Real Madrid-MoraBanc Andorra: the leader seeks their 11th consecutive victory in the League
Our team faces the second of four games in six days at the Movistar Arena (5:00 pm; Dazn).
Real Madrid hosts MoraBanc Andorra in matchday 25 of the League. It will be the second game in just six days following Friday's game against Baskonia and before next week's decisive double-header in the EuroLeague with visits to Olympiacos and Fenerbahce. Scariolo's side, leaders with a four-game lead over the second, will aim to extend their streak of 10 consecutive wins in the national competition.
A challenging game due to both the schedule and the opponent, whose 17th place in the standings does not reflect their true potential. The madridistas will need to put in a solid effort to secure their 23rd victory in the League. They have the support of a Palacio where they have won 10 of the 11 games played. MoraBanc Andorra will try to break their streak of three consecutive defeats. Away from home, they have only managed to win at the San Pablo Burgos court.
The Andorrans are a team with a strong offensive identity. They possess plenty of talent on the perimeter with Evans, Okoye, Kuric, and the recovered Castañeda. Additionally, their latest addition, Rice, has made a significant impact averaging 19.8 points over four games. Inside, Pustovyi and Pons stand out in a shorter rotation. Defensively, they concede almost 94 points on average. Madrid will need to leverage their squad depth. Hezonja is the leading scorer for Scariolo's team with 16.7 points per game, followed by Lyles (11.1) and Campazzo (10.7). The American power forward did not feature against Baskonia.
Recent meetings favor the Whites
Real Madrid has won the last five League encounters against the Andorrans, although these have been challenging games. In the first leg, our team secured the victory in the Principality by 85-90, after coming back starting from the second quarter. Tavares and Len were the standout players, asserting their dominance in the paint. This afternoon, the leader will seek another victory in front of their fans.
