Baskonia-Real Madrid: aiming for the eighth consecutive league victory

Real Madrid looks to continue its strong streak this evening in the Liga Endesa. After defeating Red Star on Thursday in the EuroLeague, the leaders of the domestic championship, with a perfect record, face a tough outing to the Buesa Arena, where they take on Baskonia in the match corresponding to the eighth round (7:00 pm CEST; Dazn).

The start of the league couldn’t be better. Pedro Martínez’s team has been unstoppable in offense, being the highest-scoring team with an average of 106 points per game. The goal will be to maintain this offensive level to extend their winning streak. Both teams have already faced each other this season in the EuroLeague, in a game that ended with a madridista victory by 86-104.

Despite facing a rival with a strong scoring average (95 points) and similar defensive records (84 points conceded by Baskonia compared to Real Madrid's 85), our team has shown great offensive efficiency away from home. In their two away games, they have surpassed the 100-point mark: against Monbus Obradoiro (114) and Lleida (122), a game in which they set the ACB's all-time record for three-pointers in a match (24).

Baskonia
Our opponent comes into this match in good form in the league. They are third in the standings, with five wins in seven games, and remain unbeaten at the Buesa Arena (three victories). They are an especially dangerous team from the perimeter, boasting the best three-point shooting percentage in the league (44.51%), thanks to players like Simons (72.2%). A tough test for the leaders in Vitoria.
