Partizan-Real Madrid: aiming for victory in Belgrade

Real Madrid plays today against Partizan in the last EuroLeague match before the Copa del Rey. Our team will aim for victory away from home in their fight to stay in the playoff positions. They already know what it's like to win in Belgrade, having done so in their last four visits.

Since April 27, 2023, when Partizan went up 0-2 in the historic playoff that Real Madrid eventually turned around, the 8 matches played between both teams have all ended in victories for us, four of them on Serbian soil. In the first leg, Scariolo's team won 93-86 with a brilliant team performance. 

The hosts boast high-quality players like Payne, Sterling Brown, Bonga, Parker, Milton, or Washington, the latter three did not participate in the last matchday. Madrid will need to focus on their game plan and maintain concentration at all times to avoid conceding runs that, against Panathinaikos and Dubai Basketball, cost them victories.

Decisive stretch of the EuroLeague
A victory in Belgrade would be crucial for approaching the end of the regular phase. After today's match, Scariolo's side will play the next three at the Movistar Arena (Bayern Munich, Virtus Bologna, and Valencia Basket), where they have been very strong. Two weeks after the Copa del Rey will be decisive for the aspirations of finishing among the top four. Today, going for the win in Belgrade.
