Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroLeague match.
ASVEL are starting to hit their stride. In the last round, they managed to defeat Anadolu Efes, and now they face the equally formidable Real Madrid. Can the French side replicate their success and secure back-to-back wins for the first time in this campaign?
ASVEL
The French side’s injury woes are nearly behind them. With their roster nearing full strength, they convincingly outplayed Anadolu Efes (97:82), dominating the second half with a score of (50:27). Overall, ASVEL have been impressive offensively in recent games; they've scored over 90 points in three of their last four matches. Moreover, against Anadolu Efes, they showcased their defensive prowess with eight steals and three blocks.
Real Madrid
The Madrid side continue to fluctuate in form. Following a double-overtime victory against Barcelona (97:90), they fell short in the league against Joventut Badalona (76:80). Recently, they also failed to overcome Anadolu Efes (64:74). Notably, Real Madrid have struggled on the road, winning only one of their six EuroLeague away games, despite facing modest competition such as Maccabi Tel Aviv, Milan, and Baskonia.
ASVEL vs Real Madrid Prediction
Given Real Madrid's inconsistency, we think that ASVEL have a strong chance to challenge them. The hosts may not win, but at least they maintain intrigue until the very end.
