Union Olimpija face mighty Maccabi Tel Aviv

The first round of Eurocup LAST 32 phase in underway. Union Olimpija will start their mission from Tel Aviv where they are about to face none other than mighty Maccabi Fox.

It could not be more difficult at the start, but it is a also a big opportunity for Union Olimpija to show what they know. The squad from Ljubljana will play against Maccabi Tel Aviv on the road (Wednesday, 20:05).

The famous hosts are perhaps the favorite No. 1 for winning the Eurocup this season, despite they haven't really had quite good European journey so far. They failed to reach the Euroleague TOP 16 phase after a long time, which proves that they are venerable... Union Olimpija simply do not have anything to lose in this match, and that might be their advantage.

Also, it is worth mentioning that Group M might actually be the strongest Group in LAST 32 phase! Apart from Union Olimpija and Maccabi Tel Aviv, there are UNICS Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod... Every game will be a true basketball derby.
