Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Liga ACB match.
After two defeats at the start of the season, Real Madrid have begun to find their form with two consecutive victories. Bookmakers see them as clear favourites, but the situation is not so straightforward—let's explain.
Surne Bilbao
This week, the hosts crushed Balkan in the EuroCup match (95:55). Notably, the team finally found their three-point shooting touch, hitting 13 of 28 attempts. However, there are definite defensive issues, as they concede an average of 75 points in league games.
Real Madrid
Surprisingly, the team have faced significant defensive challenges at the start of the season, allowing an average of 91 points over four games. Meanwhile, their offence is operating smoothly, ranking second in the league for scoring, averaging 93 points per game.

Head-to-head meetings have also been high-scoring affairs. Last season, both matches went over 169.5 points. Considering the excellent offensive performances and not so strong defences of both teams, it seems logical to bet on the total over.
