Madrid looking for fourth EuroLeague win
Chus Mateo's charges head into their second game of the week at the WiZink Center after Tuesday's win over Zalgiris (8.45pm CET).
This evening, Real Madrid welcome EA7 Emporio Armani Milan to the WiZink Center for their second game of the week of a EuroLeague double header. The Whites will be vying to repeat the victory from 48 hours ago against Zalgiris to continue their unbeaten run in Europe so far this campaign. The madridistas go into the clash on the back of 10 straight victories and will face one of the favourites for the Final Four in Berlin, having reinforced their squad with former Madrid player Mirotic, among others.
Matchday four of the competition should be a cracker at the WiZink Center. Messina's side will provide a stern test for one of the top sides in the competition. In the three games played, the madridistas are yet to taste defeat, with two away victories and their home opener on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Italians have a record of one win and one loss but have one game in hand due to the postponed game against Maccabi in Israel. They lost their opener at Fenerbahçe in overtime and last time out they beat Olympiacos at home.

The European champions are in excellent form, winning most of their games with ease. Basic qualities such as rebounding and defence will once again be decisive. The Italians will be looking to make up for their poor season with Mirotic, Maodo Lo, Poythress and Kamagate, while retaining top players such as Pangos, Billy Baron, Shields and Voigtmann. This is a very physical team with a huge threat from the outside.
