Casademont Zaragoza-Real Madrid: aiming for victory away from home
After Thursday's excellent victory against Fenerbahce, Scariolo's team return to league action this morning (12:30 pm CET).
Real Madrid face the Endesa League matchday 5 at Casademont Zaragoza three days after producing their best performance of the season with a brilliant victory over Fenerbahce in the Euroleague. Our team will be looking to secure victory away to a tough opponent (12:30 pm CET).
Real Madrid arrive with their morale boosted after beating Fenerbahce by 26 points (84-58) at the Movistar Arena, where they are proving unbeatable. Now they have four consecutive away games. After today's game, they face a Clásico in the Euroleague (Friday 7), Joventut in the league (Sunday 9) and Valencia Basket in the Euroleague (Tuesday 11).
Casademont Zaragoza have a record of two wins (both times scoring over 100 points) and two losses, by 4 points or less. At home, they beat Baskonia and lost to Breogán. They are a very well-rounded team (third in ratings), scoring a lot of points (94.5 points) and leading the League in rebounds.
Positive streak
Madrid will be without Okeke due to a sprained ankle. Tavares and Lyles are the team's highest-rated players in the League (21.7 and 19, respectively). Last season, our team won at Príncipe Felipe 89-104 with 23 points from Hezonja. In total, our team has strung together five league wins against the Aragonese side, whom they faced in a pre-season friendly, winning 94-64. All out for November's first victory.
