Prediction published on 29/01/2024, 10:36  by Kennedy Kechula in EuroLeague Predictions

Real Madrid will be out to keep their 100% EuroLeague home record intact when they host Maccabi Tel Aviv next in the competition. After 23 rounds of play, Madrid sit top of the standings, 14 points clear of seventh-placed Tel Aviv. Real Madrid have won all 11 matches they have played at home this season in the continent. They are the only team left with a 100% home record and will be keen to have it remain so. Chus Mateo’s men are once again dominating in Europe and have won 20 of 23 matches so far. They sit 10 points clear of their closet challengers. Last time out in the competition, they secured a 90-85 victory over Olympiacos. Real are coming off a 100-77 defeat to Gran Canaria in the Spanish domestic league. Mario Hezonja missed the game due to an undisclosed injury and is a doubt for Maccabi’s visit.

Maccabi Tel Aviv lost the first meeting of the season at home 99-70 back in November. The loss continued their disappointing run in this fixture and was their seventh defeat in the last 10 meetings. Tel Aviv have battled with a lack of consistency in Europe and have so far compiled a 13-10 record. Six of their defeats have come on the road. Oded Kattash’s men have won their last two matches. They began with a 90-75 victory over Panathinaikos that put to a halt a run of three successive defeats. This would be followed up by a 97-73 victory over Nes Ziona in the Israeli Super League. Maccabi and Real have the two best-ranked offenses in the EuroLeague and are both averaging at least 85 points a contest. Rafi Meco has been ruled out for this game due to a back problem.
