After three consecutive away league fixtures, Real Madrid return to the WiZink Center for another tough encounter. The Whites welcome Joventut 7:30 pm CET for matchday four of the Liga Endesa and will be vying to continue their 100%-winning record since the season started.
 
This will be the second home clash of the campaign for Chus Mateo‘s men who will be looking to secure victory in front of the home fans, having previously done so against Obradoiro two weeks ago 93-79. Meanwhile, the Catalan side head to the madridistas’ court after a fine performance and victory last time out against Río Breogán 85-66.
This clash sees two of the league’s top attacks go head-to-head Chus Mateo’s charges average 87.6 points and Madrid will have to make the most of their offensive firepower if they are to prevail against a side that concedes an average of 81 points. Musa 17.3 points, Yabusele 13.3, Hezonja 11.7 and Tavares 10 have all averaged double-digit scoring for Madrid. Carles Duran’s troops, meanwhile, have one of the competition’s most clinical shooters in Kyle Guy 18.7 points, in addition to the in-form Ellenson and Tomic.
 
Historic rivalry
This will be the 182nd league clash between Madrid and Joventut. The Whites have triumphed 135 times out of the 181 matches played. In recent encounters, the madridistas have beaten the side from Badalona on nine of the last ten occasions.
