Real Madrid-KK Crvena Zvezda: looking to break Regular Season wins record
After equalling Fenerbahçe's 2019 record of 25 wins, Chus Mateo's boys return to the WiZink Center hoping to go one better (8:30pm CET).
Real Madrid welcome KK Crvena zvezda to the WiZink Center for the EuroLeague Round 32 matchup. Our team have already made sure of first place in the Regular Season and have home-court advantage in the playoff in the bag. With three games to go until the end, Chus Mateo's team will now be hoping to clinch the winning record in this phase of the competition, going one better than Fenerbahçe's 25 wins in 2019.
The madridistas head into the clash with confidence sky high on the back of some impressive recent EuroLeague form that has seen three wins on the bounce away from home, at Virtus Bolonia, Alba Berlin and Partizan. On the last trip to Serbia, Hezonja (25 points and PIR of 33) was on fire, being named MVP of the Round. Now it's time to return home and treat the local fans to another strong display.
Up the other end is a KK Crvena zvezda team who arrive at the WiZink Center in 16th place with a record of 11 wins and 20 defeats. The Belgrade-based team beat Virtus de Bolonia last time out, breaking a six-match losing run. Loannis Sfairopoulos' boys are the second-best unit in the competition on the offensive rebound, thanks in no small part to center Joel Bolomboy. Teodosic is one of the season's top assist-makers while Nedovic is their top point-scorer with 13.8 per game.
Head-to-head
Real Madrid got the better of KK Crvena zvezda at the Stark Arena in the first half of the season (58-72). The two teams have gone up against each other sixteen times in the EuroLeague with eleven wins for the madridistas.
