Real Madrid visits Joventut Badalona for league game 29. It will be the last game before the start of the Euroleague playoff against Partizan on Tuesday. Our team will be looking for their 23rd win against the sixth-placed team on a court on which they have won in their 10 most recent visits.

The end of the Regular League is approaching six games to go for Real Madrid, who are still in the fight for the lead alongside Barça and Baskonia. Today they will face a tough test at the Olímpico de Badalona against a rival that also wants to climb the playoff places. Both teams come into this one having beaten Básquet Girona comfortably in their last game. Our team by 19 points and Penya by 28.
The two best rebounding teams in the competition go head-to-head, with Madrid leading the stats in this field. A tough battle is expected in the paint with two of the most imposing centres in the league, Tavares and Tomic. The Green and Blacks load their game close to the hoop and are the second team that shoots the most two-pointers. Chus Mateo's team is going through a good patch from the perimeter. In the victory against Girona they scored 13 three-pointers, an almost 50% success rate.

Madrid will have to make their blocking count, with many of their players capable of taking on the role of leaders. Tavares 17.3 and Musa 15.9 are the highest rated Madrid players in the league. For their part, Penya have a backbone of Tomic, Feliz, Birgander, Parra, Ellenson and Guy. In the first round, we won 96-79 at the WiZink Center and accumulated 10 wins against Joventut on their court. Causeur could reach 400 games for Real Madrid.
