Bayern Munich will host Real Madrid on Thursday to begin their 2024/25 EuroLeague Basketball campaign. Los Blancos have dominated Die Roten in this fixture and will arrive fully confident of making a winning start to the season. We have a highlight of the stats defining this match and a prediction.

Bayern haven’t won in the last four meetings with Madrid. That run includes a winless home run in this fixture since October 2019. In the last two seasons, they lost both home and away.

This is a record Pablo Laso’s men will be eager to put an end to. The hosts have had a strong start to their Bundesliga title defence, winning two of their three matches.

Last year, Bayern missed the EuroLeague playoffs by finishing 15th with a 13-21 record. They do not have any injury concerns and will hope that helps.

Real Madrid have had a slow start to their domestic campaign and will be looking to jumpstart their season in Munich. Chus Mateo’s men have lost two of their three matches this season.

They suffered their second successive loss last time out, in their Liga opener away to Basquet Coruna. This skid halted a nine-match winning streak for the Spanish and European giants.

Madrid returned to the top of the domestic league last season but were unable to remain as the last team standing in Europe. The record European champions were unable to retain their EuroLeague title, falling in the final to Panathinaikos.

They could have two players unavailable for this trip. Former Bayern player Serge Ibaka missed the Coruna game due to a back problem. Mario Hezonja has missed the last two matches with a bug.
