bit of a trick coming up against Blatt, I expect Panathinaikos to answer the Israelis to the hot Jad Eliao.

This is the game that PAO has to win and I believe it can do it because it has the experience, the coaching price and mainly does not chew from seats. The double at 2.20 is a challenge and I will bet it.
