Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroLeague match.
AS Monaco continue their winning streak, recently claiming the top spot thanks to Paris's defeat. Can they conquer Real Madrid and remain at the summit?
Real Madrid
It's become clear that Real Madrid have been inconsistent this season. Therefore, we shouldn't overestimate them following their victory over Paris Basketball (96:85). In fact, we'd highlight Real's weak defensive performance, as the French side were missing their main scorer. Moreover, Real Madrid managed just 35% of their three-point attempts and committed 12 turnovers. They were fortunate that their opponents weren't at full strength.
AS Monaco
AS Monaco recently steamrolled over Bayern Munich (93:74). Their quick ball movement left the German side defenseless. The team delivered 28 assists while recording only five turnovers. Their bench also made a massive impact, scoring 51 points compared to Bayern's 30. In defence, they were impressive with seven steals and five blocks.
Real Madrid vs AS Monaco Prediction
Since Vassilis Spanoulis took charge, AS Monaco have often thrashed top opponents, including a remarkable (+30) victory away against Fenerbahçe. Meanwhile, Real Madrid struggle with quick ball movement, as evident in their match against ASVEL (78:80). Therefore, we anticipate a deserved victory for the visitors.
