Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Real Madrid vs Valencia

Real Madrid

The team is the current Euroleague champion and, apparently, has plans to defend the title. Now the team is confidently in first place in the competition table, having a good gap from their pursuers. Real plays great basketball. He has the best point differential in the 2023/24 EuroLeague.

In the Spanish championship, the team is also in first place with a good lead over its pursuers. Real Madrid are in excellent shape on all fronts and this is no coincidence. He's not afraid of anyone and it's all business.

Who should be singled out among the “cream”? Everyone here is good, but if we need some individual heroes, then we need to name such names as: Musa, Hezonja, Campazzo, Tavares, Poirier, Coser and so on. Madrid have a great squad.

In the match against Valencia the team will work in their usual style. She knows her opponent very well, just as he knows her, but Real has undeniable class on her side. In this case, nothing portends trouble for the Los Blancos.

Valencia

The team is actively fighting for the top ten in the Euroleague. Basically, this speaks volumes about her condition right now. Valencia is not the favorite of the tournament, but perhaps it should not be underestimated. The team has a good defensive line and it is from this that they build their basketball. Real are good in attack. Here you need to try to neutralize your opponent's trump card. If it works out, then the “bats” will have a chance to win the match, although not too obvious.

Who can win the battle against Los Blancos? Here we should name: Ojeleye, Harper, Davis, Inglis and Jones. These guys are doing well now and doing well as a performer.

In the national championship, Valencia ranks outside the TOP-8. In principle, the situation is similar to the Euroleague. The Bats aren't going too high, but they're still in contention for big goals. The team is trying, but it has some work to do. It's a little worrying when a battle with a giant in excellent shape is visible on the horizon.
