Real Madrid vs Baskonia prediction and betting tips on April 23, 2024
On Tuesday, April 23, in the Euroleague playoffs there will be two meetings, among them the battle of Real Madrid - Baskonia. The prediction for the exciting Spanish confrontation was prepared by Dailysports experts.
Real Madrid
The current season for the Madrid team is going very well, for a long time the team did not lose at all, although it is incredibly difficult to play in this mode. As a result, Real Madrid managed to win the Euroleague regular season with 27 wins and 7 losses, beating the nearest pursuer by four wins. There are no problems in the Spanish championship, where with 25 wins and 5 losses Madrid share the lead.
Of course, Real wants to win all tournaments this season, such a task the team can do. Let's remember that Madrid are the current winners of the Euroleague, now they are defending their prestigious title.
Baskonia
With a record of 18 wins and 16 losses, Baskonia was only eighth in the Euroleague regular season. They had to play play-in games, where they first lost to Maccabi and then defeated Virtus Bologna, which allowed them to get far. Considering the level of the upcoming opponent, getting far will be difficult.
The team is not quite coping with playing on two fronts, as they are only ninth in the Spanish championship, one win behind the desired eight, so everything depends on the end of the regular season. On their best day, Baskonia is capable of beating any opponent, however, the current season clearly lacks stability.
