Real Madrid-Coviran Granada: last home game before the Cup
The league leader seeks their 17th victory before facing a week with two away fixtures (5:00 pm; Dazn).
Real Madrid concludes today at the Movistar Arena a challenging week with trips to Athens and Dubai in the EuroLeague. This afternoon, they host Coviran Granada on matchday 19 of the League, the penultimate game before the Copa del Rey. Our team, the league leader, will aim for another home victory, where they won't return until February 26.
Scariolo's squad must overcome the fatigue from their European matches. The depth of the roster should allow them to compete effectively despite injuries and the demanding schedule. Madrid has achieved four consecutive victories in the League and has won 8 of the 9 games played at home. Last week, they defeated Casademont Zaragoza by 21 points.
Coviran Granada occupies the last position in the table. They have strengthened their squad with guards Ngouama, Pérez, and Howard, as well as power forward Alibegovic. Bozic is their main offensive reference in a team where Rousselle and Pere Tomás provide veteran leadership and experience.
In the first-round game, Madrid won 101-111 in Granada, achieving the second-best offensive performance of the season after scoring 112 against Bàsquet Girona. The two teams have faced each other seven times, with Madrid winning all encounters: 3 at home and 4 in Granada. Today, the goal is to remain undefeated.
