Real Madrid News
Real Madrid made a big change during last summer. After more than a decade, Pablo Laso has been replaced. In his place, longtime assistant Jesus Mateo was promoted as new head coach and the task is to be the best in all competitions.
Last season, Real Madrid lost in the Euroleague final against Anadolu Efes. One possession separated them from the title. Quite logically, they decided to keep all important players, plus upgrading the team by signing Mario Hezonja, Dzanan Musa and Sergio Rodriguez. On paper, Real Madrid has perhaps the most powerful roster in Europe. However, they are at 10-6 after 16 rounds and they are definitely not as dominant as they have the potential to be.
Last week, Real Madrid lost to Baskonia in the Euroleague. Then, they were defeated in El Classico in the Endesa League in front of their fans. There is no doubt that after such two results they will be highly motivated to redeem themselves against Maccabi.
Maccabi Tel Aviv Team News
Maccabi are one of the most pleasant surprises so far in the Euroleague. They are in seventh place with nine wins and seven losses. They play particularly well on their floor. Maccabi played eight games in Tel Aviv and only Barcelona beat them.
On the other hand, Maccabi form at road are not so good. They only won twice out of eight games played. This happened against Olimpia Milano and Alba Berlin. In the last couple of weeks, they played without injured Wade Baldwin and Alex Poythress, but the result didn’t suffer. Lorenzo Brown has taken all the responsibility in offense and he has been unstoppable this season. Along with Vasilije Micic, he is the best point guard in the Euroleague at this moment.
Maccabi can definitely play a good offensive game in Madrid, but in order to beat Real, it will be necessary for the defense to stand out. This was not always the case. Especially not in Vitoria where they conceded 116 points. They also had terrible defensive performances in road games against Partizan and Bayern.
Real Madrid vs Maccabi Tel Aviv H2H
Real Madrid won 10 of their last 12 games against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Euroleague. They played against each other five times last season and Real emerged victorious on four occasions.
Injuries and Suspensions
Rudy Fernandez and Adam Hanga are questionable, while all other players are available to Real Madrid. Alex Poythress won’t play for Maccabi Tel Aviv and Wade Baldwin is questionable.
Real Madrid vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction
After the two heavy blows they received against Baskonia and Barcelona, Real Madrid will certainly respond. We should expect them to be focused and motivated from the first minute. If this is the case, it is realistic that they will defeat Maccabi by a double-digit margin in their hall.
