H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Saski Baskonia Team Overview
Saski Baskonia have spent the entire EuroLeague season as underdogs, losing four of their last five games. However, they can be a tough opponent due to their offensive prowess, averaging 88 points per game (8th in the league). If it weren't for their leaky defense (conceding 93.5 points, the worst in the league), they could have been contenders for a play-in spot.
In the latest round, the Basques proved they are not to be underestimated by defeating the formidable Hapoel at home (118-109). Saski caught fire offensively, delivering an outstanding shooting percentage (62.7%, with 43.7% from beyond the arc). Unsurprisingly, with such efficiency, seven players scored in double figures. It will be fascinating to see how Galbiati's squad performs against Real Madrid's strong defense. They did well in the recent Copa del Rey final (100-89).

Real Madrid Team Overview
Real Madrid are on a remarkable run with nine wins in their last ten games, continuing to impress on the road. Known for their solid defense, they allow just 82.5 points per game in the EuroLeague (ranked 2nd) while averaging 87.7 points offensively (10th position). However, despite their consistent performance, they have a vulnerability-limited scoring efficiency away from home, rarely exceeding 92 points against Baskonia (10 out of the last 11 games). Nevertheless, this level of scoring often proves sufficient for victory.
In their recent fixture, Scariolo's side showcased their class by comfortably defeating Anadolu Efes (82-71). Madrid stumbled at the start and found themselves trailing by double digits but then shifted into high gear to set things right. It's often noted that Real's greatest asset is their deep rotation, ensuring points are evenly distributed across the roster. Defensive dominance is anchored by the formidable big man Tavares, while a different player steps up to shine in each offensive outing.
