Real Madrid-Surne Bilbao Basket: aiming to close the week with a perfect record

Real Madrid hosts Surne Bilbao Basket in the fourth round of the league. Our team, which has achieved five consecutive victories, three of them since last Sunday (Manresa, Olimpia Milan, and Asvel), seeks to continue the streak and remain unbeaten in the national competition against a rival that is also among the top spots in the standings.

Pedro Martínez's team is riding a positive wave with excellent gameplay, especially in offense. In three of the five consecutive wins, they have surpassed 110 points (114 against Obradoiro, 120 against Manresa, and 111 against Asvel). The goal will be to complete this week with a perfect record following the double round of the EuroLeague, where Feliz has shone with two standout performances (26 and 30 efficiency ratings). The improvement of Maledon is also a key factor in the team's strong performance. The French point guard leads in efficiency ratings both in the league (24.7) and in the EuroLeague (21.5).

Facing them will be a Bilbao Basket team that has started the season well, presenting itself as a solid unit and an offensively-minded team. They have surpassed the 100-point mark twice, shoot with nearly 40% accuracy in three-pointers, and lead the league in blocks (an average of 3.67). Five of their players have double-digit efficiency ratings, led by Hilliard and a perimeter packed with talent (Frey, Normantas, Somogyi, and Darling).

Strong at home
The Movistar Arena must play a fundamental role in such a tough and competitive season. So far, Madrid has won all four of their home games, and keeping their home court unbeaten will be important to aim for everything. Today, it's another test for Pedro Martínez's team, as they look to secure their sixth consecutive win of the season.
