Real Madrid v Río Breogán: league action returns to WiZink Center
Laso's troops face their final game before the start of the EuroLeague playoffs (12:30pm CET).
League action returns to the WiZink Center three weeks on from Real Madrid's last home match-up as Round 29 sees the Whites entertain Río Breogán. This will be the team's last game before the EuroLeague playoff against Maccabi gets underway, with the first two games of the series to come next Wednesday and Friday. With six games to go before the end of the Regular Season, Laso's lot need to keep on racking up the wins to secure a spot amongst the top eight.
The madridistas will be keen to get back to winning ways in the league. The team's last triumph came 21 days ago at the WiZink Center in the 92-77 triumph over Urbas Fuenlabrada. Lying second in the standings, the Whites' playoff destiny is in their own hands, as is their bid to secure home-court advantage. Today's match-up against Río Breogán will be a tough test, with the guests sitting in 10th and just one win off the team in eighth and enjoying one of their best-ever ACB campaigns. The visitors come into this contest on the back of a 98-94 win over Baxi Manresa last Thursday.

This match-up sees our team face the third-best attack in the league 84.5 per game. The guests are a very attacked-minded team that takes no chances, is strong on rebounds and effective under the basket. Whilst they will be without the league’s leading points-scorer and most valuable player in Musa, who has undergone surgery on a tracheal fracture, the guests boast a whole host of competitive players in Mahalbasic, Bell-Haynes, Lukovic, Kalinoski and Cruz. Madrid boasts the most valued roster with an average of 94.3, with Tavares, Poirier, Deck and Yabusele in double figures in this department.
Two from two this season
Real Madrid has prevailed in this season’s two meetings against the Galicians. The Whites won 71-79 in the reverse league match and claimed a 73-67 victory in the Copa del Rey meeting in Granada. The madridistas have also emerged victorious in each of the last four home match-ups against Río Breogán. The Whites face a very tough game just three days ahead of the start of the series against Maccabi.
