H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Saski Baskonia Team Overview
Baskonia, despite having a fairly solid roster, have had a rough start to the season. They are coming off four consecutive losses, conceding over 100 points in three of those games. Discussing any long-term defensive prospects seems premature at this point. The hosts need to address their offensive play. Even at high speeds, their attack lacks efficiency. However, there is no alternative-slowing down the game against Real will only reduce their chances further. So, Howard and company will aim to outshoot the multiple-time Spanish champions.
Baskonia's last outing was in the EuroLeague, where they suffered a narrow defeat to Panathinaikos with a score of 84-86. Luwawu-Cabarrot delivered an impressive performance with 16 points, but it wasn't enough.

Real Madrid Team Overview
Despite a rough patch at the end of September, where Real Madrid looked out of sorts (losing to Bologna in their EuroLeague opener and letting the Super Cup slip away against Valencia), things have started to turn around. Recently, they secured a commanding victory over ASVEL with a score of 85-72. Just before that, they managed to outplay their fierce rivals Olympiacos 89-77. While the visitors aren't pushing the pace too much, with several veteran players in their lineup who prefer a more measured tempo, there is room for rotation in domestic competitions.
Recently, forward Okeke has been showing promising form. The former NBA big man scored 17 points in the recent game against ASVEL, hitting 100% of his three-point attempts (4 out of 4).

Editorial Prediction
Real Madrid's main advantage lies not only in their well-rounded roster but also in their emotional edge. The visitors see themselves as true giants of continental basketball, often pulling through in challenging matchups due to this mindset. Key players like Hezonja, Campazzo, and Tavares have found their rhythm, making it unlikely that anyone from Baskonia will be able to stop them. Additionally, Lyles is acclimating to the European basketball scene. Each position boasts two quality players, giving Real a depth advantage over Baskonia, who are generally weaker and struggling stylistically with no clear solution in sight. It's reasonable to expect the "Royal" club to score heavily, but our editorial team suggests backing a Real Madrid victory.
