Maccabi-Real Madrid: aiming to extend the winning streak

Real Madrid faces Maccabi in the seventh round of the EuroLeague. Our team, currently on a three-game winning streak in this competition (Partizan, Olimpia Milano, and Asvel) and six consecutive wins overall including three in the League against Obradoiro, Manresa, and Bilbao Basket, will aim to extend the streak at the Nikolic Hall in Belgrade, the temporary home of the Israeli team.  

Pedro Martínez's squad seeks to reinforce the positive momentum of recent weeks, not only through victories but also in the manner they are achieved. In four of the six wins, they have surpassed 110 points, averaging 115 in the last two games, including the three-point record set in an ACB game against Bilbao Basket. In the EuroLeague, Madrid averages 92.3 points per game, with their guards Maledon (15.2 points), Feliz (11.8), and Campazzo (8.8) leading offensively alongside Tavares (9.5).

After three consecutive defeats, Maccabi has won two of their last three games. In the previous round, they secured a victory in Valencia with a score of 88-91. Their greatest threat lies near the basket, where they boast a 60% success rate in two-point shots, the second-best in the competition. It is a very physical team that has added experience and quality with Madar, Colson, and Theis. Additionally, they have several players capable of scoring, including Hoard, Clark III, and Sorkin, among others.

Head-to-head
Madridistas and Israelis will write a new chapter in a historic rivalry that began in the 1967/68 season. This will be the 76th encounter, with a favorable record for our team of 47-28 victories. The most recent meeting was in January of this year, with Real Madrid winning 98-86 at the Movistar Arena. Tonight, the aim is to continue the streak.
