Real Madrid-Valencia: the league leaders host third
The Whites will be looking for their eighteenth consecutive victory in the league this evening at the Movistar Arena (6:30 pm CEST).
Real Madrid welcome Valencia Basket in Endesa League round 30, aiming to add an 18th consecutive victory in the competition. This evening, the Movistar Arena hosts a clash between the ACB leader and its third-placed team (6:30 pm CEST). There are only five games to go until the end of the Regular League and Chus Mateo's team is still two wins ahead of second-placed La Laguna Tenerife (with a game in hand) and four ahead of Valencia.
Our team is very close to finishing the season unbeaten at home in the league. To do so, they have to win the two remaining home games: today's game against Valencia and the Round 33 game against Covirán Granada, which will be played in three weeks' time. The last time the Madridistas lost an ACB game at home was on 31 March 2024.
A tough opponent
The opposition will be one of the four teams that have managed to beat Madrid in the Endesa League this season. It came in the first round match, played at La Fonteta, and it finished up with a narrow 85-84 loss. It was our team's last defeat in the competition and we have to go back to last December to find it.
Team statistics
The key to this great run of form for the Madridistas lies in their defensive solidity. They are the team that has conceded the fewest points and dominate the competition in blocks (3.86 per game) and defensive rebounds (27.86). Valencia, for their part, are also having a fantastic season and are the team with the best rating in the league (114.86). They also lead the league in points scored, averaging 97, rebounds (41.48), assists (22.31) and three-pointers (13.52). Jean Montero and Chris Jones are their most outstanding players.
