Real Madrid look to maintain league winning streak at the WiZink Center
Real Madrid look for sixth straight home win in the competition against Baxi Manresa (12.30 pm CET).
Real Madrid to play the eleventh league match-day against Baxi Manresa with the aim of defending its unbeaten record at the WiZink Center, where it has won all five games played in the competition. Another game in less than 72 hours for our team, which will have to change the dynamic against an opponent that is desperate for a win to get out of the relegation zone.
Following the work put in during the midweek Euroleague game against Monaco, which was decided in overtime, Chus Mateo's team has a new physical and mental challenge in today's game. They receive a Baxi Manresa that will, by no means, make it easy for them. Madrid has shown great superiority in previous home games in the league. Of the five victories they have won by an average difference of 21.2 points, with an offence that exceeds 90 points per half and a defence that concedes less than 70 +14 to Obradoiro, +17 to Joventut, +22 to Fuenlabrada, +36 to UCAM Murcia and +17 to Valencia Basket.

Pedro Martinez's side, which has gone through many changes in the squad so far this season, will have to play without Caroline, who is very dangerous around the D. Harding, Ferrari and Waczynski, all stand out as great three-point shooters. In the mid-court, mobile and physically powerful inside players like Olumuyiwa, Perez and even Vaulet, who can fit in as both a three and a four.
A Compact Madrid
Madrid's collective play, with eight players averaging between 9 and 16.7 index point rating, and their strength in the danger zone are aspects they must master to win today. Should Yabusele come on at the WiZink Center, he will play his 100th game with Real Madrid. The Frenchman returned last Thursday after picking up an injury against Anadolu Efes. Today we will try to keep up our unbeaten run at home in the league as well as notching up our ninth victory in the competition.
