Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid are playing this season in line with expectations. They are in second place in the Euroleague with a 16-7 record, while they are in first place in the Endesa League. Real Madrid also won the Spanish Super Cup back in September when they beat Barcelona 89:83 after overtime.
The important thing for Real Madrid is that the core of their team remained the same. They kept all important players, plus improved positions where there might not have been enough quality. With the arrivals of Dzanan Musa, Petr Cornelie, Mario Hezonja and Sergio Rodriguez, they got the necessary depth. When it comes to this club, things are clear. Their ambition is to win trophies in all competitions, and one has already ended up in their showcases.
Already in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, Real Madrid will have a difficult opponent. Valencia have been in outstanding form lately which means that Jesus Mateo’s side will have to be on their toes. Real Madird will try to make the most of the advantage under the hoop with Walter Tavares, and if they succeed in that, they will be very close to qualify for the semifinals.
Valencia Team News
When Valencia lost to Baskonia in January, it looked like this season would be a complete disaster. On top of all that, several starters were injured, plus some Spanish journalists began to question the fate of head coach Alex Mumbru.
And then, when no one expected it, Valencia renaissance began. Without six players, they outplayed Anadolu Efes and Asvel, and then won three more games in a row in the Euroleague. They were also better than Panathinaikos in Athens last week, so now they are in eighth place and have a good chance to play in the quarterfinals. It’s interesting that they have a lower ratio in the Endesa League, where they are also in eighth position.
Good thing for Valencia is that almost all important players are healthy now. They recently signed Shannon Evans who has brought another dimension to their offense. Valencia will enter this game without pressure, and when this is the case, “Taronges” are the most dangerous.

Real Madrid vs Valencia Prediction
It’s fact that Real Madrid has a much better team, but Valencia are playing its best basketball since the beginning of the season. They certainly won’t come with a white flag and will do everything they can to make an upset. Valencia may not succeed in that, but they are definitely good enough not to lose by double digits.
