It's a 1 vs 2 showdown as 2009 winds down

Alvaro Velasco / Translation by realmadrid.com

Week 14 of the ACB includes a contest between the top teams in the land. Real Madrid have won 14 straight at home dating back to last season as they welcome arch rival Barcelona. Only one win separates the two teams in the standings as 2009 winds down.

Two of the ACB’s premier titles contenders meet at Vistalegre on Sunday at 20:30 CET. It’s a battle of big name teams and big name players. Prigioni takes on Ricky Rubio, it’s Bullock vs. Navarro and some of Europe’s finest centers square off in the paint.

Real Madrid have won 14 straight at home dating back to last season. This year the Whites are 10-0 with six ACB wins and four Euroleague victories at Vistalegre. On Sunday, Ettore Messina will be without both Sergio Llull and Tomas van den Spiegel, both of whom are injured.

TEAM PLACE P W L PF PA +/-
Real Madrid  2nd 13 11 2  1012  905 +107
Barcelona  1st 13 12 1 1031 822 +209

Real Madrid and Regal FC Barcelona have met 157 times in the Liga Nacional and the ACB. The Merengues hold the upper hand with 86 wins, 17 more than their arch rival. The advantage is much more significant at home, where Real are 50-27 against Barcelona.

Only once in the last 15 years of the ACB have the top two teams in the standings notched so few defeats. Back in 2006/07, Real Madrid won their first thirteen games and second-place TAU Ceramica had lost just once. Real Madrid and Barcelona have combined for three defeats on the season.
