Casademont Zaragoza-Real Madrid: penultimate outing of the league Regular Season

Real Madrid visits Casademont Zaragoza today in the 30th round of La Liga, two days before the start of the Euroleague playoff against Baskonia. Our team will try to achieve another win away from home in its fight to hold onto the lead at the end of the Regular Season, which will be contested by Unicaja de Málaga.

The madridistas will find themselves up against a very changed team compared to the one they faced of the first day of league action, which they beat 101-70. The point guard Cuevas, the power forward Delany and the centre Watt will be the novelties for an opponent with talent on the perimeter (Bell-Haynes, Smith, McFadden, Langarita and Yusta) and who are good at rebounding. But they also commit the most turnovers and concede almost 85 points per game. Chus Mateo's team will have to make their offensive power count (87.9 points on average) to get a win before thinking about next Tuesday's European game at the WiZink Center.

Final stretch
With five games remaining in the Regular Season, Real Madrid have 24 wins in 29 games, the same record as Unicaja. After visiting Casademont Zaragoza, we have Obradoiro, Granada and Baskonia at home, and Valencia Basket away. The Andalusians will host Baskonia, UCAM Murcia and Zunder Palencia, and travel to the courts of Lenovo Tenerife and Barcelona. The first thing is to try to get a win at Príncipe Felipe, where our opponents have won their last two games. Of their 11 victories, 9 have been at home.
