Command Analysis

Real Madrid

Current form
The famous Spanish club is gradually returning to its usual level. The team has come close to the play-in zone, but its ambitions extend much higher. In the last three matches, Chus Mateo charges demonstrated confident play, beating Paris (96:85), Monaco (94:72) and Alba (80:69).
Such results add confidence, but there are still a number of questions related to the instability of the game in the previous rounds. Nevertheless, Real has the depth of the squad and is capable of fighting for the highest places. The match against Bayern will be an excellent opportunity to continue the winning streak and return to the top 10 of the Euroleague.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team approaches the meeting with its optimal line-up.
Interesting facts for betting
The team has lost only once in the last five matches.
Estimated line-up: Abalde - Musa, Rafa - Campazzo, Deck.

FC Bayern Munchen

Current form
The German club holds a place in the top five of the Euroleague, but the loss of points in the last rounds is alarming. After the failure in the game against Panathinaikos (69:80), it became obvious that Bayern attack is experiencing serious problems.
The team will try to rehabilitate, but it is extremely difficult to do so away from home against a motivated Real Madrid. Competitors such as Fenerbahce are already breathing down their necks, so the German club understands the importance of the next match. However, the visitors' attack line clearly needs to improve in order to be competitive against the Madrid giants.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vladimir Lucic will not play in the next match due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
In the current Euroleague competition, the German club has won three away games.
Expected lineup: Voigtmann - Giffey, Booker - Weiler-Babb, Edwards.

Bayern have struggled in a highly competitive environment and the recent defeat has only increased the pressure on the team. The German club will try to put up a fight, but playing away against a motivated Real Madrid is no easy task.
The Madrid club shows aggressive and dynamic basketball, which is confirmed by their winning streak. Confidence in their strength after three successful matches makes Real a clear favorite of the meeting. We believe that the Spaniards will continue their successful streak and secure a place in the top 10.
Our prediction is Real Madrid to win with a handicap of (-5.5) points at 1.74
Bet on total
Bayern attack was underwhelming in the recent match against Panathinaikos, and the away nature of the game only adds to the problems. Real are in good shape, but are unlikely to force the issue from the start. We expect the game to be measured and cautious, which will lead to a total under the expected.
Forecast - total under 173.5 points for 1.69
Bet on statistics
The German club looks unconvincing in attack, which is especially noticeable in away matches. Confronting Real Madrid on its home court is a difficult test even for more stable teams. We believe that Bayern will not be able to break its individual total in this match.
Prediction - Bayern individual total under 82.5 points for 1.79
