Real Madird Team News

At the very start of the season, Real showed everyone that they were not European champions by chance and that with minimal corrections during the summer, they made an even better and better team than last season. For now, they are playing without a mistake and without defeat in all competitions. They have already easily defeated their biggest competitor Barcelona twice, while in the last round of the Euroleague, they defeated Anadolu Efes away from home with a 23-point difference. In that duel against Efes, Yabusele dominated, scoring 22 points and grabbing 8 rebounds, and was elected MVP of the second round of the Euroleague. Since the start of the season, Yabusele has been playing in top form, he has progressed even more physically, and it can be seen that he worked a lot during the summer on explosiveness and shooting from distance. The biggest reinforcement for Real, who is an x-factor in both directions and a real engine on the floor, is Facundo Campazzo, who is exactly what Real was missing last season.

They play in a fast rhythm and to the basket more. They regularly score over 90 points against their opponents, and the intensity does not drop during the entire match, which speaks volumes about the breadth of the roster as well as its quality. Zalgiris is a traditionally unpleasant opponent for Real, and we believe that Chus Mateo team will start with maximum focus from the very start.

Zalgiris Team News

Similar to Real, the team from Kaunas is also undefeated this season. But, unlike Madrid, twice this season in the Euroleague, they rose from the dead and achieved turnarounds and great victories. This speaks volumes for the kind of team they are, which never gives up. In the first round of the Euroleague, Virtus had a 15-point advantage, but even that was not enough. Keenan Evans hit some tough shots in the end and Zalgiris came away with a big win. It was similar in the match with Crvena zvezda. The Belgrade team controlled the match and were in the lead for almost 35 minutes, and they had +9 with only 5 minutes to go. Zalgiris was on the verge of defeat, but they were started by Butkevicius, who first brought the audience to their feet with a great dunk over Bolomboy, and then woke up his players with a three-pointer, who followed him and turned the match around.

Maksvytis was left without his best player this season at the end of the transfer window, of course we mean on Brazdeikis, but that did not affect the game of Zalgiris in the slightest. A team with perfectly distributed roles, where everyone contributes.

Only 4 teams with a 2-0 balance💯
