Only ten games are left until the Euroleague's regular season is over. Each must be treated as a critical match for Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv due to their importance in the battle for a playoff spot. On Thursday (9 pm Israel time, 2 pm EST), the Yellows will host Bayern Munich, knowing that a loss might prove crucial in this challenging quest to reach the top 8.
Oded Kattash's team has a 12:12 record, superior to the Germans' 9:15, but has struggled to find momentum lately after losing the Israeli state cup final and its last home game in the Euroleague. Nevertheless, the Yellows are only one game behind Valencia, currently ranked 8th in the table.

"We are used to being in situations like these, and we should know how to deal with them," said Kattash in the press conference ahead of tomorrow's game. "I hope we will do it better than we did against Jerusalem and Red Star Belgrade. Bayern is a team that knows what it wants and presents many challenges to its opponents. Hopefully, things will work out better than in our last meeting with them."
"We know we are in a difficult position right now," Jarell Martin added. "We need to recover from our last losses, but we are definitely focused on improving and finishing the last stretch strong. We need to win something like 7 of the ten remaining games, and I'm confident this is a goal we can achieve."
