Monbus Obradoiro-Real Madrid: looking to keep putting points on the board in the league
Our team face a tough away trip to Santiago on matchday 32 (6:00pm CEST).
There are just three rounds of games left in the ACB Regular Season. Having already qualified for the playoffs, Real Madrid head to the Fontes Do Sar in Santiago de Compostela in search of another win that will solidify their league standings ahead of the knock-out rounds for the title which get underway on 24 May. It's sure to be a tough test given Monbus Obradoiro are yet to secure their survival for next season.
Our team come into the clash having won their last six. During that run, they have averaged 87.6 points and they reached their highest total of the season in the game against Joventut, with 99. Madrid are showing impressive levels throughout the team right now, with 5 different players having led the group over these last six victories, namely Poirier, Yabusele, Causeur, Deck and Tavares. The center is set to play having been named best defender in the competition for the second year in a row.

Monbus Obradoiro have been steady on home turf, where they have won both of their last two games. They will have the benefit of an ever committed fan base who really pile the pressure on. Just two wins away from the relegation spots, they will be hoping to seal the victory which keeps them up next season as soon as possible. Madrid will be up against a side full of offensive talent. Six players really lead from the front for this team, headed by the center Birutis and the forward Thomas Scrubb. The arrival of Vicedo and the other Scrubb, Phil, have added to their depth on the outside. They sit second for most fouls won in the league. Their weak point lies up the other end, where they concede an average of 86.2 points, so our boys will have to make their offensive firepower count.
Three games ahead of the Final Four
In the first half of the season, Laso's boys ran out winners in Madrid by 78 to 68 thanks to a fine final quarter ending in a +10 run. That was the latest in a streak of 8 successive league wins over the Galician team, which began back in 2017-18. In 7 days, the madridistas will play their final 3 Regular Season fixtures - today's, Wednesday at the WiZink Center against UCAM 9:00pm CEST and Saturday's visit to Herbalife Gran Canaria 8:45pm CEST. Three demanding matchups which will prepare them for the Clásico in the Euroleague semi-finals against Barça on May 19.
