Valencia Team News
Valencia players can be satisfied with this season’s results in the Euroleague. They recorded four wins and four losses, so they are in the middle of the standings. Considering the strength of the other teams in this competition, the performance so far is acceptable.
They were on a three-game winning streak, but it was snapped last week in Bologna. Virtus defeated them convincingly 59-89 and it was their weakest display this season in the Euroleague. Before that, they beat Monaco 89-84, Olympiacos 83-82, and Alba 87-73, so the heavy defeat against Virtus did not spoil the overall impression.
Chris Jones has established himself as the absolute leader of this team. He is one of the most useful players in the entire competition, so it turned out to be an excellent move by the management of Valencia to bring him from Asvel in the summer. Jasiel Rivero, the Cuban center, recovered from an injury and returned to the floor last week. There is no doubt that this versatile player will be of great benefit to the team for the rest of the season.
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid players have definitely overcome a mild crisis. They have won five of their last six games in all competitions. They were especially convincing in the last two games. They defeated Alba 90-72 and Murcia 93-57 and showed a high level of quality on both sides of the field.
Despite the fact that several players are constantly out of the lineup due to injuries, this does not bother Los Blancos much. Their roster is deep and quality enough to compensate for the absence of any player.
The latest to be injured is French wing center Guerschon Yabusele, who joins Randolph, Hanga, Fernandez, and Alocen. However, in every match, the main role is played by another player, so the strength of the collective is the key advantage of Real this season.
H2H
Last season, these two teams played two meetings, and both times the visitors celebrated. Real Madrid won 93-79, and Valencia 94-93.
Valencia vs. Real Madrid Prediction
As a rule, the clashes between these teams are extremely effective and we believe that this trend will continue on Tuesday. Both teams are extremely potent offensively, so we expect an efficient match.
