Real Madrid-Bayern Munich: EuroLeague returns to the Palacio

More than a month after the victory against Monaco, Real Madrid returns tonight to the Movistar Arena in the EuroLeague to face Bayern Munich on game day 29. Ten rounds remain until the end of the regular season, and Scariolo's team, which boasts the best home record in the competition, now has three consecutive home games (Bayern, Virtus, and Valencia Basket).

The decisive phase leading to the playoffs begins. Real Madrid currently sits fourth and would have home-court advantage as things stand. Half of their remaining matches are at home, with the other half away. The next three games will be at the Palacio, providing a great opportunity to push towards their first major goal. Our team has won 12 of the 13 games played at the Movistar Arena. The last 8 victories have been consecutive, with the most recent being on January 22 against Monaco. Since then, they have played four consecutive away games.  

Bayern Munich occupies the lower-middle part of the standings (12-16) but comes into this match with 5 wins in their last 6 games, although they are the second-lowest scoring team away from home (2 wins). They are known for being an athletic, intense team with a defense that forces turnovers. Offensively, they have a dangerous perimeter with Dimitrijevic, Obst, and Mike, along with a solid interior game featuring Gabriel, Da Silva, McCormack, and Voigtmann.

Unbeaten at home against Bayern Munich
Real Madrid has won all nine home games against the German side. The last encounter was in the play-in of last season, which secured our team's playoff spot. In the first-round game in Munich, Bayern won (90-84), but the overall record favors the madridistas. This will mark the twentieth meeting between the two teams, with 14 wins for Real Madrid compared to Bayern's 5. Let's keep the streak going.
