Head-to-head statistics Maccabi - Real Madrid
Maccabi Tel Aviv: Banking on a High-Tempo Approach
Maccabi had been struggling until recently, suffering defeats in nearly every outing. However, they've now turned things around, racking up five wins in their last six games. Notably, they edged out Valencia on the road (91-88) and previously dispatched Milan with authority (97-79). On average, the team posts 84.8 points per game - only the 11th-best offensive mark in the league. That statistic, though, is largely a result of their sluggish start to the season. With their current potential, Maccabi are more than capable of breaking the 90-point barrier, even against the likes of Real Madrid. The main issue remains their defense: with their fast-paced style, opponents are afforded plenty of scoring opportunities. As a result, Maccabi concede an average of 90 points per game.

Real Madrid: the attack has hit top form
Real Madrid are cruising through their campaign - not just in the EuroLeague, but also in the Spanish championship. The team are riding a six-game winning streak, having recently dismantled Bilbao Basket (119-84) and Olympiacos (111-92). The visitors boast one of the most expensive rosters in the EuroLeague, featuring a host of players with NBA experience. Their solid chemistry translates into a well-structured offense that can maintain pressure throughout all 40 minutes. As previously mentioned, Maccabi have notable weaknesses on the defensive end, and Real should be well-positioned to exploit them. It’s also worth highlighting Real’s dominance in the paint - they rank fourth in the league for rebounds (38.5 per game), which could prove a significant advantage against the Israeli powerhouse.
