Alba vs Real Madrid prediction and betting tips on March 19, 2024
Within the confines of the 30th round of the Euroleague in Berlin at the "Mercedes-Benz Arena," Alba and Real Madrid will clash. Will the hosts manage to challenge the favorite of the pair? Here is the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Alba Berlin
The Berlin club resides in the basement of the league table and endeavors tirelessly to escape the bottom position. Thus far, all efforts have been in vain, as in the current Euroleague campaign, Israel Gonzalez's team has emerged victorious in only five out of the 29 matches played. In the previous round, Alba hosted the French Monaco and suffered a defeat with a scoreline of 82:90.
It is worth noting that the Berlin club confidently won the first quarter (27:13); however, by the end of the first half, Monaco had made up for the deficit and calmly secured victory. This defeat marks the sixth consecutive loss in the Euroleague. Approaching the game against Real, Israel Gonzalez's proteges come off a home victory in the BBL over Tubingen - 112:69. Following the outcomes of the 21st round, Alba stands in third place with 16 victories.
Real Madrid
The Madrid collective continues to dominate confidently in the Euroleague, leading Barcelona, in second place, by two victories. In 29 matches, Jesus Mateo's team has secured 23 wins against six losses. Particularly, in the last match, the "whites" triumphed away against the Italian club Virtus Bologna with a score of 89:74.
Throughout the encounter, the Spaniards held the advantage and maintained a lead in the scoreline, making the result of the match well-deserved. It is noteworthy that the victory in Bologna interrupted Real's streak of three defeats in the Euroleague. In the Spanish championship, the Madrid club occupies the top position, leading Unicaja, the closest rival, by two points.
