Dubai vs Real Madrid Prediction 24 September 2026
🏀 In the opening round of the EuroLeague regular season, Dubai take on Real Madrid. Both sides are known for their up-tempo, attacking brand of basketball, with no shortage of scoring talent on display. Given that it's the start of the season, it's unlikely we'll see flawless defensive execution from either team. Expect individual skill and offensive creativity to play a decisive role. All signs point toward a high-scoring contest.
Head-to-Head
📊 The sides last met recently in the EuroLeague Super Cup semifinals, where Real Madrid edged out a 98-95 victory. Prior to that, they clashed twice earlier this year, in January and February. Real Madrid first claimed a home win (107-93), before Dubai responded with a 93-85 triumph.
Head-to-head statistics Dubai - Real Madrid
Dubai: Hosts Eye Revenge
Dubai head into the tournament after an intense preseason. They kicked things off with friendlies against tough opponents - Beşiktaş (83-71) and Anadolu Efes (79-75). That was followed by the EuroLeague Super Cup, where the level of competition ramped up even further: first, they faced their upcoming rivals Real Madrid (95-98), then took on Fenerbahçe (77-85). Admittedly, wins have been hard to come by lately. Still, Dubai boast a highly intriguing roster. On home court, they are capable of delivering impressive performances. The hosts already look to be in solid shape. Even though Bacon picked up a knock, the team’s potential remains huge - Shengelia, Bertans, Okobo, and Musa all have the ability to give their Spanish counterparts a real headache.

Real Madrid: Super Cup winners in top form
Real Madrid recently lifted the EuroLeague Super Cup, edging out Olympiacos in a thrilling final, 93-89. It’s worth noting that Los Blancos were on pace to hit the 100-point mark, but as the game entered the final quarter, defense took center stage - with the trophy on the line, there was no room for error. In the regular season, though, Madrid are unlikely to focus on defense from the opening rounds; instead, their priority will be building offensive chemistry. With playmakers like Campazzo, Llull, and other seasoned veterans running the show, Madrid have the tools to break down Dubai’s defense - something they’ve already managed to do in the past. While playing on the road is always a challenge, Real’s mental toughness remains one of their biggest assets and could prove decisive in crunch time.

We have two sides with offensive firepower that’s nothing short of spectacular by EuroLeague standards. Dubai thrive on a high tempo and love to launch threes, and playing at home, they’re unlikely to change that philosophy - especially with the squad eager to avenge a recent defeat. Real Madrid, meanwhile, operate at a more measured pace, but their efficiency remains consistently elite. This promises to be a fascinating contest. Bookmakers are struggling to pick a clear favourite here. Our editorial team expects a fast-paced game with plenty of shot attempts, which should translate into a high-scoring affair. We’re backing over 170.5 total points.
