3 Key game details

Real Madrid have won every possible trophy since their last win in Vitoria. Baskonia has made a lot of trouble for Real, and this will be an interesting game to follow.

Prediction 1: Real Madrid to win @ 1/2 (1.50)

Real Madrid won the EuroLeague title last season despite having an average season for their standards. They picked up the pace when needed and managed to go all the way to the trophy. They have lost the last four games against Baskonia but started this season with five straight wins. First, they won the Spanish Super Cup with back to back wins over Barcelona and Unicaja Malaga. They showed their great form with a 3-0 start in the ACB league and now will start strong in the elite competition as well. Baskonia is a solid team that will play their game, but this time, Real Madrid will take care of business.

Prediction 2: Facundo Campazzo over 12.5 points @ 17/20 (1.85)

Facundo Campazzo is back in Madrid after three seasons split between the NBA and Crvena Zvezda last season. His NBA tenure was not as successful as his career in Madrid, and now, when all that is in the past, the Argentinian is back and ready to continue where he stopped. He has been the leader of this team in the past and won every tournament. This will be an emotional comeback for him, and he will make sure to be one to remember. Campazoo is a great scorer and will start with a strong performance going over 12.5 points against Baskonia.

Who wins the Spanish clash?

Baskonia won both games against Real Madrid last year in the EuroLeague and have won the last four overall. Whoever follows European basketball knows that the team from Vitoria is very dangerous at home, so this will not be an easy trip for the defending champion Real Madrid.
